What is MAP?
The Missionary Adoption Program (MAP) connects Texas Baptist Churches with churches, associations and conventions in countries all over the world to jointly adopt local missionaries native to those countries. These missionaries intentionally focus on evangelism, discipleship and church planting in their own context.
How to Join MAP
Texas Baptists believe through collaboration, we can take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to areas we would not be able to alone. By joining MAP, you and your church are assigned to a specific missionary, whom you can pray for, financially contribute to, and visit on the field to serve alongside. 100% of all the offerings you give to MAP go directly to support your missionary partner.
The Harvest
MAP serves missionaries worldwide. We currently have partnerships in South Asia (Nepal, Bangladesh, and India), Africa (Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda), Brazil, Myanmar (Burma), Spain, Mexico, Peru, Argentina, Canada, and the United States.
Coming Soon
We are diligently working with co-laborers in the following countries to expand our efforts:
- El Salvador
- Cuba
