Myra is also the Executive Director of SignFromGod.org, the foundation of which the National Shroud of Turin Exhibit is its premier project. This ministry foundation began in November 2017 to promote education about the Shroud of Turin. Starting in May 2018, Myra and the SignFromGod team tirelessly spearheaded the effort to convince the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., to host a high-tech exhibit about the Shroud, which culminated in its opening on February 26, 2022.  Shown below: Myra Kahn Adams at the Museum of the Bible's Shroud speakers event, July 16, 2022.

Our Washington, D.C. news conference generated numerous articles in publications across Catholic media such as Catholic News Service. The Catholic Register-International Edition and Catholic Review were widely reposted. On February 12, Myra's Townhall.com Shroud Challenge article was picked up on RealClearReligion and reposted on RealClearPolitics.com. The piece remained on RealClearReligion's "Most Read Last 7 Days" list for a week. 

In March 2023, the National Shroud of Turin Exhibit opened its first mini-exhibit at the Catholic Information Center (CIC) in downtown Washington, DC. The grand opening event of a life-sized Shroud replica was on March 28, 2023. A Supreme Court Justice attended the event.

Since 1997, Myra has been keenly interested in the Shroud of Turin. She and her husband, David, were blessed to see it in Turin, Italy, during its last two public exhibitions in 2010 and 2015.

Myra was born and raised Jewish (maiden name Kahn) and came to faith in Christ in 1975. She believes that the Shroud is physical evidence left by God to show proof of Christ’s suffering and resurrection to those who need physical evidence in order to believe that Jesus Christ is the Jewish Messiah, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.

Aside from her passion for promoting Shroud of Turin education and producing a permanent Shroud of Turin exhibit in Washington, D.C., Myra is a nationally known religious and political writer — her “second career” — after spending decades in advertising and later as a video production company owner in the Washington, D.C. area.

She currently writes a popular weekly Sunday Bible study series on Townhall.com that started in Feb. 2020. Encouraged by Townhall readers, the studies were compiled into two books, “Bible Study For Those Who Don’t Read The Bible” and Part 2, with the same title.

Myra has written extensively about the Shroud of Turin, notably an op-ed headlined: Shroud of Turin Exhibit at Museum of the Bible – Why You Should Visit. And, for Myra's 100th Townhall Bible study, she featured the Shroud with quotes from the Museum of the Bible’s curators: A Quick, Compelling Bible Study Vol. 100: What the Bible Says About Christ’s Burial Shroud.

On the secular side, Myra Adams is a regular opinion contributor to The Hill — an influential political news site. Additionally, her credits include being a long-time contributor to Real Clear Politics, National Review, and Washington Examiner, to name a few.
