About Pieter de Waal

Pieter was born in South Africa in 1961 and now stays in the city of Centurion, close to Johannesburg.

His background includes the facilitation of practical leadership and management training. He also received ministry training at Campus Crusade for Christ, where he ministered to singles, students, and the youth. 

After that, he spent more than twenty years on the engineering faculty at Tshwane South College in Centurion, South Africa, where he became a co-founder and board member of the Christian Students Movement, a discipleship ministry for college students. This ministry enabled him and his colleagues to present yearly life enrichment seminars for their students.

He loves developing Christian seminar materials and presenting them to students.

His series of teachings on spiritual warfare was originally called Gladiators for God. But after expanding it to encompass the fullness of God’s covenant walk with each believer, it is now being transformed into the Co-Walk series. 

Eventually, however, Pieter decided to give up his love for teaching engineering students.  His management and leadership skills inevitably led to his appointment as Head of the Department of Natural Sciences.  Despite his accomplishments in this capacity, he earnestly wanted to devote more time to developing his instructional programs. So he decided to go into early retirement to further pursue his first love of researching and teaching the Word of God. Thus, at the end of 2018, he permanently left the Technical College environment.

Pieter is very excited about his materials’ impact on the church worldwide. He has the vision that Christians worldwide would rise and obtain the fullness of God’s purpose for their lives, and is convinced that his unique materials will make all the difference.

Pieter is married to Marietjie, and they have three children and one grandchild. They love spending time outdoors, but Pieter usually finds himself locked to his computer, working on his Christian study materials.
