3. 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.
