A movement where Christ is named

Pioneers

Prayer & missions · Founded 1979 · Orlando, Florida, United States

Pioneers is a Christian missions organization founded in 1979 that mobilizes teams to reach unreached peoples with the gospel of Jesus Christ. It partners with local churches to send and support missionaries who live among communities where Christ is largely unknown. Pioneers focuses on planting churches, making disciples, and forming lasting fellowships of believers, often working in creative and difficult places through relationships, service, and patient witness.

What they do

Pioneers mobilizes and supports teams of missionaries who move into communities among unreached peoples, building relationships and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ over time. Its central aim is church planting, gathering new believers into worshiping communities that can carry the good news forward among their own people.

Working closely with local and sending churches, Pioneers cares for its workers, provides training and coaching, and seeks creative pathways into places where open Christian witness is difficult. Team members often serve through practical work, hospitality, and everyday life as they make disciples and see indigenous churches take root.

The Scripture behind the work

“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”
“Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation:”
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:”
“After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;”

Where the door leads

Pioneers exists so that peoples with no access to the gospel can come to know and follow Jesus Christ in their own churches. Every team, relationship, and act of service is meant to introduce someone to the Savior. A next step is to pray for the unreached and to read the Gospel of Mark, asking Jesus to show you who He is.
