VIDEO FROM AD2000 --
AD2000 & BEYOND RELEASES NEW ADOPT-A-PEOPLE VIDEO called "Ordinary People, Extraordinary Love"

Have you...seen this article in Brigada today..."JP2000 VIDEO IS A WINNER! --...It's a 13-minute overview of the JP2000 concept, complete with interviews with key mission leaders like John Robb, Patrick Johnstone, and Luis Bush. Also included is footage from meetings such as GCOWE '95, the Launch, and the Himilaya event...grab your $9.95 and =run=, don't walk, to John at 76651.2032@compuserve.com ..=includes= shipping and handling costs to any USA destination! ...John's tel. is 719-380-0505..." I ordered one of these videos and was very impressed with how concise it was. It was very well done, and I would recommend it highly. Besides, it was inexpensive. I am planning on showing it to my Sr. High Sunday School class as well as the Mission Task Force of my church. Don't forget the popcorn.

A 13-minute video introducing the Joshua Project 2000 effort to place short-term research teams among unreached people groups is available from Procla-Media Productions. Contact 76651.2032@compuserve.com or write P.O. Box 26479, Colorado Springs, CO 80936 USA.

Produced in collaboration with YWAM's ProclaMedia and Caleb Project. This is a good introduction to the Joshua Project list, strategy, and philosophy of partnership in missions.

AD 2000 is working on a Christian and secular list of videos which they hope to link them to the Joshua Project 2000 people profiles on their web site......so when you look up the People, you'll get the video info listed. Someone in their office has been (part time) doing the Christian sources, and a researcher in Maine is working on the non-Christian, mostly anthropolocial films and videos. Once complete, they should be able to pull by video name, distributor, etc....

"Have you seen the AD2000 Adoption Guidance Program and Missions Resource Kit? The price is right... AD2000 is selling them for $5 (for quantities of 1-4, $4 for quantities of 4-10, $3 for 11-15 and 2$ for 16 and above)! Can't beat that! Postage is on top of the above costs. Expect $1.10 extra for postage for a single CD. This thing contains the full copy of the videos for Praying Through the Window II and III, as well as Part V of Generation (which is part of a set that sells for like $80!), and tons more. Full content of several web sites (including Brigada, Caleb Project, and AD2000!). This is a great tool for those who don't have live access to the web, but would like to refer to these resources and others. Grab one today!"

Adopt a People Project
Select one unreached people group to adopt. By adopting the group, recognize that you are committing to pray for their evangelization. For an AD2000 listing of unreached peoples and more information, contact the Adopt-A-People Clearinghouse, P.O. Box 17490, Colorado Springs, CO 80935, (719) 574-7001.

I recall, I think it was about two years ago, that someone was making up cards for unreached people groups that had a color picture of a child...and a description of the people group on it. Those cards come from the Adopt-A-People Clearinghouse. They look so much like greeting cards that a mobilizer friend of mine mailed the Turkmen one as his Christmas card one year. If I remember correctly, the price was somewhere around 25 to 50 cents apeice for an order of a few hundred. Last I heard they had just over half a dozen profiles. They welcome new profiles, and said the set-up cost is around $1,000. AAPC's address is P.O. Box 17490, Colorado Springs, CO 80935. You can probably also contact them by email at MarvBowers@XC.org

How Can My Church Learn About "Adopting" a People Group?

1. YOUR DENOMINATION: If you belong to a denomination, check first to see if they have an "Adoption" program. If they do, start there. This will save you some trouble for the leaders and members of church to accept adoption as a worthwhile pursuit!

2. AD2000 and Beyond Movement: Tracks which unreached people groups on the Joshua Project 2000 list have been adopted or targeted by churches and mission agencies. AD2000 also has an Adoption Guidance Program & Mission Resource Kit on the web and CD-ROM-recently updated and highly recommended! 2860 S Circle Dr Suite 2112, Colorado Springs CO 80906, 719-576-2000, info@ad2000.org, <www.ad2000.org>;.

Important Notes:
* Don't be lazy; verify what you find on the Internet! The web is a great source of misinformation. Make phone calls and look for real live people who know about your people group and can help you evaluate what you find. * Also, for those of you writing papers, we know it's very easy to plagiarize off the web. That's theft. Don't do it! Use quotations marks when appropriate, and always cite your sources.

TIPS ON GETTING INTRODUCTIONS (SMITH)`

• Volunteer as much information as possible, in order to motivate and assist the networker as they try to help you. They need to know what you want and why, what you've found, and who you've talked to.
• Avoid requests like, "I'm trying to learn about the xxxxx people. Please send me all your information." Understand that you might not be given names and contact information, instead requested to leave your name and contact information for the networker to pass along.
• Aim for personal contact, not just information. A phone call is often more effective in building trust and facilitating the flow of information than an e-mail. Face to face contact is best. However, respect the time of the person helping you and be willing to wait.
• Respect privacy and security concerns. Don't send e-mail with missions language to those in sensitive fields. If you have any doubts write a short non-threatening note first to find out. Accept referrals to someone with whom you might be able to discuss your interest more openly. Make sure you know what can be published or passed on, and what can't.
• Communicate respect for the other person's time and priorities. Be careful not to give the impression that you expect your new friend to drop everything else for your schedule. Those living overseas, especially, may not get back to you for weeks or months. Ask them if there is someone else you should contact instead.
• Be sensitive to levels of credibility. Those who track information and networks for the whole world may lack credible information on your area of the world; try to find regional experts rather than global ones. Unfortunately, the most knowledgeable people may be least available, and the most available people, the least knowledgeable. Cultivate grace and patience. Expect to find some misinformation.
