Dave Adamson
After nearly a decade as a TV reporter at one of Australia’s top sports networks, Dave Adamson moved with his family to the United States in 2008 to lead online communities at two of Outreach Magazine’s largest churches in North America. In 2013, he became the social media and online pastor at Andy Stanley’s North Point Ministries in Atlanta, leading and hosting live-streamed services that reached more than 80,000 people every week and more than 1.5 million people per month via podcast, YouTube, and social media.
Dave, who recently repatriated to Australia, is an international renowned photographer, author, content creator and communicator, who specializes in helping ministries to leverage technology to engage and connect with the next generation. He also teaches on the cultural context of the Bible—a topic he has covered in two books; Chasing The Light and 52 Hebrew Words Every Christian Should Know.
He is the Director of Orange Australia and New Zealand, a church strategy organization that provides resources, training and conferences to more than 10,000 churches around the world, and is also the Creative Director of IsraelU, a faith-based non-profit located in Jerusalem that is dedicated to helping Jesus followers understand the Bible through 5-minute devotional videos that unpack the Jewish context of the Bible.
In his spare time, Dave teaches daily devotions to more than 100,000 people on his Instagram and TikTok accounts, has written reading plans for the team at YouVersion that have been completed by more than half a million people, and reaches hundreds of thousands of people via his YouTube channel each month.
