Shirley Adams

North & Central America and the Caribbean Regional Director

Northern Minnesota was Shirley Adams’ home for the first 10 years of her life. Born into a wonderful Christian family, she realized as a child her need to be reconciled with God through the sacrifice of Christ and responded. It was not until high school that she gained the assurance of her salvation and was baptized.

Her parents moved their six children to Arizona for the specific purpose of providing Christian Education for each one. While in high school her church youth sponsor led a group of young people on a trip to Mexico. This led her to surrender and a newfound trust in the Lord’s plan for her life. While being a missionary had never been of any interest to her before, the Lord opened her heart to this very possibility and it was only a couple years later that she was in Mexico serving as a missionary. She has now completed forty years in Mexico and testifies that He indeed does “beyond what we could ever ask or think."

It was through Shirley’s sister who is a CBS Teaching Director in Wichita, Kansas, that she became acquainted with the ministry of Community Bible Study International in 2002. Shortly after being trained for the ministry she began a class in Guadalajara, Mexico. Subsequently she was invited to served as the Mexico National Director, then also as Area Regional Director for Spanish-speaking countries. In 2010, she accepted the call to become the CBSI Regional Director for North & Central America and the Caribbean. She considers it a privilege to serve in this godly ministry and to be a part of what God is doing to bring a people unto himself in this region.

Three married children, two daughters and a son, along with their husbands and wife, and a total of five grandchildren are the joy and blessing of her life
