What is pioneering?
To Go Where Others Have Not Gone
While the hope of the gospel has been spreading for thousands of years, millions of people have not yet had an opportunity to hear it. Determined to reach the ends of the earth with the Good News, we dedicate ourselves to sharing the gospel with the unreached. For more than 40 years, in partnership with their local churches, Pioneers missionaries have been using innovative and creative means to bring the gospel to every corner of the globe.
"I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on someone else's foundation."
The Apostle Paul, Romans 15:20
What Does it Mean to be a Pioneer?
Being a Pioneer isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about being willing to go—trusting God into places where few have gone before.
At Pioneers, we believe mission starts with ordinary people saying yes to an extraordinary God. It’s about crossing cultures, crossing streets, sometimes crossing oceans, to live and share the hope we’ve found in Jesus.
It’s tough work. There are no shortcuts. But it’s also full of moments where God shows up—sometimes in ways we’d never expect. Being a Pioneer means stepping out, digging deep, and trusting that when we plant seeds of the gospel, God brings the growth.
what's the next step?
Following God is a journey of trust. If He’s stirring your heart, we invite you to take the next step with Him.
Pray - Ask God to reveal His leading. Surrender your fears, hesitations, and expectations to Him.
Explore - Talk with us about what it means to serve cross-culturally. We'd love to hear your story and journey with you in discernment.
Prepare - If God is leading you to go, we will equip you through training, community, and support, so that you step out with wisdom and faith.
"Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 'Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?' And I said, 'Here am I. Send me!'" – Isaiah 6:8
A Commitment to pioneer
What would it take to engage 250 more people groups—in a single decade?
From the start, Pioneers teams focussed on unreached people groups, using innovative and creative means to share the gospel with the unreached in culturally understandable ways.
In 2023, we were challenged to unite with our colleagues worldwide to share the gospel in a growing number of unreached places and with people who have yet to hear it—to engage 250 more people groups with the gospel in the next 10 years (2025-2035).
Going is not about being extraordinary.
It's about Saying Yes.
If God is calling you, we're here to walk with you. Let's talk.
Is God stirring your heart? God is at work among the nations, drawing people to Himself in places where the gospel is little known. He calls ordinary people—like you—to join Him in this work. You don't need to have it all worked out. You just need a willing heart.
Going doesn't mean going alone. As part of Pioneers, you'll be journeying with a team of believers who will walk alongside you—encouraging, equipping, and supporting you in the harvest field.
