How Do I Choose An Agency?

Pioneers

Pioneers has a clear statement of faith, a focused mission, and a consistently applied set of Core Values. It is a leader in the application of a ‘team’ philosophy of maximising the potential of indigenous national missionaries. Pioneers has a reputation for excellence, for the high quality of its missionaries, and for stewardship of resources.

Pioneers’ role is to recruit, train, and support missionaries who serve in difficult environments around the world. Pioneers also provide an efficient way for many churches to partner by organising resources for greater impact, and providing benefits and services at a lower cost for each individual missionary. Pioneers also assist its field missionaries in communicating with their prayer partners and financial supporters, and in turn provide accountability, enabling churches and donors to have confidence in the work they are supporting.

Why Do People Choose A Mission Agency?

Missionaries select Pioneers as their mission agency for a number of reasons including its focus on the least-reached for Christ, its flexibility in tailoring missionary assignments, and the opportunity to participate in multicultural teams. Pioneers’ vision, youthfulness, and decentralised leadership structure are attractive. Often, a missionary’s sending church will recommend that they join Pioneers because the church considers the mission to be a reliable ministry partner.

Pioneers’ members experience fellowship with like-minded missionaries and enjoy the freedom to pursue their calling with a minimum of interference from their support organisation. They enjoy an individualised, relational approach with special care and attention to their families and children. Pioneers help them raise support to fund special projects, and provide critical services including insurance, newsletter publication, crisis management, a retirement plan, administration, and record keeping.
