Brenda Peters

Brenda Peters ministers with her husband, Ben and is a co-founder of Open Heart Ministries. She has responded to the call of God to use her prophetic and speaking gifts to encourage, edify and raise up as many members of the body of Christ as she can.

A mother of five children, who love and serve God, she has ministered for over thirty years in a multitude of capacities. These include children and women’s ministries as a pastor’s wife, teaching phonetics and speaking in their Christian school, and serving as an operating room technician in both large and small hospitals.

Brenda’s reputation as a speaker is growing rapidly since the couple left their church in Raymond, Washington, in 1997, after fifteen years of service there. She has ministered in numerous women’s meetings, and retreats, in several states and Canadian provinces. She has also shared the pulpit with her husband in large conferences and pastors retreats in North America, Korea and Mozambique.

Brenda’s style of ministry is very practical, yet dynamic. It is also both entertaining and heart-impacting. Under the name, Open Heart Ministries, both Ben and Brenda focus on touching people’s hearts, to open them up to God’s love, and to encourage them to serve God with all their hearts.

From her traumatic childhood to her adventures of life-on-the-road, Brenda’s real life experiences have given her much material for the impacting stories she tells. Her audiences often alternate between laughter and tears, as they identify with her joys and pain.

Brenda grew up in Seattle and then attended Canadian Bible College, in Regina, Saskatchewan, where she met her husband, Ben. They have served together as pastors of a country church, as associate pastors to a man with a strong healing and deliverance anointing, and also as pastors of Willapa Harbor Christian Fellowship and Christian Fellowship Academy, which they founded in 1983, in Raymond, Washington, a small fishing and logging community on the Pacific Coast.

When not doing ladies meetings, Brenda usually co-ministers with her husband and flows not only with a strong speaking ministry, but also with a strong prophetic anointing. By God’s grace, Brenda has given personal prophetic ministry to several thousand individuals per year since 1999.

The Peters live and minister by faith in God, not only for the results in people’s lives, but also for their own support. They make no requests or appeals for finances and have seen God take care of them miraculously.
