Mentors
Cor Deo Mentors
Dr Ron Frost is a student of history, especially the history of Christian spirituality. Ron served on faculty for more than 20 years at Multnomah Bible College and Biblical Seminary. At the seminary, from 1995-2007, he was professor of historical theology and ethics.
Ron earned his PhD at King’s College of the University of London. His research featured Richard Sibbes (1577-1635), an educator and pastor at Gray’s Inn, London, and Katharine Hall, Cambridge. Sibbes was captivated by God’s love. This love, he held, is birthed out of the eternal triune communion of God. Thus God’s love is a “spreading goodness” that extends to the cosmos as the basis for its creation and the context for all of human life and conduct.
Ron now teaches internationally while serving as a pastoral care consultant to missionaries with Barnabas International. He is passionate about sharing God’s heart in churches, conferences, and Bible schools, as well as discipling through shared Bible reading. Ron authored Discover the Power of the Bible and writes on spreadinggoodness.org [See “Resources”]. He deeply enjoyed his doctoral studies in England and is looking forward to pursuing further ministry opportunities here and abroad while mentoring in Cor Deo.
Dr Peter Mead is a student of biblical preaching. Peter grew up in Bristol, before studying at Multnomah Biblical Seminary and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. He now serves as a minister and Bible Teacher with Operation Mobilisation. Peter is married to Melanie and they have four children.
Peter earned his Doctor of Ministry degree at Gordon-Conwell, where he was mentored by Dr Haddon Robinson, author of Biblical Preaching. Peter’s studies focused on the relationship between biblical preaching and the personal spirituality of listeners. His work combined hermeneutics, homiletics and Christian spirituality, which reflects his passions in ministry – equipping people to handle God’s Word, to contagiously communicate it to others, and to grow spiritually.
As well as serving Operation Mobilisation, Peter also preaches and teaches preaching in a variety of settings as a trainer for Langham Preaching, as an Associate Research Fellow for London School of Theology, and as a visiting lecturer at several international Bible schools. He is very involved in the life of the local church and authors BiblicalPreaching.net [See “Resources”]. Peter is excited to participate in Cor Deo, not only as a mentor, but also as a member of the team responding to God’s heart together.
