Pastor Adam Shank with family

Hello, my name is Adam Shank and I am blessed to serve North Lima Mennonite Church
as the senior pastor.  My primary role is preaching and prayer.  One of my greatest joys
in ministry is to see people changed by God’s life-giving Word.

I am also blessed to work with an International Bible Translation Organization as a translation
consultant.  I assist multiple translation teams by helping them make their translations of God’s
Word more accurate, clear, and natural.  One of my greatest joys as a translation consultant is to
make God’s Word available to people who have never had the opportunity to hear or read the
Bible for themselves.

I’ve also been blessed with the opportunity to receive a B.A. in Biblical Studies, study graduate
level linguistics, and receive a Master of Theological Studies.  I’ve also had the unique opportunity
to study 3 different languages on three different continents: French in France, Hebrew in Israel,
and an African language in Africa!

When I’m not engaged in pastoral or translational work, I’m usually doing something with my
family like playing on our farm, tending our cattle, chickens, and dogs, building or fixing
something, hunting or fishing, or simply enjoying God’s great outdoors.
