Why Short Term Mission?

Sometimes, you’re just not sure you’re ready to commit to long term missions yet. Or maybe you don’t know where you want to serve or what kind of ministry you’re best suited to do. If that sounds familiar, Pioneers may be able to help you find a short term mission role on a long term team. 

As part of our short term programme, you will:

  • Spend up to twelve months serving with and learning from a long term team.
  • Be mentored by long term missionaries.
  • See and experience for yourself what long term missions is like. 
  • Explore how God can use your skills and passions among the unreached.
