Dear Pastor, Church, & All Supporters:
1Th 4:13 ¶ But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
1Th 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
The month of October had times of great joy, and great sorrow, (IF) you read the published announcement I sent out regarding mum going on to be with our LORD, then also you know it takes time to heal. Grieving is an important part of the human life, GOD created us with emotions, feelings, a (soul) and all of us, if we live long enough will go through this…. experiencing the loss of a dear one. As Paul wrote to the Thessalonians, though we may grieve and have great sorrow, yet we have (hope), we too will rise in the resurrection (those who know the LORD).
The month of November has been filled with legal business; my younger sister Grace & I have been the primary ones taking care of the legalities with & for mum’s things. Some things will take time yet, other things we have resolved, those of you who have been through this will know what I mean.
I have visited my home church in Seffner, FL this month, spent some time with my pastor and his dad Bro. Gary Pierce. Whilst I was with mum in Greece back in September, Bro. Tate’s mum also passed away. I was unable to attend the funeral & or assist. It wasn’t long and mum also passed on, after we returned to the U.S.
I felt it was needful (and it was) to spend time with my pastor, & church. Following, it was my pastor, his dad and myself who needed to spend some time away, alone, just being men, which, we did.
I have been preparing for my mission trip to Malawi Africa (departing) on second of December 2025 from Birmingham, AL. I will have with me Jacob Wallace, a young man (grandson) of Bro. Dale Wallace pastor of Damascus Baptist church in N.C. Jacob will spend some time with me on the mission fields, both in Malawi and PNG.
Pray for Jacob if the LORD brings to your remembrance, it’s one thing to take a trip with someone in the same country you are from, it’s another thing to travel, experience, and live in another country, another people, customs, food, language etc…
Another event that I would ask you to remember in prayer, that is (April 2026) in PNG, there will be a landmark event to be held, conducted within the mission work. There are no less than ten men, perhaps more that are preparing for their ordinations to the Gospel ministry.
The ‘ordination’ ceremony (does not) make the ‘calling of GOD’ any more or less, that is GOD’S part, we cannot get into that, however there is a ‘public testimony, proving oneself’…. that has a positive effect on those who witness such.
My pastor Bro. Tate Pierce along with Bro. Bobby Smith (pastor) of Hilcrest Baptist church in Lexington, N.C. will be coming to participate in and witness this landmark event.
I have invited ‘others’ it remains to be seen yet if others come. I would challenge any and all, if you want to visit a mission work carried out on a biblical scale, buy your ticket come to PNG, witness the work, come home and tell what you saw!
May the LORD bless the work of your hands, smile upon your life as you labour for HIM in the place HE has set you.
I want to thank each of you for your prayers for me and the work, I could not do what I do without your faithful financial support.
In His Name,
Missionary Peter Halliman
