Eternity

Rooted in Christ, Sharing True Hope

While Adera provides educational and economic support, our deepest desire is to offer lasting hope through the gospel of Jesus Christ. We long to see Adera families and staff grow in their love for God and their knowledge of His Word. Every program we offer is woven with this eternal purpose.

Daily Discipleship

In the daycare, children hear Bible stories, learn songs of faith, and pray together each day. Our staff gathers weekly for Bible study and covers the children—and each other—in prayer.

Growing Young Hearts

From weekly Girls’ and Boys’ Clubs to Saturday Sabbath School, students learn God’s character and wrestle with life’s challenges through the lens of Scripture. They discover that the Lord is not confined to a building but walks with them every moment.

Walking Alongside Families

Home visits create space for one-on-one conversations about the love of Christ. Moms’ and fathers’ dinners point parents to the truth found only in God’s Word, encouraging them to read and study for themselves. For mothers who are illiterate—or for those who must be discreet about their faith—Adera provides solar-powered audio Bibles with earbuds, offering safe and personal access to Scripture.

Celebrating God’s Story

Religious holidays become joyful opportunities to honor the one true God together. We also partner with trusted ministries such as Child Evangelism Fellowship (for week-long Bible clubs and teacher training) and OneHope to provide excellent Bible resources for both students and parents.

Eternal Impact

Everything Adera does is wrapped in the truth of the gospel. We believe that education and economic help bring stability, but only Christ brings transformation that lasts for eternity.
