What This Is About
People Group Adoption connects you with the mission work happening among Frontier People Groups.
This is more than signing up to pray for a few months. It's a sustained commitment to see real progress toward the gospel among Frontier People Groups.
Your adoption includes:
- Information about barriers to the gospel
- Progress reports from the ground (when available)
- Prayer guidance
- Partnership opportunities with organizations and networks
Not all of these are available for each FPG.
people live in communities where the gospel has barely reached
The Reality
These are Frontier People Groups. They have almost no believers, likely no churches, and often have little access to Scripture in their language.
Some of these groups have organizations and networks working among them. Many are still waiting.
When you adopt a Frontier People Group: You pray for them consistently. You explore ways to support the work.
This platform exists to close the gap between people who want to help and teams doing the work.
The ADOPT Framework
The Adoption Process is summarized with the acrostic ADOPT.
How It Works
Choose Your People Group. Select which Frontier People Group(s) you want to adopt. Let us know who you have adopted so we can assist in the process.
We Check for Active Work. If an organization or network works among your group and you want to connect, we inform them of your adoption. If organizations or networks are not available to provide prayer requests consistently or you prefer to pray or work independently, you will receive general prayer resources.
Stay Informed. You receive updates about your adopted people group. Learn about current needs, barriers to gospel, and progress being made. See when others have adopted the same group.
Partnerships Begin. When we make a match with an organization or network, they contact you directly. You work together from there. We step back and let the relationship develop naturally.
What Makes This Different
Direct Connections
We don't create another layer between you and the mission work. We make the connection, then step aside. Organizations and networks contact you directly with updates, needs, and opportunities.
Multiplied Support
Multiple adopters support each group. Other individuals, small groups, churches, organizations, and networks can adopt the same Frontier People Group. Together, this creates sustained prayer and support.
Flexible Involvement
You decide your level of involvement. Some adopters pray alone. Others combine prayer with funding, direct engagement, or other support alongside organizations and networks.
Why Accountability Matters
This isn't a feel-good initiative. It's a strategic effort to see the gospel bless every Frontier People Group.
The Goal
Every Frontier People Group has multiple adopters praying for them. Mission teams working among frontier peoples have the prayer support, funding, and workers they need.
