ADAM Ministries mark

About us

A family ministry, a kitchen table, and a very large box of crayons.

ADAM Ministries is the work of Andre and Bobbie van Zyl. Bobbie writes and draws; Andre builds the studio that keeps every page consistent. Together we make Bible stories small children can hold, colour and remember.

The Word first

Every book is Scripture retold plainly with the verse printed on the page. The words come before the pictures and are never softened to suit a drawing.

Made for ages 1 to 6

Three levels of detail — 1-2, 3-4 and 5-6 — so a toddler gets thick simple shapes and a six-year-old gets a scene worth colouring slowly.

One locked look

Faces, outfits, line weight and margins live in a versioned standard, so Noah looks like Noah on every page of every book.

Yours to print

Buy a title once and it is a print-ready PDF forever. Print it for one child, a classroom or a whole Sunday school.

Where the books come from

Every title is made in our own studio: Bobbie's story is read word for word, her characters are locked to a reference sheet, and each page is drawn to the same standard before it is ever printed or sold.
