Peter Watt
Peter Watt has been working with men and women to deepen their relationships with Christ for the past 20 years by leading small groups through church, and actively involved in organizing retreats that change lives. God’s call on his life led him to take Crossways to Life’s Advanced Training course and graduate in November 2018. This commitment was made while he was living in Ottawa. God’s call led him to continue his training as an intern and eventually move to Kitchener to become a full time Discipleship-Counselor with Crossways.
Peter’s desire to share the freedom he has experienced while taking the Advanced Training has inspired him to teach lessons outside of Crossways with recovering addicts, homeless people and friends he’s known for years. The turning point for him was understanding that during his physical birth, he was “IN” Adam and as such, born a sinner; but when he accepted Christ as his saviour, he became “IN” Christ and a saint who sometimes sins. Christ’s work on the cross has done it all, he just needed to accept that truth and learn to live in that truth.
Peter married Anita in 1994 and they have two grown boys, Christopher and Justin, and a youthful dog aptly named Trinity. Peter and Anita were both raised Catholics and followed that faith until 1997, when they were introduced to a personal relationship with Jesus and a desire to experience more of His freedom.
