Adeye Salem
Anthony and Adéye met on the mission field in South Africa. Their lives were forever changed in 2006 when they traveled to China to adopt their first daughter with special needs. They returned to America with the faces of the children they left behind forever etched in their memories. With that came an urgency to be a voice, to fight for the cause of the ones who had none. The Salems are exceedingly blessed with nine children. Anthony serves as a hospice chaplain and Adéye homeschools their children and advocates for orphans in desperate situations. The cry of their hearts is always the same, “Break our hearts for the things that break yours, Father!”
