Ps Keith & Ps Peka Walters

Keith and Peka are from an evangelical Pentecostal background in New Zealand. Loving God and loving people has inspired them to live life to the full in Jesus and to share that fullness with others. 2009 found the call of God, through the Word and backed up with a prophetic dream has led them to what is now ‘Ignite Life Churches Inc.’ It’s 2025 and ILC has multiple campuses in Australia and Uganda. The journey so far has been an exhilarating adventure filled with joy, laughter, obstacles, potholes, sunny days, rainy days and here they now find they are standing in “wide open spaces” by the grace of God. The proud parents of four adult kids and their respective husbands, wives and partners. Nana 'n Poppa to four grandsons, three grand daughters and by God their declaration is that “life is good!” BUT WAIT THERES MORE! 2025 began with a rip roaring start as they introduced The Red Truck ministry! Deniliquin NSW has gained momentum with new pastors Trev and Lynette Kay installed in April, Cobram Campus under the leadership of Ps Greg and Ps Caz growing and Gold Coast campus with Ps Rod and Ps Jeanette changing venue to the Beenleigh Life Style Center opening up the potential for even more good changes in the future. Ignite Uganda missions now with 9 x Ignite Life Campuses, the Ignite Bible College attached to Gweri Ignite Nursery & Primary School and 3 more Primary Schools attached to another 3 of our country churches. God came to give us life in abundance!


Ignite Life Church Inc. Governance Team

When you ask us what we do at Ignite Life Church you won’t get a job description; you’ll hear a tale. We are passionate about what we do and using our talents for God’s purposes and that’s why we’ve dedicated our lives and careers to serving God. Its not just a job, it’s a lifestyle as we have the privilege of leading people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus. As we do this we work hard at living in ‘wide open spaces’ where bold risk taking, epic generosity, authentic spiritual integrity and hearty laughter along the way is our ‘good and acceptable service’ as we honour God. Ignite Life Church is passionate about reaching into our communities, making a difference in everyday lives, being there in disasters and celebrating the successes together. Touching lives with the good news of Christ is a living process for us not just an event.
