Pete Portal is originally from London but has lived in Cape Town since 2009. He is part of leading Tree of Life, a church in Manenberg running ministries among the vulnerable and marginalised. He is also on the board of 24-7 Prayer South Africa, and spends much of his time growing relationships and networks across racial and socio-economic divides.
Pete and his wife Sarah do life with young men coming out of gangsterism and drug addiction and, along with a team of friends, disciple these young men into faith, freedom and wholeness.
Pete has recently written a book, How to be (Un)Successful with an accompanying series from 24-7 Prayer, How to be Unsuccessful.
