The Adopt-A-People Program (AAP) is an important way to be involved in mission even if you never serve overseas as a cross-cultural missionary. The goal of AAP is to adopt an unreached people group and pray for them until a viable and maturing church has been established. A family, a Bible study, a prayer group or a Sunday school class are welcome and encouraged to adopt an unreached people group. At times a group that initially committed to pray for an unreached people will actually send individuals as missionaries to their adopted group.
