We did a lot with Phillip from time to time. We have had such fond memories & Holy Ghost filled services and prayers together. I miss his surprise visits to our home to pray & share. We especially loved our time together @ WKTO Radio Station in New Smyrna, Florida. He helped us to meet many people who believed in Jesus Christ! I still miss my brother and hope he is having fun in heaven.

Phillip Adam's was more then a friend to me, he was my Christian brother. He stood with me through some tough times in my life, and I will always remember the power of the lord on his prayers..
This picture is a very special and precious memory to me taken the Saturday before Jesus called him home.
Brother Phillip would often go buy Jesus hats at the Daytona flea market to give away to strangers as a winess of Christ' love, and he asked me to ride with him and that was him after he pulled up and was clearing my seat. I never would've guessed it would be my last moments to spend with my friend on this earth. He was walking very slow, so much so that I asked him about his legs and I knew in my spirit my friend was hurting in his body. But we prayed and the last thing he said to me this side of heaven was how thankful he was that I rode with him; but I want to leave this memory now as an honor and thankyou to him for the blessing his life and testimony will always be to me until we meet again..
Will miss my buddy coming by to see me..Jason henry
