Up-date and October Newsletter

Things are really rolling along. I am mentoring Brother Lee watts to take over the duties of the ministry in the state Capitol and he will be ready to do it all by the 2011 session. Pray for us as we work together to see the ministry to our elected officials continue as it has these last twenty-seven years. Pray for my health as I continue to do all I can for the Lord. Below is the October newsletter.

September 2009 is in the history books and we had a great month for the Lord! Bro. Lee Watts has moved to Kentucky and we have begun teaching and training him for the ministry. Pray as the next eighteen months will be busy and critical. Pray for Bro. Lee as he learns to take on the ministry at the Capitol and all the office responsibilities that go with it. Pray for Saundra and I as we shoulder the extra expenses of mentoring Bro. Watts. There will be extra postage, printing, travel and time. It is so exciting to see God preparing for the next generation. When you begin a work you never think about when you must train future leaders for the next phase of the work to be carried on by God’s new leaders.

We had a great time with Brother Richard Oldham and the folks at Glendale Baptist Church in their “God and Country Day”. Brother Richard has labored at Glendale Baptist Church for 50 years and is my father in the faith. Saundra and I have spent a lot of office hours this month getting much needed correspondence caught up and doing organizational things that just have to be done. We have answered a lot of school questions for church schools and home schools as this school year has begun. The radio programs all went out on time and I attended several meetings of organizations I work with in the ministry.

I am writing this letter just before I go to have eye surgery. They are going to remove a cataract from my right eye and put a lens implant in. I am not sure how this will affect my typing and office work for a few days but I wanted to let you know what was going on in the ministry and at the Adams’ household. Saundra and I did get to spend a few days with Andrea (our youngest daughter) and Mark Forester in Michigan but most of all the two grandboys, Tyler and Trevor. Alesha (our old daughter) and John Seay and the four grand kids, Sarah, Cynthia, John Mark and Karissa, got moved into their new pastorate in Frederick, Maryland. We miss them being with us but it is a joy to know they are serving the Lord in a solid church. Paul (our ugly son) and Amye are here in Nelson County but most of all our grandchildren, Blake, Emily and Zach are here. If you have been counting I named all our grandchildren and they total nine. All these families get our newsletter and I am interested in what they will say about my comments about each of them (youngest, old and ugly).
It is such a joy to serve the Lord and know that He has given me the greatest Christian friends in the world. Thank you for your gifts, support, prayers and love for this ministry. May every soul led to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ go to your account. Saundra and I have pledged to serve God till we have no more breath.
