Dr. Lane G. Adams

Sending condolences to the family of Lane Adams who spoke at a crusade where I first gave my heart to Jesus Christ at Lancaster Park in Christchurch, New Zealand in the 1970's. May God's blessing rest on all of you.

God bless on this next adventure

Hello. I wanted to express my sympathy to Mr Adams family. I also wanted to relate an incident that happened maybe 20-25 years ago. I attended a prayer breakfast where Mr Adams was the Keynote speaker. This was in Zion, IL where my Pastor, Robert Liechty was the chairman of this breakfast. Anyway, I can still hear him quote from Psalm 2 where among other things he admonished us to quit feeling sorry for ourselves and griping about our culture. It still rings in my ear as he spoke...

Dear Annette and Family,

We were surprised and saddened to hear of Lane's passing. I served as General Chairman for the Lake County Crusade in Waukegan, IL. in 1973 where he held his last crusade for Billy Graham.

God gave us 500 decisions over 10 days. Lane and I had great fellowship. He was an intelligent, articulate, and dynamic preacher with unusual credibility.

Lane gave me a signed copy of his book, "How come it's taking me so long to get better." I am just...

I have Very fond memories of Lane Adams during his time at Chapelgate. He always had time to say hello when I was with my father either Sunday mornings or during the week. We grieve with you over your loss of this Great man, but know that He is rejoicing.

We will always remember Dr. Adams when he was with us at Chapelgate. In fact, he baptized our son, Andrew in June 1989 just before he left us. We know that he is rejoicing with the Lord and that someday we will be re-united with him. Our condolences to you, Annette and your family. Keep on trusting in Jesus.

Sincerely,
The Erikson Family: Jon, Michael, Andrew, Victoria, and Elizabeth

We were fortunate to know and love Lane and his family for many years. We pray for comfort for all of you in the days to come. God bless.

Lane was the pastor of Second Presbyterian Church during the time I was in Junior High and High School. He very much helped me grow in my relationship with the Lord during those critical years. The Lord used his passion for God's Word to call me into full time ministry as a Bible teacher. I can only hope that I am helping my students as much as Lane helped me. He was a mighty man of God.

Dear God!

Thank you for touching our lives with Lane Adams....your faithful servant. What a wonderful teacher, pastor, friend and tennis partner he was. I bet Jim Whipple has already lined him up for a tennis match in heaven! We praise you for this man of God. Amen.

Dear Annette,

Having just arrived home from church, I can tell you that Second Presbyterian is grieving with you...those who knew Lane and those who have heard of him and the legend of love for him. ...
