Peter’s Biography:
Peter Horrobin is the Founder and International Director of Ellel Ministries. Ellel Ministries International was originally established in 1986 as a ministry of healing in the north-west of England. The work is now established with offices in almost 20 countries and students who have trained with Ellel Ministries are working in well over 40 countries.
Family Background
Peter was born in 1943 in Bolton, Lancashire, England. His parents gave him a firm Christian foundation for life with a strong evangelical emphasis. His early grounding in the scriptures was to equip him for future ministry.
Career
After graduating from Oxford University with a degree in chemistry, he spent a number of years in College and University lecturing, before leaving the academic environment for the world of business.
He founded his own publishing and book selling companies and then, after fifteen years of writing, publishing and book selling, the doors opened for the ministry to be established at Ellel Grange. Ellel Grange is a converted country estate used for short-term and long-term healing and discipleship training.
The Call to Ministry
Peter first knew this calling as a young teenager, but he had to wait nearly thirty years before his life’s work was to begin! In his twenties he started to restore a vintage sports car, but discovered that its chassis was bent. As he looked at the broken vehicle, wondering if it could ever be repaired, he sensed God asking him a question, “You could restore this broken car, but I can restore broken lives. Which is more important?”
It was obvious that broken lives were more important than broken cars and so the beginnings of a vision for restoring people was birthed in his heart at that time. A few years later, he was asked to try and help a person who had been sexually abused. Through this experience, God opened up to him the vision for the healing ministry.
He prayed daily into this vision for over ten years before God brought it into being.
The Work of Ellel Ministries
After the establishment of a Prayer Support Group, the purchase of Ellel Grange was completed in November 1986. Since then Ellel Ministries has grown very steadily – there is now a full-time team of over 300 people, running a continuous series of healing retreats and training courses and schools at about twenty different centers around the world. (See www.ellelministries.org for further information.)
Under Peter’s leadership, the world-wide teaching and ministry team has seen God move dramatically in many people’s lives to bring salvation, hope, healing and deliverance. Through them, and in a relatively short period of time, God has built a work of international significance. The work is a faith ministry, depending totally on donations and income from training courses for maintaining and extending the work.
Ellel 365 is a major online training program that has been developed and pioneered by Peter for Ellel Ministries. Ellel 365 provides in-depth online training in Christian Discipleship and Healing and may be accessed via www.em365.org.
Marriage and Family
Peter is married to Fiona, and they have been privileged to serve the Lord together in the leadership of Ellel Ministries. Their four children are all involved in Christian work, three of them working in different sectors of Ellel Ministries.
Peter and Fiona now travel extensively to support and encourage the different Ellel teams and have a particular responsibility within the ministry for pioneering new developments. Together they teach and minister on many different aspects of healing and discipleship.
Other Interests
Outside of Ellel Ministries, Peter was the originator and one of the compilers of the amazingly successful and popular Mission Praise, the first volume of which was originally compiled for Billy Graham’s Mission England in 1984. The 25th Anniversary Edition of Mission Praise was published in July 2009.
Peter is also an enthusiast for fishing and Alvis cars. His Complete Catalogue of British Cars, which was first published in 1975, has long been the standard reference work on the history and technical specification of every model of every make of British car, manufactured between 1895 and 1975! During his years in academic life he also wrote and edited books of specialist technical interest about different aspects of building science and technology.

You have crossed my mind a number of times and I wanted to touch base and say hello.
I pray you and Fiona are well.

Dear Peter,
Along with my daily Bible reading, I am undertaking the ‘online’ Ellel 365 course, which is just great!
I’m on topic/step/day 75 and I can testify that this work/course that the LORD has led you to create is ‘HUGELY ANOINTED’. I would recommend this course to anyone as it’s very convenient; also the charges are very very reasonable, I know that most people could very easily afford this course, it’s relevant, it’s walking through your own personal healing journey step by step, it has great depth and leads into revealing God’s great revelations, wisdom, insights, Godly HEALING every time I read each topic area, (which usually takes me about 15 to 20mins to read and then I spend about 20 to 30 mins just taking it all in and seeing what the LORD is revealing to me and where HE wants me to be healed.) It also reveals GOD’s wonders and beauty and how much our Father in Heaven SO incredibly with great eagerness, commitment and with HIS powerful LOVE just loves us, each one. HE ‘ DEEPLY CARES’ about each and every big to thee smallest details of my life, my thoughts, my concerns, my ways, my past, present and future! It’s a wonderful tool that GOD has given through your hands to share with ALL in the World. I’m also presently talking to my Rev’d to get the congregation to use this tool as part of their FULL Salvation journey, which of course includes healing and restoration!
Added to this, my husband who has very recently come to the LORD is finding the course immensely helpful and a good guide as he takes each step of his journey with Christ. I have printed off a couple of topics for him to read and he feels greatly moved by the LORD, which is great, great for me to see and I ‘Praise God and give HIM ALL the Glory’!!!
God bless you, your family and Ellel Ministry.

Someone with some connection to you commented on my blog: Scripturestudent.worpress.com, and in responding to their comment, I inadvertently linked to your blog. Isn’t this a small world! I’m glad to know of your ministry and very impressed by your compassion and candor. Keep up your good work! Let’s pry for each other! donkimrey
Back here again. As you probably noticed, I meant to say: Let’s “PRAY” for each other, not “pry!” I’m very impressed with your work and hope you’ll take a look at something I’ve done. After being away from the Lord too long, I returned to Christ. In the wake of that, I studied some Biblical characters. They were flawed, and I asked myself how that could be the case. How could “saints” be so obviously flawed. Then, How did they recover?” My website contains sample chapters of some who acted exactly as we do. i believe some to whom you are ministering would find help…especially in the case of how Joseph managed to recover. The site is: Godscomebackkids.com . Keep up your good work. donkimrey
very nice article, i genuinely love this site, keep it up.
