Pioneers UK & Ireland Blog

We would like to inform you of some important developments regarding your financial support to the mission.

Following the legal merger of AWM and Pioneers UK on 1 July 2024 and the integration of sending office operations in 2025 into one Pioneers base in the UK, gifts to the Mission, unless otherwise restricted, will go to the Mission Development Fund. This enables the Mission to support all 145 members on the field.

Even more workers in the Arab world

Your gifts continue to make a significant impact on ministry among Arab people, as the office sends and supports 72 workers and their children – that is half of our membership – as they serve among Arab Muslims. As a result of the merger we are supporting even more workers involved in Arab ministry!

Improved giving opportunities

We want to facilitate the various ways people can give to the mission and have made improvements to our online giving pages. You can now give to the ministry in general, to a field member, and to special projects in a few simple clicks. You can make a one-off or regular donation securely on our website or contact the finance team for details to make standing orders. We are also very happy to continue receiving cheques. 

There are no changes needed to your standing orders at present. We will contact you should changes to our banking processes in the future require any changes on your part.

Your Gift Aid declaration with AWM remains valid if your circumstances are unchanged. Please notify us of any details that have changed that would affect your Gift Aid declaration. Going forward we will provide a new Gift Aid declaration for first-time donors.

Continuing commitment to the Arab world

We have intentionally retained both Pioneers UK and AWM charitable objectives into the unified charity which the board of trustees have wholeheartedly endorsed and will actively promote going forward. We continue to train people and churches in Muslim outreach with our Arab World Training Hub expertise and we continue to provide specialised inductions for those going on short-term ministry trips among Arab people.

We remain incredibly grateful for each gift given to further the work of God’s Kingdom among the nations.
