Pioneers

Sorry, it's been so long since my last post. I was actually out of town for a bit spending some time with a wonderful missions agency called Pioneers. The purpose of the trip was to get to know each other and consider if there was a good fit to work together in some capacity. Still not sure, but I at least wanted to make people aware of this wonderful group of people serving God and doing their part to advance the Kingdom of God.

Out of the almost 1000 missions agencies in the U.S., Pioneers really stands out as an agency that trusts the Holy Spirit and values grace and community (several of their core values) as they facilitate one's call into missionary work. There is no sense of dictating direction, controlling the calling or even laying out a bunch of hoops to jump through in order to screen candidates. This is truly a refreshing presence in the "missions world."

I had a great time getting to know many of the individuals that come from various theological, political, regional, and even generational categories. If you have any interest in mission work, whether short-term, long-term, or just to explore the possibilities, especially if you have no idea what it would look like or how you could be you and do what you do for God, I strongly urge you to check out Pioneers.
