long term mission unreached

1 in 3 is Still Unreached

More than 30% of the world's population lives outside the reach of any church. Sadly, only 3 out of every 100 missionaries goes to work among them! Pioneers continues to seek those who have a pioneering spirit to live and serve Christ among those who have never heard. 

A World of Possibilities

We live in a world of diverse peoples and cultures, and God has given each of us a unique set of skills, passions and abilities. At Pioneers, we are committed to taking time to hear your story and help you find a location, role and team that fits. Here’s what that long term mission process might look like for you: 

 

  • Your church, in partnership with Pioneers, will send you to live among the unreached in one of more than 100 countries.

  • You will join and work alongside a team, often made up of people who have been there longer than you and can help you find your way.

  • You will spend some time learning language and culture, get settled, build relationships and make disciples.

  • Using your experience in business, education, healthcare, technology, the arts or anything in between, you and your team will serve and empower your community.

  • By God’s grace, you’ll help plant a church that will in turn begin to plant other churches.

  • After that…who knows? God could take you anywhere to do anything, and we will be right by your side!
