Meet the Church Partnerships Team
Pioneers sees partnership with your local church as our role as you send missionaries to the unreached. The church, missionary and mission agency each bring a unique, God-given design, perspective and strengths to global outreach. We maximize such resources when we intentionally work together. That’s why we partner with the local church.
