Mission Mentoring Program: The Mission Formation Journey

Alongside our suite of training, we provide each Pioneers appointed worker with a mentor to walk with you on the preparation pathway.

The Mission Formation Journey mentoring program is designed as a one-on-one mentoring relationship between an individual going to the field and a mentor with field experience. Throughout the journey we hope space is held for the Holy Spirit, mentor and mentee to pray together, meditate on scripture, process life on the journey toward missions and reflect on topics that will directly impact your life and ministry as a cross-cultural worker.

This integral, relational part of our pre-field training accompanies our event-based training as a source of encouragement and place of reflection. This realtionship is developed over the course of 6-12 months.

Join Us in the Mission

At Pioneers Australia, we believe that church planting is a calling for the whole body of Christ. Whether through going, sending, praying, or supporting, you can be a part of seeing church planting movements take root among the unreached.

Pray

Join us in prayer for the unreached - and those who go. Pray for unreached people to encounter the hope of Jesus. And lift up those who are serving among them with courage, love, and faith.

Prayer Resources

Partner

Come alongside those God has sent. Your support helps sustain mission efforts in some of the hardest-to-reach places and strengthens workers as they share Jesus with those who’ve never heard.

Partner

Go

If God is leading you to go, we will equip you through training, community, and support—so that you step out with wisdom and faith.
