Meet Adam

Adam follows Jesus Christ by helping others. One time at school, his classmate didn’t have any lunch. Adam decided to share his lunch with him. He says, “I felt happy because I got to help someone, like Jesus did.”

Adam also follows Jesus by praying. He recently ran for president of his student council at school. He prayed and asked Heavenly Father to help him be happy with any result in the election. “I didn’t win, but I know the Lord has better plans for me,” Adam says.
