At Pioneers, we know from experience that robust and thoughtful training is the best way to help people get to the mission field and stay there. Wherever you are in your missions journey with God, we are very happy to come alongside you to help you go deeper. Check out some of our current training opportunities below.
Do you sense that God may be calling you to long-term mission work, and that you would like some training to prepare? Spend three months as part of a Pioneers Discipleship Training Community (DTC), being equipped to share your faith cross-culturally. The DTC programme is currently running in Australia, and plans are being made to open new communities around the world, including in London.
Arab World Training Hub
Drawing on the knowledge of our sending team, field workers, and partners, the Arab World Training Hub is Pioneers' platform for equipping you for ministry among people of the Arab world. As well as field preparation, we can tailor introductory sessions for your church, small group, or Christian Union. Our team are experienced at sending mission workers to North Africa, the Middle East and other Muslim contexts and will happily craft a personalised pre-field plan for you.
The Culture Bridge is a five-week course run by Pioneers staff several times a year. It's aimed at equipping diaspora Christians with a greater understanding of British Culture, enabling more effective intercultural relationships and cross-cultural evangelism with their British neighbours, for the sake of the Gospel.

At the age of 24 I became a missionary. And boy was I rubbish at it! I never really got the hang of missionary-ing. I made a complete hash of it, so much so that there was serious talk of sending me home before my two-year assignment was over. I had to beg them to let me stay!
