Peter Adam’s Praise and Prayer Letter (October 2022)

October – December 2022

Beloved friends,

Praise: [I often use these words in my daily prayers].

I praise and thank you for family and friends: for my parents, for all their love, care, generosity, patience and forbearance; for siblings and family; for good friends: for enjoyment, generosity, and love, for times of joy, and burdens shared; for all who have forgiven me, coped with me, worked with me, carried me, and exhorted me; for all who have prayed for me and encouraged me so faithfully, and for those who continue to do so.

Please praise God for these opportunities for ministry, and pray for:

Health. I had another cancer removal from my scalp and skin graft from my neck last month. The doctors have decided I do not need Radiation on my scalp at this stage [a great relief!].

I will have a month’s holiday in December, and will be back to work in January.

Thank you so much for your prayers.

Yours,
