My name is Adam, and I serve with FOCUS Military Ministry, walking alongside young men and women as they begin their journey in the Australian Defence Force. I grew up in northeast Victoria and came to trust in Jesus at the age of nineteen. Over the years, I’ve trained in ministry through a Ministry Apprenticeship and study at Moore College, and I’ve served in churches and university student ministry. Now, I am excited to bring this experience to support recruits and trainees as they find their feet, build resilience, and grow in their faith and character.

Our ministry is simple and personal: we invest in people. I spend my time listening, mentoring, opening the Bible with those who are keen, and providing a steady presence during some of the most formative years of their lives. Whether it’s meeting on campus, grabbing a coffee after class, or helping a trainee adjust to military life, my role is to be someone they can trust—someone who reminds them they’re not alone.

This work happens through meaningful conversations, building relationships, and being present in the lives of those who are preparing to serve our nation. As a small team, we rely heavily on prayer and encouragement from those who care about the spiritual well-being of Defence members. Your prayers genuinely shape the work—military life can change quickly, and wisdom is essential.

To keep serving in this space, I also depend on a team of financial partners who believe in what we’re doing and want to make a tangible difference in the lives of recruits and trainees. Partnering with me enables time on campus, resources for training and discipleship, and the capacity to be present where it matters most. If you choose to stand with me—through prayer, giving, or both—please know it makes a real and lasting impact.

Thank you for considering partnering with me as we support the next generation of ADF personnel.

Adam
