The Apostle Paul noted in 2 Corinthians that “God loves a cheerful giver,” and James “Jim” William Lemuel Adams, Jr., founder and executive director of International Baptist Ministries, or IBM, is as cheerful as they come.
What is MAP?
The Missionary Adoption Program (MAP) exists to connect 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, 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
