Commendations:

From a happy, enjoyable childhood on a South African farm to evangelist, choir master, Bible teacher, editor, Bible College principal, author and international preacher, “Adventures of Faith” is an account of God’s grace in salvation, God’s guidance in service and God’s goodness in supplying needs in remarkable ways.
It tells of a life fully yielded to God, that has touched many of all ages and prepared them for service in God’s harvest field and for eternity.
A wonderful record!
—Rev. Tom. Shaw BA MTh, Congregational minister & Former President of the Faith Mission


In this fascinating life story, Dr. Colin Peckham has given clear testimony to the reality of God’s existence and presence. The heavenly Potter tenderly molded one chosen out of the people; remaining with him, teaching and leading him to make him that very special instrument, meet for the Master’s use! The writer proves that by maintaining a personal, intimate relationship with God, He is ever faithful to His promises and that He answers prayer - often in wonderful and mysterious ways! The reader will be thrilled to learn of countless victories won in Christ’s Name. Colin has kept an amazingly careful record of his ministry as an evangelist and Bible teacher. The events, as God led him on, seem to flow as separate streamlets and to merge into a river of victory, praise and glory! I trust that this thrilling story of a much-used servant of God will be read with as much blessing and delight, as it has proved to me! Your faith will be strengthened and your heart stirred, strangely warmed and filled with hope and joy as you read how God rewarded the wholehearted consecration of this young man, how He brought to him a wife with the same burden and vision, how He filled his heart with heavenly joy, with a passion for souls and with a consuming and lasting love for his Master!
—Pieter Scholtz, Former General Superintendent of the Africa Evangelistic Band, South Africa
