Our name

ADAM Ministries

ADAM Ministries, Inc. — a division of Adam Origin Group, LLC

The family ministry of Andre and Bobbie van Zyl — Bible stories, verses, activities and coloring books written and drawn for children aged one to six.

Our mission

To put the Word of God into the hands of the youngest children — one clear story, one verse and one page they can colour at a time — so that a child knows Scripture before they can read it.

We started because the lessons were good but the artwork wandered. A character would change face, age or outfit from one page to the next, and small children notice. So we built a studio that locks the look: a reference sheet per character, a standard per age band, and a printable book at the end of it. The stories stay Bobbie's, word for word. Only the drawing is remade.

“Let the little children come to me.” — Matthew 19:14

What we hold to

The Word first

Every story is Scripture retold plainly, with the verse printed on the page. The words come before the pictures, and they are never softened to fit 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 in slowly.

One locked look

Faces, outfits, line weight and margins live in a versioned standard with a reference sheet per character, so Noah looks like Noah in every book.

A family, not a factory

Bobbie writes and draws, Andre builds and prints. Nothing goes out of the studio until one of us has looked at it and said yes.

The ADAM brand kit

Eight printable sheets: the mark with its clear space and smallest print sizes, our five sticker colours with print numbers, what to do and never do with the mark, a print-and-cut sticker sheet, a colour-in page and name badges for a class.

Our story books

Real printable colouring books, made in the studio from Bobbie's own drawings. Every book comes two ways: loose sheets to print at 100% on 8.5 × 11 paper, or a folded book layout with a wrap-around cover and a spine, ready for a print shop.
