Pioneers mobilises teams to glorify God

amongst unreached people

by initiating church planting movements

in partnership with local churches.

Mission Statement Definitions

1. "Unreached Peoples" refers to ethno-linguistic people groups among whom there is no viable indigenous community of believing Christians with adequate numbers and resources to evangelise their own people without cross-cultural or other outside assistance.
2. A "Team" is a group of at least three missionary units (where a unit is a couple or a single) who are committed to each other and to their common ministry task.
3. A "Church-Planting Movement" is a dynamic and self-perpetuating process of church multiplication, which may include a variety of ministry methods.
4. "Partnership" refers to mobilisation bases and the teams they serve, ministering in close cooperation with local churches both in the sending and receiving countries where possible. Pioneers personnel contribute as consultants, catalysts, and equippers in the church-planting movement.
