How it works

What is Adopt a Pastor Ministry?

AAP exists to strengthen pastors, Christian leaders and local churches through ongoing ministry support, solid biblical training, pastoral mentoring and access to trusted resources.

We are not a seminary or formal academic institution. We walk alongside pastors and leaders, offering practical, spiritual and ministry support, prioritizing contexts of greatest need in Portuguese-speaking countries.
