Opportunity: You Can Adopt a Frontier People Group

Source: Joshua Project

A new program launched last Friday (July 25). Joshua Project’s People Group Adoption Program is focused on the 100 largest frontier people groups, the populations with the least gospel access and the greatest potential for kingdom impact. They invite you to use your gifts, pray, advocate, network, learn, and serve.

Whether you’re adopting as a family, church, or organization, the commitment adjusts to what you can offer. Some will pray weekly. Others will fund translation projects. A few will end up moving to the field. All contributions matter.

When you register your commitment, you’ll receive:

  • Immediate next steps for your specific adopted group
  • A digital covenant card to mark your commitment
  • Information about your frontier people group
  • Regular updates as they develop more resources and connections

“Beyond the practical resources, you’ll receive something harder to quantify: the knowledge that you’re part of a strategic response to the most urgent spiritual need on our planet,” says Joshua Project. Sign up now and you can help improve the program for those who follow.

An observation: Focusing on the largest unreached groups (like “Turks” and “Brahmin”) will make it easier to find information and others to partner with (in contrast with being the first or only ones seeking to engage with a more obscure group). Benefit or drawback? You decide.
