Dr. Alfred Adams
Teaching from his book Nearing Midnight, Dr. Adams' dynamic approach and in-depth study truly brings the Word of God to his audience. His bold and attractive visual teaching style stems from years of experience in the music industry. In 1992, Dr. Adams toured with some of the biggest rock bands in the world. Bands such as Guns-n-Roses, Metallica, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chill Peppers, Sound Garden, Peter Frampton, and Ice Cube, to name just a few. He also worked at Paisley Park Studios (Prince's studio) as an intern sound engineer. Making use of the wealth of skills he learned in music industry, Dr. Adams fine-tunes his teachings with sixty-inch screens that display the book of Revelation chapter by chapter in order to take his audience on a complete journey.
Dr. Adams' experiences also took him to the realm of banking from 1997 until 2004, linking projects that sought capital with the best interest rates from investors around the world. He was nominated for the Ernst & Young award two years in a row. His sponsorship came from a financial consultant of Merrill Lynch. Later, his business volume earned recognition that found him featured in CNN Money and US NEWS.
With the death of his fiancé to suicide, after she lost both of her parents and a brother in a quick series of events, Dr. Adams began a study of biblical prophecy that has reshaped his life in an irreversible way. He knew that faith, hope, peace, and most of all love were essential to the Bible.
In the wake of his father's death in 2004, Dr. Adams wrote Nearing Midnight, sold off the banking business, and is now steadfastly committed to do the works that the Lord has led him to do. The book, Nearing Midnight, is published in fifteen countries and in ten different languages. The web site, www.nearingmidnight.com, is the only Christian web site translated instantly into twenty-five different languages. The site is the hub for Nearing Midnight Radio hosted by Dr. Adams, and the Nearing Midnight online magazine. Dr. Adams also co-hosted the Nearing Midnight TV show, which illuminated world events with the light of biblical prophecy. The show aired in the Lafayette area to 500,000 households. The Nearing Midnight TV show was a great stepping stone for Dr. Adams to be able to become the supporting host for the television show Keys to the Word, which airs in the Greater New Orleans area to one million households on UPN/WB. Dr. Adams received an Honorary Degree of Doctor of Ministry from Cornerstone Christian College based in Lafayette, Louisiana. He was made an Honorary Louisiana State Representative by Robert Faucheux, Jr. in September 2006. In November 2006, Dr. Adams was also made an Honorary Louisiana State Senator by Louisiana State Senator, Nick Gautreaux. He was made an Honorary Military Police Officer of the Directorate of Emergency Services, Ft. Benning, Georgia in May 2007. These rare awards of honorariums from both houses and from Ft. Benning are testament of Dr. Adams’ works. The sequel book, Nearing Midnight II, is now out in stores and a three-part feature film is also in the writing phase.
Dr. Adams is working on a documentary film now.
