Brief overview of the initial adoption
steps and why adopt:

Why Adopt? It is scriptural. We are to be like Him.
Select a people. This is an important step as we are commanded by scripture to go into
all the world and preach the gospel, baptize them, but also teach them to observe all
things.
Register Your Adoption and or register your decision to pray. Registering your
commitment is good for several reasons; the first is accountability to God so others can
walk with you.
Praying for an unreached people is essential to seeing God's purposes established.
Ephesians 6:12 states that, "our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the
rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual
forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."
Researching your unreached people gives your group the information and
motivation to pray and provides assistance for determining other areas of potential
involvement or support.
Sustaining the adoption. Even though we are to be led by His Spirit and the
commitment we make is really to Him, sometimes the initial excitement of a church
adoption can grow cold without leadership who regularly bring the unreached people's
culture and needs before the advocacy prayer group or congregation.
Facts about your country:

speaking life into the
people and region. Claim
the area for God and His
purpose.
History of (your country)
• Make a timeline of the important historical events of your
country or province.
Customs and Traditions of the People
• Some customs and
traditions are good and ok,
and some really need to be
dealt with. The point of all
of this is you are
presenting the information
to your group or church
about the aspects. From
the information,
understanding the needs or
traditions, we the body in
unity can release God’s
Spirit on the people or
region. Things will change.
Some things will get worse
and some better.
Government of (your country)
• Explain how laws are made
and changed in your
country. Tell how people
are chosen to lead the
country.
• Pray that God’s
government come forward
and be put in place (fivefold gift ministry).
• Pray that the believers
learn who they are in
Christ, their authority,
purpose and gifts, that
they move in love and
unity AS ONE BODY.

services are produced in
your country. How do
people typically provide for
the needs of themselves
and their families?
• What drives the countries
economy.
• How can the body come
together to change the
focus of the economy, (His
promise in His covenants is
if we do it His way, He will
provide).

How to Pray for Unreached Peoples:
Intercession, the Church & Evangelization
“How all things on earth can change, if we believe and act.”

Work as one body, gather believers to be involved.
BREAKING DEMONIC ALLEGIANCES
RECOGNIZE THE SPIRITUAL LANDSCAPE
IS PRAYER IMPORTANT? YOU DECIDE (Be committed, it
is life and death, by what we do and the power of the tongue.)
• BE A WATCHMAN We need to be like a watchman.
• LAYING SIEGE AND WATCHING (Claim as holy ground: We
are to take back that which the enemy has stolen. This is done by faith and
our declaration. As we walk we stand on God's Covenant promise of Joshua
1:3, "Every place on which the sole of your foot treads, I have given it to
you," and Ephesians 6:15, "having shod your feet with the preparation of the
Gospel of peace." )
• INTERCESSION AND INFORMATION (network
prayer and information)
• FOCUS ON GOD - NOT ON DEMONS (speak solutions
and not problems, what we speak we will receive)
• DECLARE GOD'S WISDOM (Calling into existence)
Next Steps
• Choose the country or missionary.
• Inform ODB so we can record the adoption and we
can come in agreement with you and help you in
the adoption and after the adoption. It is also so
others that are adopting as well can pray for you
also.
