Learn more about us by coming to Pioneers in sunny Orlando, Florida for a five-day event we call Explore.
Expect to come away with a personalized pre-field training plan, with tasks and steps to help you go to the field well prepared the healthy. We wrote an article that details what a typical Explore week looks like.

Build Your Support Team
5
You’ll need an active team of supporters who will pray fervently and give financially to help you thrive on the field. Our coaches will help along the way!
We put together a helpful list of 10 key questions about budgets and raising support.

Get Trained
6
After completing your pre-field preparation and raised support, you’ve got one more stop: Launch. This final five-day training event in Orlando ensures you are ready to go to the field.
(Joining Venture to go to the field for a year or less? You will not need to come to Launch. Instead, your coach will work with you as you complete other pre-field training steps.)

We make a case for why pre-field preparation is so important. Don’t sleep on it!
Prepare yourself
Go!

The next step is simple: GO! Buy your plane tickets, pack your bags and say your goodbyes.
Receive Ongoing Care
8
This final step is less of an actual step and more of an ongoing process of Pioneers caring for you while you live and minister cross-culturally.
Team leaders and teammates are the primary source of member care, but regional leaders and a skilled member development team are ready to come alongside you as needed.
