Our Aim:
We desire to equip and release well-formed disciple makers into the global Pioneers family, through hands-on mission and mentoring, within life-on-life intercultural teams.
Our Distinctives:
We focus on spiritual and character formation – inward before outward, private before public. We value and celebrate the diversity of Christ’s global Body – and desire to learn how to serve as a unified family on the mission field. We believe learning happens best in reflective communities of practice.
Our Process:
Training Facilitators
20 hours a week you will be trained in content designed to shape you as a disciple-maker, taught by a diversity of experienced leaders. The rest of the week is focused on applying this content through ministry among migrant unreached peoples.
Mentors
We seek to provide experienced, heart-language mentors for you to process how God is shaping you through community, the content, and hands-on ministry.
Church-Planting Coaches
You will be coached in various strategies and skills for starting church planting movements as you serve on an intercultural teams.
