One God. One World. One Story.

Pioneers exists to support gospel-driven Christians as they step into God’s global mission story.

Our Mission

Pioneers mobilises teams to glorify God among unreached people groups by initiating church-planting movements in partnership with local churches.

For more than 40 years, Pioneers’ passion has been to glorify God among those who are physically and spiritually isolated from the gospel of Jesus Christ. Teams have gone to Muslim Bedouins in the deserts of North Africa; animist villagers in the jungles of South America; humanists in Eastern Europe and middle-class Buddhist urbanites in East Asia.

”How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news” (Isaiah 52:7).

Unreached People Groups

Send

Each member of Pioneers is sent by their local community of believers. We value our partnership with these sending churches and with the congregations emerging among the unreached as a result of their obedience. Read more about partnering with local churches.

Give

Today, 2.9 billion people speak languages and belong to cultures where there is no church. In response, Pioneers sends church-planting teams to serve among unreached people groups. Your support enables us to mobilise and equip missionaries on the global mission field.
