Our mission is facilitating healthy teams to glorify God among Japanese people by planting churches in partnership with national Christian leaders.
Pioneers
is an evangelical mission movement with 2,593 international members serving on 248 church-planting teams in 95 countries among 180 people groups in 100 languages. Visit pioneers.org for more details.
One Distinctive
of Pioneers is its decentralized structure, encouraging each team to fulfill Pioneers’ mission in their own innovative way using sensitivity to their own context, gift mix, and ministry vision. Currently our teams are doing church planting through university outreach, community building, English outreach, preschools – in completely new church plants as well as in church planting partnerships with established churches.
