Against The Odds

MEET ADAM. Born and raised in the Solomon Islands. Adam was born into severe poverty and given little odds for a bright future. Raised by parents with opposite views to raising a family. The Christian heritage of his mother was at odds with the lifestyle of his father that put him at risk of gang, drugs, crime and tribal wars. Desperate to see her son live a different life than the one predicted, his Mother sacrificed everything to send him to school in Australia to become a missionary. Arriving in Brisbane an uneducated teenager and unable to speak the language, Adam went on a steep learning curve with a determination to make a different life. Finally finding his wife, having his family, developing a new life in a new country and eventually becoming the missionary his mother always longed for. Together with his wife Lauren they established Zoe Global Ministries that provides running water and builds wells in underprivileged nations. A mission that’s sent him back to his routes in the Solomon Islands. His mothers sacrifice is now literally saving the world. An inspiring and true story of how sacrifice, courage, determination and faith can help you beat the odds when a few miracles are thrown in.
