Bio: Robert & Roberta Adair

Background Information:

ROBERTA was born in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania. After graduating from Penn State University she served for three years in Kosovo with The Christian & Missionary Alliance. After completing her term she enrolled in Wheaton College for additional studies in missions.

ROBERT was raised in Texas and is a graduate of Texas A&M University. From 2005-2009 he served in southern Japan with A3. Like Roberta, he returned to the States to study missions at Wheaton College in 2009, which is where their paths converged.

After meeting, dating, and getting married, Robert and Roberta discerned that God was leading them back to Japan with A3. They are currently in Japan through a strategic partnership between A3 and SIM designed to leverage the strengths of both agencies to reach Japanese people and strengthen the Japanese church more effectively.
