Matthew and Miranda Adams

Mat & Miranda founded and oversee Ascribe & Declare which has several ministries under its wings:

• Kingdom Fellowship Training: Theological education
• Lalistu Christian School: Community development, education
• Aravah Discipleship School: Internship & missions training
• Child Sponsorship: Partnered closely with Community Transformation Ethiopia and Hope In View
• A&D Publishing: Christian literature & media

Ascribe And Declare seeks to fulfill the Great Commission, Great Commandments, and Cultural Mandate in Ethiopia by preaching the Word of God, teaching them how to obey Christ in every area of life, and caring for people’s physical needs—thus, attending to the whole person—primarily through training pastors to lead, feed, know, and protect their sheep and teaching their flocks to take dominion for Christ in all areas of life and society.

Our holistic ministry vision is rooted in the biblical conviction that God’s Kingdom extends over all things spiritual and physical. Evangelism is not done at the expense of good works, rather they are two sides of the same coin. As a family, we are heeding our King’s call to take dominion of every sphere on earth for Christ. We believe the Christian mandates are more than spiritual and encompass all of life—from the heart outward to society and ultimately affecting all things. We believe that, because the Messiah has authority over the earth (not Satan) and the Spirit has come, the gospel will succeed in the world and God’s glory will extend throughout the earth as the water covers the seas.

About

Mat and Miranda are passionate followers of Jesus on a mission to ascribe God the glory due his name and declare his marvelous works to all the nations. In 2012, the Adams were sent out from their local church as missionaries for almost 3 years in Busi, Tanzania, a Muslim unreached people group. Their ministry consisted of sharing the gospel, planting a library and kindergarten, and training pastors. From 2019-2023, Mat served as an International Trainer with Training Leaders International, traveling overseas to train pastors in a modular setting primarily in Ethiopia. In 2023, he received a BA in Global Studies and an MA in Theology from Bethlehem College & Seminary.

Mat and Miranda are looking forward to serving the people of Ethiopia by training pastors, church planting, and ministering among the poor. They have six incredible daughters and live in Ambo, Ethiopia.
