Our Pastor

Phillip & Rene Adams
 

Bio: Hello, my name is Phillip Adams. I am married  to the "wife of my youth" Sharan Rene'

Adams for 39 years. We have three sons, Marshall, Michael, and Mark who is in heaven.

Mark was killed in combat in Iraq on October 15, 2005 serving in the Marines. We have four

Grandchildren, John Mark Adams, and Victoria Abigail Adams, Samuel Jed Adams, and Charles

Riner Adams. I received my ministry education from Luther Rice Bible College in Lithonia,

Georgia and  Southeastern Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, NC. I pastored Mount Hermon

Baptist Church in Durham, NC from 1984-1999. Since Mark's death I have been the Executive

Director of the "Sgt. Mark P. Adams Foundation." The Foundation funds "Passion for Peru

Ministries" and  Make a Difference Wrestling Clinics." We have been going to Peru since 2003,

over 40 trips, doing Evangelism and Discipleship training. We also provide food, clothes and

shoes to the people up in the Andes Mountains. The "Make a Difference" wrestling clinics are

centered around confronting high school age young men with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We have a college wrestling coach, who is a christian, come and teach a one-day High School wrestling clinic and also share his testimony. We share Mark's story and the assurance that he is in heaven. We challenge them to think about their lives and their relationship with Jesus Christ. God has blessed us to have shared the gospel with hundreds of people and truly make a difference in the lives of many people in Peru and here in the states.
