Peter McKeever Summer days in Banff when our children were small and Peter had hair! All our family remember those times with joy. Thank you for sharing with us and creating memories that last. Love from the McKeevers

Phil Davies Dear Peter, I (Phil) remember the first time I saw you preach distinctly . It was in Birmingham in 1981. I had come with a group from Swansea to the OM Leadership Conference. I had met Nigel Lee (your very dear friend) the autumn before and came to receive some more input. It was first your preaching that drew me to you. That honest, biblical and faithful style mixed with your gentle and gracious humour. We returned the next year and the next. Through the many years in OM that followed when Sheila then I joined OM in 1984 it was your bible teaching and your gentle leadership that often brought inspiration, encouragement and a sense that the Lord has His hand on OM. There were many times in the years that followed (both in OM and now in Counties) you brought a sense of balance mingled with wisdom as you pointed us forward in leadership and then took your hands off to let us run and lead. Sheila would always say that your teaching was one of the things that stood out for us. Thank you, our brother. We will miss you on earth but look forward with you to …. .... mansions of Glory and endless delight. I'll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright. I'll sing with the glittering crown upon my brow. If ever I loved Thee my Jesus tis now. Win and your family will be much on our hearts and prayers in the days that lie ahead I took these picture around 1989 /90 in India together with your dear friend Philip who is also with Jesus – We remember your wisdom, grace, humour and biblical insights with great delight. Phil & Sheila Davies (Swansea)

Juhani Ahola For Peter, In -97 we returned from Israel and you Peter "checked" me up if I was ok to become F/L. I always admired Peter your flexibility and patience that you had with 'super-energy' George. What an odd ‘twin’ brotherhood that blessed all of us. At the conferences I attend - you kept things going forward and yet kept a humor flowing even during the hard times. When you open the word – I did not want to miss a word you said. Peter, you have been blessing to me. Here is the song I made last year – reflecting Revelation 21:1-5 – New Heaven https://juhaniahola.bandcamp.com/track/new-heaven Juhani Ahola

K. Rajendran Starting point was in OM, on Global South Thinking. Already Global South Movement were going on. I got involved in 1983. OM was pioneer in Global thinking, handing-over leadership to many local leaders. Starting point was in OM, on Global South Thinking. Pramila & I got involved in OM, India Missions Association [IMA], Lausanne, Great Commission Roundtable, World Evangelical Alliance Mission Commission [WEA MC] & wider circle. WEA MC meeting Iguassu, Brazil in 1999. Global South Thinking, I was familiar with it.

Loraine Pinder-Browne Dear Peter & Win Greetings from Mosbach, Germany! I am so glad that I had the immense privilege to work with you for a number of years in Carlisle at OM International. I admire you both for your incredible servant hearts and love for those around you. I remember so well, the General Council conference in 2003 which we held at the Keswick Convention site and where you, Peter, took over the leadership of OM from George. My role was to organise the logistics of that massive event with 1700 people from around the OM World coming together to celebrate this occasion. I remember how we prayed and prayed and prayed for the weather to be good for the days of the conference and sure enough God answered our prayer. It was the hottest week that year! I also remember how the railways went on strike the night before we had to transport 1700 people back to airports around the country but once again, through much prayer, God came through for us. I always felt your support and care during those days of preparation and even though it was very hard work, I count it as such a blessing to have worked and served with you during those days. I attach a few photos of the clean-up which always make me laugh and also show what kind of person you are - your servant heart. So long... until we meet again in the place where we will worship the Lamb of God forever and ever and ever. Blessings

Rachel Page Dear Peter & Win, I have many memories of serving under your leadership at ICT Carlisle and was always blessed to see the International Director of OM doing some of the menial tasks like washing dishes. I loved hearing Peter preach at Hebron, Keswick and around OM. Most precious to me is your friendship and the Christmas’ in your home. I remember Peter dropping a bottle of oil needed for Christmas dinner as we were preparing to serve it and was surprised at the calm way in which both Peter & Win handled that in the moment. I remember joy - there is always joy & laughter with you around. Once I was staying in your home while you were away and took a phone call from a guy in prison who phoned from time to time to talk to Peter - you really care for those who are struggling. I know you both love your family dearly and I pray these are precious days for you all.

Scott Holland We first met Peter at the Turkey field retreat in Bursa in 2009. Peter and his wife brought us some Marmite. In return we gave them some Turkish Delight for friends back in Carlisle. Peter was an inspirational speaker and great encourager. Sadly, only one of our friends got the Turkish Delight. I just hope Peter and his wife and our friend Keith enjoyed the Turkish Delight.

Hans Van Baaren Dear Peter - Thank you for joyfully chairing and participating in so many memorable Ships leadership meetings - especially in launching the Logos Hope into ministry. Your gentle and wise words laced with humor have helped us through many a difficult situation whilst keeping Logos II and Doulos in ministry. Going through my files, I mostly have you captured in (endless) 'Ships Meetings' like the attached photo from Mark Knight in 2009. Thanks for playing such a key role in keeping us on course and getting the Logos Hope launched into ministry.

Frank Hinkelmann Just one of many unforgettable memories with Peter. The IEC meetings in Beijing. On a bus on our way back to the hotel from a trip to the Great Wall. Photo taken by Win Maiden.

Julie Grasman Long days in meetings, that made you go sleep (of course jet lag played a part), however we were very encouraged that you came all the way from the UK to be in our OM Latin America leaders meeting in Ecuador many years ago. Thank you for coming alongside us in many ways, especially with your great speaking skills and bible teaching. You always connected individually with all the leaders. Very grateful for all your advices, big picture thinking and above all your humility. Alex and Julie Paniagua OM LAM.

Swee Gim Cheong Dear Peter & Win, Tears rolled down my cheeks as I read your latest update. Memories of you were my days on the IEC from 2006 – 2014 when you invited a few of us women to be on the IEC. I remember sitting in the room with you and all the men around the table at West Watch. I felt so small and overwhelmed, surrounded by the giants! But you and Win were so esteeming and made me feel so welcome. It was a privilege and honour to have served under your leadership. In all those years I had never heard a harsh or unkind word. You were always so full of grace and humility. You have modelled godly, servant leadership. If I were to name someone who resembles Jesus the most, it would be you Peter. Wye Choon describes you as like Apostle Paul. And Win, I treasure all the tea and coffee times with you when you took us ladies out in between our IEC meetings. The times of laughter and cheer we had together. Thank you Peter & Win for your lives.

Erin Prior So many amazing memories to choose from but here are a few that have meant the world to me: -learning from your overwhelming, incredible dedication to God. Attempting to mirror your morning routine waking up on Christmas Eve at 7am to do a bible study with you. - our big family get together at Windermere jetty watching you and grandma sitting and laughing together on the lake, thanking God for such amazing loving grandparents and praying for a relationship like yours someday. -when you and grandma often came to York for a day trip to visit me, the multiple coffee stops, walks and chats. You are both more than grandparents to me, you are amazing friends. - the multiple IKEA trips, which I know you (not so secretly) hated haha. -doing the park run in Kendal together and watching you cross the finish line, being so proud to call you my very speedy grandad. -volunteering at Keswick convention, seeing you on the stage and telling people ‘THATS MY GRANDAD’ being amazed at the way God has worked through you and the amount of lives you have touched with Gods word!!

Gill Waller Wow Peter, can't believe I'm writing this, love you guys so much and can't put into words what you've meant to me. So many memories...you were the first person I met at the door of Hebron as a 19 year old longing to find a deeper understanding of Jesus. You've been with me through the highs and lows of life and it was an honour to support you as PA in OM but more precious to enjoy the close relationship with you and Win which far exceeds a friendship. I'm so glad we set up the diary committee which meant blocking out time for Win and making sure she could join you for more trips. We all had so much fun together and that has continued even though we live on opposite sides of the world. Here's a photo of that fab winter's day when we took the boat to that magical bird sanctuary and on the way you caught this fish within seconds!....a natural fisherman ...and not just fish! I'm not saying goodbye....you're about to become more alive than ever and we'll see you again and enjoy some 'out of this world times' with our Father! Thanks so much for everything, you know how important you've been, I promise I'll continue to love Win deeply and take every opportunity to spend special times with her, see you soon, Gill, Mart, Rach and Bethy x

Tim Maiden “SOON AND VERY SOON WE ARE GOING TO SEE THE KING.” Dear Praying Friends and Colleagues, Greetings in our Lord Jesus. For nine months with careful chemotherapy treatment, I’ve enjoyed reasonably good health and a very good year. Recently things have been going downhill extremely rapidly and yesterday I visited my oncologist once again. His news was exactly what I was expecting and that is that no further treatment is going to be helpful, therefore I have been moved to palliative care. He also made it clear that because of the severe deterioration in the liver, my time on this earth would be measured in weeks rather than months. “Of course,” he said, “this is not a science, but that is my best guess as I look at your recent results.” Without being triumphalistic, I trust, I want to assure you that I have peace which is overwhelming. It’s not the same, of course, when I think of Win, the children and the grandchildren. My heart breaks and my prayers are intense for them, that they will adjust to life without me. It’s quite a prospect to be thinking that within a few weeks I may be with the One whom “having not seen, I love”. It’s also an unbelievable prospect that very soon I may have no further struggle with the flesh, the world and the devil. Please pray that I make it through these weeks or months, which remain without being shipwrecked. Satan is a most subtle foe, as all of us know. Many of you have been friends and prayer and financial supporters for many years. Some of you 50 years and more. To my continuing astonishment, many of you assure me that you pray for me every day. What can I say, but thank you on behalf of Win and myself? The ministry which God has given us for these last 50 years would not have been possible without you. So, thank you, thank you, thank you. I’m determined to live life to the full as long as I possibly can and looking forward to further time with family. One specific prayer request would be for my son, Dan. He lives with his family in Canada and, of course, wants to visit. Choosing the right time over the next few weeks, with his work and family responsibilities and with quarantine at both ends is a tough one. I don’t think I will write another update, unless something dramatic occurs. God bless you and thank you sincerely for your love, support and prayers given over the years. I leave you with the verse that my granddaughter, Erin, sent to me when she heard the news. “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Rom 8:38-39) Your brother in Christ, Peter Maiden

Pamela Shaw An afternoon off during the ILM in Singapore in 1996. It was a privilege to have been his PA for a few years. He was the same man 24/7. A true saint! God bless.

Fred and Karen Kay Perry Dear Peter and Win, How thankful we have been to minister with you in the OM family for so many years. It is difficult to recall specific memories but I believe the last time we were together was at a gathering in Egypt. I know we were also there at Keswick in England when you took over as the International Director of O.M. I felt like that was a little taste of heaven with so many of us gathered from around the world. Wonderful!! Oh, and I almost forgot, Many years ago when our kiddos were young, you invited us to stay in your lovely home in Carlisle. We had an amazing time in Edinburgh, Scotland during their August festival. Thank you once again. May the Lord continue to give you both Peace in this difficult time but amazing JOY to soon see Jesus 'face to face,' Peter. God has certainly 'Got You' also Win and His sufficiency will be there for you moment by moment. My heart, however, will be in pain with you dear sister. We Love you both, Fred and Kaen Kay

Wes Shah Days we shall never forget! The Shahs

Wendy Ho I first met Peter Maiden at Pre Christmas camp in Seremban in 1980s. He was the resident speaker and I was one of the girl's team leader. I enjoyed his encouragement in the morning leaders' meeting and all his sermons. He is a very good bible teacher. I am very shy because many people went out to speak to him but I was unsure what I could talk to him about. His book "Take my silver" challenged me about stewardship and ministry. I joined OM in 1986 with FFA Coventry then OM France & Love Europe. I am in long term ministry in Southall since 1989 after volunteered in Logos II drydocking at Amsterdam for two weeks. The last few times I met him & Win were at Westiminister underground station during his summer holiday & farewell service to Logos II at Liverpool. He came and said hello and finding out how I was doing to my surprise. I respected and love the way how he walks & loves the Lord Jesus. Thank you Peter for setting an example for us to follow. God bless and give you quality & quantity time with your family. Farewell and we'll meet again in the heavenly shore. Shalom.

Meera Mahadevan Peter I am so thankful that our paths crossed. That I had the privilege of serving under your leadership. That season in my life remains a very precious memory. I learnt so much on servant leadership just by observing how you lived and led while in ICT Carlisle, 2005-2006. Peter, what amazed me about you was, in spite of your demanding schedule and load, you were always available and accessible. You never made me feel I was intruding on your time, anytime I had a question or needed to talk. I will always remember your humility and gentleness of spirit. Your humility humbled me. There was never a distance between you and the rest of us on the team. You truly lived and led by the "all are equal" and "every one matters" principle. You have been much in my thoughts and in my prayers since I first heard the news last year. I certainly look forward to seeing you again Peter .. in paradise .. If I can be a measure of the servant leader you were, that will be your legacy and my way of honouring your memory. With love from Malaysia

Dave McBride Dear Peter The first memory I have of you I think it was 1986 in Kathmandu, Nepal. You were in the country for meetings. Wayne & Shelagh Toews newborn daughter had just died and you officiated the funeral. I was always struck by how God centered and comforting that message was. It was an amazing ministry to all in the room. Your teaching is certainly a memorable trait of your ministry and even as I read your letters I can hear your voice! It seems small, but I learned how to chair meetings based on how you chaired many OM meetings I was in. You never let us get stuck but guided us forward. Your servant heart was seen by your eagerness to take the suitcases of new arrivals at the GO conference and help them to their room. A genuine humility pervades you. Your humor is legendary. ILMs and other conferences reflected the OM value of having fun. There are numerous skits I've seen you take part in, but I will never forget a conference at DeBron when you engaged in the spit that went around the world. So unexpected and so fun. You've left quite a legacy of humor, leadership, love, and wisdom. It is the depth of love for Jesus and the desire to know Him and be known by Him that stands above them all, and in fact, amplifies them all.

Iris Satterly Dear Peter and Win, so many memories - mainly and ILM's and GO conferences. It was a joy to journey with you and I loved seeing you sit at ILM's like on this picture or often on the floor in the back not wanting to be the center of attention. I remember many years of you taking time to share with the Joshua Journey participants, dear Peter. After a long and exhausting conference you took time to invest in our young leaders - thank you! Win, the many good chats by the pool or when running past each other or for a drink after a long day (see second pic) will be remembered... Or hosting us when visiting in the summer of 2017 in your lovely home in Kendal. Praying and loving you and looking forward to being reunited on the other side. with our Love Iris and John

Julie Grasman Long days in meetings, that made you go sleep (or course jet lag played a part), however we were very encouraged that you came all the way from the UK to be in our OM Latin America leaders meeting in Ecuador many years ago.

John Maiden For a city kid, being rowed into a lake and encouraged to jump in was probably the most exciting thing I had ever done. Just one of many great memories of spending time with you, uncle. When I was growing up, you were, despite your baldness, a very cool uncle. I can remember you driving up to the top of a multi-story car park, opening your boot, to get a signal on what emerged: a truly massive car phone. It was technology from the future. Even if it filled half the boot. You would, on the way back from extended Maiden family days out, jump out of the car 10 miles from home, give Auntie Win the wheel, and run home. Again...cool (a seed of aspiration was planted). Or dad would mention your travels abroad: ‘Peter is in Australia’, ‘Peter is in India’, ‘Peter is in Jamaica’, ‘Peter is in Aspatria’, or ‘we can’t tell you where Peter is....’ To have an uncle who travelled the world, doing something for God, was, again, very cool. In the last four years I got to know you in a different way, not only as my uncle, but as a guide in Christ. The experience of spending many hours with you - discussing highs and lows - always with your time and patience, has been a gift. You have shown us what an ‘evangelical’ (in the very best sense of the word) can be: conversionist and gracious; Biblicist and irenic; crucicentric but resurrection-minded ; activistic and always, always having time for anyone. A lover of Christ. With the fire of the Spirit in your heart. Thank you. Much love. John Maiden

James Devenish Dear Peter and Win - how we will always remember you with much gratitude and love. Thank you for always being there for us, for your strategic wisdom, your friendship, your love for the gospel and your love for mission. I always remember one chat walking through Keswick when you turned to me and said: " James, when was the last time you heard a really good sermon on heaven? We don't preach about heaven enough." I realise now you have been living that sermon - will see you there. Much Love James and Jutta

Tim Maiden Christmas 2019, all together thanks to a very generous friend

Joel Prior Grandad I always have and always will look up to you as an inspiration and role model. You have been a very important figure in my life and taught me many lessons. You have helped me countless times and I can't thank you enough. You and Grandma are two very special people and things won't be the same without you. I must say, you couldn't have picked a worse time. Wish I could give you a man hug. I also wish we could play the mop game one last time for old time sake. Enjoy the next few weeks, make the most of them. You are THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEDGEND

Mike Stachura Peter, So many God-orchestrated leadership encounters! Dating back to the mid-70's after Jorie and I joined the LOGOS ship, the 2nd ship team, DOULOS, etc. etc. I was so grateful for your compassionate wisdom in times of real testing. You provided wise counsel to our ship leadership teams during our historic "2 ships together in Belfast", reminding us that we were part of a larger community than just the ships. You counseled me in one of my more major decisions later in '85 to stay with the DOULOS as one of the directors or become the leader of STL-UK. You walked with me in the spiritual warfare crisis that was challenging the USA Board and staff team, just as I had come in as the President of OM-USA. You and I drafted (and then, due to illness in Dan's life as he battled Chrone's disease) I ended up giving the Biblical basis of fund-raising talk at an early 90's ILM meeting, one of the many policy and organizational changes that you were so vital in coaching, guiding, and advancing. Your friendship as one of my most trusted counselors and leaders meant the world to me. I am forever grateful to the Lord for having been a part of your life and ministry, my brother. Til we gather together around the Throne, together with every tribe, nation, and tongue... In HIS love and Grace, Mike and Jorie Stachura

Jonathan Lamb We are so grateful to you, Peter and Win, for your lovely friendship over so many years! We think there was an immediate affinity by virtue of the Cumbrian connection – Margaret is a fellow Cumbrian, and you kindly welcomed a southerner like Jonathan to join the party! We’ve also had much in common because we shared similar roots in being brought up in Brethren assemblies, amongst the Lord’s own people And we think we might have had very early contact at the Cumbrian Youth Camps at Bassenthwaite, when Margaret and I were students: we think Peter was speaking, and Jonathan was attempting to play the piano Then we have rejoiced in the fact that we have shared a vision for global mission – whether through OM or IFES or Langham. But probably our closest connections have arisen because of our work together at the Keswick Convention, and then through the wider activity within the Keswick movement in the UK and around the world. We have so appreciated this fellowship, Peter and Win! It has been hugely encouraging to have worked together in planning teams, always with a lovely sense of unity and shared vision. Then it has been a joy to work together in helping to run the Convention, whether sharing platforms or simply serving tea and coffee at early morning prayer meetings! Thank you for your companionship, good humour, patience, and wisdom! And as we have sought to develop the Keswick movement more widely, we have been really grateful for your willingness to travel around the UK, speaking at many small Keswick events in order to encourage them forward – so typical of your servant attitude in Christian ministry, which we very much appreciate. And it has been a great help to have advocates such as yourselves as we have tried to nurture the international fellowship of Conventions around the world. Thank you for your faithfulness in these areas too! At demanding times in our ministry, we have really appreciated your wise advice and prayeful support, and Jonathan has been specially grateful for those times when we have met in different parts of the country, sometimes with our friend Steve Brady, or with James and Jutta, for fellowship and mutual support. Thank you for your steady encouragement and prayerful solidarity! A while back we enjoyed a memorable trip with Wes and Carey, which gave us time to travel, to discuss, to relax and to visit some lovely places. Here is a photo taken at Chania, on Crete. And then we also attach a photo of your attempt to blend in with the Jewish worshippers in Jerusalem – your skull cap certainly fitted much better than Jonathan’s We are praying with and for you both every day, and we do so with concern for your present well-being, with gratitude for your wonderful friendship, teamwork and support, and with the certain hope of our fellowship extending into eternity, on that day when with you we will join together with God’s people from every generation and from every corner of the globe! What a day that will be! Amen, even so, Come Lord Jesus! God bless you richly, Peter and Win. With much love, warmest gratitude and wishing you God’s peace and sustaining grace, Jonathan and Margaret

Simon Overend Peter – we first met in 2004 when you interviewed me for a job with Keswick Ministries. I am grateful that I can call you and Win friends; you are also a role-model; a rock; a child of God, and so much more. It has been a joy and privilege to work with you (and learn from you) during your time as Chairman of the Trustees of Keswick Ministries, and Chair of the Programme Committee. You have also assisted Win and her wonderful creche team with a great sense of love, service, and humility. You have always been supportive, including during some really challenging times. You always make time for people; are always encouraging, and also willing to wisely challenge when appropriate. You exude the fruit of the spirit. Peter, we often recall your amusing anecdotes, and the way you tell them; often self-deprecating, and never critical – have you heard the one about the pink blouse; yesterday’s train that arrived before the next train; and the ladies whispering at the back of the church – “I wonder what God’s going to do today”. A few photos from my first Keswick Convention on the staff team in 2005 typify the man we know and love – preaching the word and the Lord he loves; and turning his hand in true humility to cleaning the toilets – which you did with other members of the speaker team – all one in Christ Jesus. I believe you once said your favourite – nonbiblical – quote is Martin Luther’s There are two days in my calendar: This day and that Day. You have truly sought to live everyday to the full and the service of our Lord. I always thank my God for you … Simon Overend

David Greenlee Dear Peter [Pictures: at the Rhein River gorge near Flims, 2013; during your holiday at John and Iris's family's place] Our first connection, as far as I remember, was September 1982 in Leuven. Vera Zabramski and I used Kees Rosies’ Osborne luggable computer to generate dozens of UK entry letters, all in your name, for OMers joining the year teams after the conference. At a summer campaign conference in the Netherlands in 1985 we had our first of dozens of long talks. I was interested in a role that was opening but felt that making my interest known would be taken as a disqualification. You disagreed and warmly encouraged me to express my interest. The move didn’t materialize, but your personal influence in my life (not just from the podium) was rooted there. In January 1987 following the Logos shipwreck, it was with trepidation that I called you on Dale Rhoton’s and Mike Poynor’s instructions—more than once—in the middle of your night about some urgent matter or other (‘Ask the board to declare the ship a constructive total loss’ still rings in my memory). As I write this I imagine the cheerful voice with which you always answer a phone call. But, how did you manage to always be so cheerful, even when I had just awakened you at 2 a.m.? In the years following you helped Vreni and me move into the North Africa leadership, then invited me to work with you in a role I still carry 22 years and 4 countries later. You opened doors, made connections, proffered invitations, provided funding, offered BIG tasks (generally starting with ‘this should only take a few hours…’), warmly commended, and when needed corrected. You were a model of godliness and a source of warm counsel. You trusted me and entrusted things to me, and you never broke my trust in you. And in all that, you enabled me to offer my best to OM and to the Lord. Perhaps you don’t have a choice about these things, unlike Paul who, late in life, told the Philippians that somehow he did have a choice. We would rather you stick around a while longer! And when you go we will miss you deeply. But we rejoice because being with Christ will be your incredible gain, the incredible prize of the upward call, the resurrection, the reason Christ Jesus grabbed hold of you and you him (Philippians 2:22-26; 3:12-14). Peter, together with Win you have had a profound impact on me and I am deeply grateful. David Greenlee

Freddie and Debbie Berg Peter....where do we start with memories?? Both you and Win have played a huge part in our lives. We started coming to Hebron in 2003 where we were invited to do the Christianity Explored course. You were one of the leaders and God used you to explain the gospel to us in such a clear way that I, Freddie came to faith and I, Debbie rediscovered mine. As a result of this we decided to get married, without delay, and obviously wanted you to lead the ceremony!! You had some oversees travel commitments but we managed to organise a date, and in a matter of weeks we became Mr & Mrs!! 17 years ago now! At the time we lived 30 minutes away so you and Win very kindly gave us a key to your home so we could use it as a base before church activities to save us travelling too much. That was incredibly generous and just made us feel an extended part of your family. One of Freddie's favourite memories of you is when you came to see us both in the hospital panto. Upon Freddie's entrance to the stage dressed as the Dame, you burst into a laughter that could be heard around the entire theatre!! You then went on to baptise us both, Deb when she was pregnant with our first child Ben. Deb remembers you saying at the time, 'this is a first, I've never baptised one and a half before!', but you also went on to dedicate Ben a year later. We've since caught up with you both at Keswick most years. On a couple of occasions, where we were going through particularly challenging times, you made yourself available for a cuppa and have given wise advice, support and prayer that carried us through. Thank you Peter, for all you have been to Team Berg...we love you x

Anna Putt Dearest Peter and Winn It is with such sadness and joy that I write this. Sadness at not being able to share any more of God's amazing works in this world with you, at you not being here to help guide and point us and so many to him. Sadness particularly for Winn unable to join you on your next big adventure just yet. Joy at the memories of you both. You have both been people I have looked up to for many years, such Godly examples of christian leadership, lives, marriage and service. Your humour and guiding hand has particularly helped when it came to hosting evening celebrations at the Keswick convention. I was so nervous at doing anything like that and your good humour and reassuring words put me at ease as you gently guided me through what was involved. It was also so helpful to see you get nervous before speaking and being willing to show your vulnerability and still serve has been a wonderful example to me. The great dinners we all shared in Green Gables will always be special, though I may be more likely to go with Winn's recommendations of the Grasmere gingerbread than Peter's routes for fell running! With warmest wishes Anna Putt

Julie and Richard Beaumont Peter and Win, Joining OM in 1981 has shaped our lives to this very day - we would like to say a big Thankyou to you both. In our early twenties and babes in our faith journey doing our apprenticeship on MV Logos and Doulos- yourselves and other leaders modeled servant hood , the power of prayer and leadership. Hard lessons to learn but so thankful for the opportunity to be part of an amazing ministry. Thankyou also for your love, support and encouragement during the 12 years that we served OM in Australia . You are loved and very much appreciated.May you feel the warmth of God’s comfort each day and enjoy his rich blessings. Our prayers are with you and your family. Enjoy the the pics I found xx much love, Julie , Richard, Matthew and Philip

Phil & Yvonne Halliwell Dearest Peter & Win, We have so many memories of you – stretching back years, like so many people who you have come into contact with and influenced during your life story. You are such a Godly couple and we have been so grateful for you, inspired by you and laterally, we have missed you. I (Yvonne) think back to my time in Newcastle – I attended the same church as your daughter – a strong Christian woman, and clearly her mother’s daughter :) So to come to Carlisle for my first job in 1995 and to happen to land at Hebron Evangelical Church on the night when you Peter were preaching about movements of the Holy Spirit bringing order not chaos…no coincidence. I had unanswered questions on that very topic and God used you Peter to speak to me and ultimately to keep us at Hebron and in Carlisle (I had intended to come to Carlisle for only a year!) I knew I was at a church where the gospel was central and God’s Word was preached. That was a major factor in why we chose Hebron as our family. You led the Dedication Service for each of our children Peter – thank-you for your involvement in each (picture May 2010 – Lexi’s dedication) They are all growing in God and following Him (recent picture overlooking Keswick). Those dedication services were all special times for friends and family as we as parents stood before God and said we would do our best to bring them up in Him. And we keep trying! Parenting is one of the biggest privileges and biggest journeys in life. Thank-you Win for helping in creche – we have many happy memories of leaving our little lad in the secure arms of you and Daph – how precious those early days in his life were to have been nurtured by you two ladies. And I can’t forget of course, that I had the pleasure of looking after your teeth for a number of years. It was always lovely to have a friendly face (and mouth) in my chair! Probably moreso for me than you! Your support of us both during our time as deacons is cherished – we remember many meetings and serving with Dan as our co-deacon. Thank-you for your encouragement when I led the church in worship through music. I remember you often chose the song “All I once held dear” – and the words are particularly meaningful at this time. “Knowing You Jesus, knowing You – there is no greater thing. You’re my all, You’re the best, You’re my joy, my righteousness – and I love You Lord!” And when it comes to your gift of speaking – I have many notebooks of Peter sermons – from both Hebron and Keswick. A true gift – what a privilege to have learnt from you. And we have several of your books on our shelves. In fact, Aaron started reading Discipleship this week! Thank-you for using your gifts to the full whilst here on earth. We will miss you greatly Peter – and we have been praying hard for you in these last months. What a wonderful family you have and they will go on in Jesus’ Name to be a blessing to others. I lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth…The Lord is thy keeper; the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. Psalm 121 v 1,2,5 Much love until we meet again – Phil, Yvonne, Aaron, Kayla & Lexi Halliwell

Richard Woods Hi Peter. Thanks for everything. Ephesians 1:16-21 I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

Philipp & Jeske Eschbach Dear Peter, Quite a few memories pop up in our mind, but one is outstanding. It was on the weekend of 24th/25th of September 2011 in Linz, Austria. We were celebrating 50 years of OM ministries in Austria. You spoke both during our OM Austria anniversary on Saturday and gave a sermon to all the evangelical churches of the Linz area in the same hall just the day after. While staying with us as family for the two nights, you did grapple with some pressing OM issues. Nevertheless you took the time to play a game with our youngest son after the event. Although having huge responsibilities and being a “V.I.P”, you were (and are) always just so humble and caring for us. So on Sunday morning, before leaving to the big gathering of the Linz churches, you did not only take off the sheets from your bed, you also asked us for a simple plastic bag to carry your bible and sermon notes up to the pulpit... Thank you for your wonderful example of being such a committed, God fearing and most humble servant leader. You made a huge impact on us as a family! Be blessed, Philipp & Jeske Eschbach

Henry Coulter Peter, ever since I first met you in 1986 you have challenged me to walk closely with God. It is not just your teaching; your life and godly leadership have had an incredible influence in my and Joanne's life. We will not forget your visit to Bangladesh in 2009 and the way you took time to meet with the team individually, praying and encouraging them. Your humility and godliness continues to impact those who had the privilege of meeting you. The second photo is with Hira, who has just taken over leadership of the OM Bangladesh team. Henry

Rebecca Barnhart I could repeat many of the wonderful, kind, true and honoring words said about Peter, but I want to focus on his funny side. Peter was involved in an elaborate practical joke played on me and included many in the OM family. To get it started, Peter and Win - yes, sweet, innocent, "Oh Petah" Win Maiden - entered into my Carlisle home while I was on a trip and removed 2 items, which were held captive. Clues and notes came in from friends around the world, and to my utter shock, it all pointed to Mr Peter Maiden as the culprit! I didn't believe it, even when Peter confessed. He then asked me if I was calling him a liar! The photo below is when Peter and Win returned the items! (Peter, I still believe Mr Mallon played a small part!) I visited the UK in August 2018 and had a short visit with Peter and Win, which I cherish. We had afternoon tea at Windermere and it was lovely, as always. Peter and Win, I love and treasure you both and so grateful the Lord led me to join ICT in 2008. Thank you for inviting me into your life, for your leadership and friendship, for the laughter, and for demonstrating integrity and faith in little and big ways. I know of few people who deserve to hear "well done, good and faithful servant," than you! Love and prayers from Kentucky. Becky Barnhart

Eve Maiden I love you grandad so much and you never failed to be persuaded in to playing mini golf with me😂! Yesterday I went round and you had your shirt back to front and inside out which reminded me of the time you came out of the caravan in Keswick asking if you looked alright because you were about to go on the big screens and the big tent but me and grandma just laughed because you were wearing grandma’s pink blouse, we will never forget! The other day when I was on a walk with mum and Jonah, mum and me were struggling to get up into the cave at Rydal and I remembered you helping us up with some sort of rope and grandma stressing about it, which we all know is not a rare occasion😂. I just hope that despite all this corona virus business I can spend some good time with you because you never fail to make me smile talking talking about the hilarious experiences in Keswick or the dinghy and grandma fiasco. Lots of love Eve xoxo

Kate Gray I thought I would come and work for a year as your PA but it turned into 5 years which says something about how much I enjoyed working with you Peter! Working in the office next to you, I saw how much you were in demand. Team members would often ask if you were in and were keen to catch you for a quick chat, a timely decision, confidential advice etc. Your door was always open and you readily made yourself available. You carried your mobile 24/7 and whenever it rang promptly answered “Peter Maiden” (Win was relieved when I arranged Bluetooth for your car!) I enjoyed typing your dictated letters as they were always clear and concise, as was your writing. I recall you receiving many speaking invitations and seldom did you decline (often offering an alternate date if you couldn’t attend) - somehow Peter you fitted everything in! Occasionally I travelled with you and Win. You would offer to collect me and pick up my bags and pack them in the car. I have memories of you laden with luggage leading the way as we walked through airport terminals - Win and I in tow! You would often be humming a tune and always confident of what you were doing. I remember we nearly missed a flight on one occasion but you remained calm as always. When I think of you, I think of your family, as they are a big part of your life. If Win stopped by the office, it was quite possible a coffee down the street was on the cards. I remember Dan often calling in to see you too. You and Win welcomed me into your home and lives. You were always hospitable and generous and I have fond memories of going to your home after church for a Sunday roast, joining you down the street for a pizza and staying at your house for Christmas. One Christmas time, I remember you getting pinned by a Christmas tree twice your height as you dutifully followed Win’s directions trying to put it up (there was nothing you wouldn’t do for Win!) A couple of years after returning to Australia, I got engaged (to another Peter!) and asked if you would take the wedding service. I thought it quite unlikely however both you and Win made the effort to travel all the way to Perth and it was very special to have you speak at our wedding. Thank you Peter (and Win) for your friendship. It has been a privilege to work with you and learn from you. You have served God faithfully and wholeheartedly with the gifts He has given you. God bless you Peter.

Harold Archer Harold and June Archer. Which memories to share from a close and very dear friendship which goes back over 50 years? We first met in the late sixties, as couples, via the very active Y.M.C.A. and local Christian contacts. This ‘photo was taken as we (struggled?) to set up a camp somewhere in the Lake District in (I think) the early seventies. They show Peter being ‘supported’ as he demonstrated previously hidden practical skills with Win smiling broadly, and with possible unbelief? Happy times! The gift of children, changes in employment, places of residence and the growth of Peter’s ministry led to less contact between us but the depth of friendship remained and continued to blossom whenever we were able to visit each other’s homes. On our return to Carlisle, and as our daughter’s grew, the obvious decision to join Hebron Church was made. The friendship we enjoyed with Win and Peter helped us settle into the fellowship and, in due course, his wisdom and guidance were invaluable when I was invited to join the Eldership. Despite his many responsibilities, very full schedules and intense preaching commitments he has ALWAYS found time to meet, discuss, counsel and advise those who seek his help and I include myself in that number! My constant prayer has been for his healing! That he can remain with us and continue to be a true friend. That his wisdom and knowledge can continue to be shared. Yet again however, his example teaches us so much. Not my will O Lord! Only Yours!

Donald and Elspeth Mackay Dear Peter and Win Just saying your names brings back so many happy memories of both of you. On Donald’s first visit to Hebron Evangelical Church in Carlisle when new to the city, he was welcomed by Peter and immediately asked to go to the pre-service prayer meeting! That was the start of our time as part of the Hebron family and we are still here 32 years later. We had the privilege of hearing you preach God’s Word, being part of the church family and serving with you for so many of those years. As we chatted about memories of both of you, so many things came to mind: Peter’s Godly wisdom and humble servant leadership; the privilege of serving with you in church leadership; YP evenings at Chiswick Street with the roaring log fire; the grace both of you showed towards YP leaders when the Maiden children were injured or became ill at YP weekends away; Christmas Day mornings at church with quizzes and sweets; Win and Daph caring for our girls at creche; the joy of seeing your grandchildren and our children playing together at Keswick; your smiles, laughter and sense of mischief. Thank you for the example you have been to so many of us for so many years. You have been an exemplary example of what commitment to God, your family and to a local church family looks like. Till we meet again. Love Donald, Elspeth, Seona and Heather Mackay

Tracy Ann Shalom Peter and Win, Great Memories of having you in Israel 20 years ago in 2000 and in 2009. What a stamp you have left on my heart especially in 2009 when JG's father went HOME. You both parented us team well at that time. This special olive tree overlooks the 'old Jerusalem'. I look forwards to meeting you again in the New Jerusalem my dear brother. My favorite verse is Romans 8:28 "All things work together for good to those who love God" Blessings from Jerusalem, Tracy (deaf in IL)

Brian Maiden Here are some early photos to illustrate my previous memories. Peter before he removed me from my cot; as a football star in the back yard; when he had hair. Brian Maiden

Heike & Tobias Schultz Dear Peter, dear Win, the above picture was probably taken 1997, when both of you visited us in Cairo. By then, we had lived about 9 years among the poor, “invisible” to most in the OM world - and to get a visit from you as international leaders meant a lot to us. Later, others told us that you had talked about this visit as a big encouragement for you - and you most definitely encouraged us! Peter, we will remember you as a deeply humble leader whose words and life fit together in complete integrity. A powerful teacher of the Bible - and the reality of a life lived accordingly. We so much wish that when it is our time, we can live the last phase of our lives in such an honorable way as you do it! With deep respect and appreciation, Heike and Tobias

Daph, Dave, Jo & Anth Rudd Dear Peter & Win, Thirty plus years ago, we knew you both but had never met you, but God was about to change that in a big way: One Sunday evening in September 1989, my three children & myself very cautiously entered Hebron church as we were desperate to find a church that would welcome us so that our children could grow up with a Christian family. As you know, my Christian life had been non existant for a while, but for ten years I had been looking for a church that would welcome us. As we walked in that night, we were warmly welcomed by many but especially by Win and yourself. Dave followed after you and the elders sent a warm and loving letter to him, & our family felt secure & loved as we found our spiritual home. To cut a long story short, we spent the next thirty years there. Win and I immediately became inseperable and spent many happy hours together when both you, Peter, and Dave were away working. We could write a book about Cumbrian coffee shops!! I started helping you and Win in your Hebron Om office then sometime later at the offices in Lonsdale st. This led to Anth and I helping at Debron in the creche. Peter & Win, in all honesty, you have both been there for us, through trial, through sadness, & through the happy times. Jo & Anth look on you as their second Mum & Dad. The joy we have of so many happy times, like the time you baptized our three children, the family weddings, or our keswick holiday at the convention for twenty five years, usually side by side, the fish and chip suppers in the Kingfisher chippy, the birthday celebrations with the children. We could go on but needless to say, we all love you both & your wonderful family to the moon and back. Peter, We're not going to talk about what's on our hearts but just to say, we will be there for Win whenever she needs us, & (even when she doesn't). You have a wonderful family who will care for their mum like no other could. Be proud Peter & Win, of Tim, Becks, Dan & families. They're walking close to God & the love for you both, shines out from them. I've added some photos to remind you of the time you spent helping our Dan. He loves you both so much. Dear Peter, if we dont see you before Glory, we will certainly be praying for you and Win, that you will know the love that only He can give. Rest in Him, rest in His love & know that He will never leave you Until we see Him face to face in glory Our heartfelt love for you all in Jesus name Daph, Dave, Jo & Anth xxxxx

Pam Wilson Dear Peter and Win, Well, most of my photos are in a country I can't enter, so this one from my laptop will have to do! It serves as a reminder of many enjoyable IEC meetings and also those less enjoyable as we wrestled with some very serious issues in those days. In each one, you led with godliness, grace and courage. You were always so inclusive of those of us who were new to the IEC and gave equal weight and consideration of all of our views. But far more important to me has been the friendship with you and Win, times visiting your home or trailer, cups of tea and times of laughter. I remember 2003 when Peter, Rodney and I were the committee to organise the event at Keswick, but I was diagnosed myself with cancer shortly beforehand and could not attend. You had so many people - even the entire conference - praying for me. I'm grateful for your prayers and have been committed to intercede for you this past year - and will keep on doing it! Your times are in His hands. And until then, good on Tim for giving us this opportunity to tell you now how much we love you and assure you of the eternal impact of your lives. I believe you will hear what I long to hear: "Well done, Peter, my good and faithful servant! I've been able to do everything I wanted to do through your life." With much love, Pam (and Dave, too)

Rosa-Maria Meister Dear Peter, it has always been a special privilege to sit at your feet and listen how you opened the word of God all these years. Two outstanding occasions are still so vivid in my memory. At my first retreat in the AP you shared about Revelation. You encouraged us to lean back and look at the whole book like we would sit in a 3D-cinema. This is what I still try to do up to today – Thank you! The other one was that I had prayed for time of restoration. I needed refreshment on body, spirit, and soul. Friends had invited me for the first time (and guess only one) down to Australia. What a GOD we have – I know I cried and was so overwhelmed when I heard that you will teach at Belgrave Heights Convention. I could not have imagined a better teacher for me in that season. I really came out of the desert and you shared the LIVING WATER so touching and refreshing. A big THANK you again!!! You, dear Win and your family are in my prayers. With Love, Rosa-Maria Meister

Becky Prior What a guy so loving to everyone in the family and so happy to have so many good memories with u along the way! One of them being Old Hartley, trying to park the caravan on the steep slope then going out to watch the birds I loved how much u knew about them and how amazing they looked flying over the sea. How humble, giving up your retirement money to go to Disney land Paris. Going on the tower of terror and space mountain, crazy! THE MOP GAME! Seeing us all scattering round the big Carlisle house chasing us with a mop (what a game) But I will always remember yesterday you saying to me “don’t get cancer unless you have too” keeping your humour and compassion thank you so much love ya always Faith xx

Steven Braithwaite "I thank my God always when I remember you in my prayers, because I hear of your love and of the faith that you have toward the Lord Jesus and for all the saints..." Dear Peter and Win, and the whole family, I don't use social media very much, nor am I a prolific selfie-taker, but I'm glad I took this picture of you and I Peter. You and Win were in Perth WA for an OM dinner event on 23 November 2011. Sarah and I ended up on a table with you both. It was a real joy to spend a little time with you both then. Legacy is an overly used word these days, but it is appropriate and true to say that you have created a Godly legacy in me, and Sarah, and our family. Praying for me at my baptism. Serving with you as an elder and experiencing the God-given wisdom with which you led. Despite the international nature of your work with OM, the local church was always a priority - even regularly speaking at Hesket Newmarket! Your marriage and how you both worked out life together, as a biblical demonstration of God's plan for this momentary marriage. I know that those at TCF will always be grateful for your faithful support over the years. Thank you. Philippians 1 typifies your approach to life and to service for God; To Live is Christ. "for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance, as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death. 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." We continue to remember you in our prayers. That you would be spared of pain, for His peace, for special times together. Grace and peace to you all. Steve, Sarah, Hanna, Mairi & Xanthe XXxxx

Lily Maiden The best times ❤️

kate Register Hi Peter and Win, Both Kate and I carry extremely fond memories of our times with you both; and Peter – for me (Jonathan) it was a great joy working with you over so many years. We very much appreciate your wisdom, your friendship, times of laughter, times of support, and times of prayer. I remember working out that you both enjoyed a little G&T and, when appropriate, from then on we would make sure to bring tonic water, a small bottle of gin and a lemon so refreshments were available as needed. Special memories include 3 amazing days together at Hua Hin before an ILM in Bangkok at an amazing resort with private swimming pools at each unit, long walks and talks down the beach. I (Jonathan) remember the first time I visited your home in Carlisle to talk about doing ILM together, being amazed at how relaxed and calm you always seemed to be. I remember the year you gave me a massive garland of flowers publicly for running the ILM and the year you gave me the book on “How to Organise a Conference”. Hilarious. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip you both did to Australia, and poor Win got soooo sick and we had to fly from city to city, carrying ‘throw-up bags’ kindly provided by the airline. And more recently, we remember breakfasts with you both in the beautiful conservatory at the back of the house with all the glass, visiting the static, going for long walks by beautiful Lake Windermere, collecting the glasses I left at the pub, good food, good fellowship and talking about life, family and all that has gone on. Win thought it so funny that we were planning a visit to Port Patrick – a very much overlooked ‘must-visit’ in Scotland! It was so much fun having New Year’s Eve with just you Peter, and the God Squad as we played truant from a conference… It has been a wonderful privilege to have been a small part of your lives and we have loved every minute of our friendship. On 18th June, I celebrated 13 years since my oesophagectomy. We well recall your care and concern and when you all prayed for me (Jonathan) at ILM in South Africa. Our times together have been too few, but we wanted you to know how very much we respect you and how much joy you have brought to our lives. With much love to you both, Jonathan and Kate

Anne Marit Viljoen Dear friends, We have many good memories from working with Peter in the OM International office on Lonsdale street in Carlisle, as well as listening to his great Bible teaching at OM conferences. Most of all, we appreciate your friendship. When we stayed in Seoul, South Korea for two years (1998-2000), you two came to visit the team and Peter was to preach in the SaRang church. To us, it was like a visit from home and we just loved seeing you again. With great joy (?!) Peter and Win took some dried octopus and other snacks back to the team in Carlisle. Somehow, we later learned that the squid was hung outside of the window in the office and Win had to air out her suitcase for a week 😊 With all our love, Alwyn & Anne Marit Viljoen
