God is passionate about reaching the lost and if we are to join Jesus in His mission which is summarised in Luke 19:10 as follows, ‘the son of man came to seek and to save the lost’, we need to connect with God’s heart and feel His passion for the lost people that we are among.
Many lost people are close to us but far from God. To help you to (re)discover and connect with God’s heart for lost people we have produced ‘Pursuing God’s Heart’ as a critical step in The Rooftop Process.

Hi, I’m Dennis Pethers

Born near London in a completely secular environment, Dennis often says, “I didn’t know that I didn’t know Jesus.” His life was transformed when a boss gave him a copy of C.S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity. Through that book, Dennis discovered a staggering truth: the Creator of the universe loved him enough to die for him.

That encounter ignited a lifelong passion to reach people who, like his younger self, have never heard the Gospel. After training at Spurgeon’s College, Dennis pastored a church and led Viz-A-Viz Ministries in the UK for 20 years. In 2012, he founded The Rooftop, a global movement that equips the church to join Jesus in His mission by making disciples beyond the church walls.

Dennis is married to Lynn, and they are the proud parents of three adult children: Gregg, Scott, and Amy.

Discipleship Formation Journey

Pursuing God’s Heart


To join Jesus in His mission, we must first share His passion.


Jesus defined His mission clearly in Luke 19:10: "The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost." If we are going to follow Him, we need to align our heartbeat with His.


Many people around us are physically close, yet spiritually far from God. We interact with them every day, but do we see them the way God does? "Pursuing God’s Heart" is a critical step in The Rooftop Process, designed to help you (re)discover the depth of God's love for the lost.


This course invites you to move beyond duty and into a genuine connection with the heart of the Father.
