"...you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe
and language and people and nation."
Revelations 5:9 beautifully summarizes Gods desire for all people to be part of his
family. In order for that to occur, His Church must obey his command and "...disciple
all nations"(Mathew 28). Therefore, His Church must preach the Gospel to all the
unreached people groups of the world.
What is Adopt-A-People?
"Adopt-A-People (AAP) is a practical way for one or more churches, working together through
a mission agency, to help reach one of the remaining unreached peoples. (Mission agencies,
of course, will help reach many different peoples in conjunction with thousands of churches.)
The adopting church supplies-as they are able-the resources mission agencies need: prayer,
financial support and people. The mission agency supplies what most churches lack: the structures,
strategies and "know how" necessary to effectively reach an unreached people group." -

What does it mean to "Adopt-A-People" group?
"It means that a church congregation or fellowship group makes a serious commitment to do all
they can to reach their adopted people group by working in partnership with the mission agency
of their choice. All adopting churches agree to provide informed, concerted prayer for their people.
Depending on the mission agency chosen, a church may also be asked to help fund the effort to reach
their people or supply personnel to help reach them." - uscwm.org
