Adam Algam is an American-born dentist with a heart for unreached people groups in the Middle East. He first committed his life to foreign missions during dental school after going on a short-term dental mission trip. Ready to embark on overseas service after graduation, he and his wife, Grace, were surprised to learn that they had been turned down by a mission organization—informed he didn’t yet have enough experience in his profession. They decided not to fight this initial denial of their plans but to see it as direction from the Lord. After much soul searching and prayer, the pair decided Adam should pursue further studies in orthodontics but keep active in general dentistry by working at various non-profit organizations in order to gain experience working with internationals. After a few years, the door finally opened for Adam, Grace and their three children to move to the Middle East. Dr. Algam has been active in Middle East mission work for fifteen years.
