Peter Demos was exposed to church and Christianity from a very young age. Through his exposure to people to claimed to be Christians, but didn't lead faith-filled lives, he became very antagonistic towards Christians. His experiences in college encouraged this attitude. When he met his wife, faith - or the lack thereof - was something they kept quiet.

When Peter gave his life to Christ, he started exploring what it meant to give every part of his life and business over to God as a ministry and a mission field.

"If all things we do, we do to the glory of God, then that includes our business." - Peter Demos
