"We believe the local church is at the heart of God's redemptive plan. There is nothing more exciting than working together toward the completion of this unfinished task."

– Steve Richardson, Pioneers-USA President

Twice a year we invite church mission leaders to Orlando for an insider's look at Pioneers.

Gather with like-minded Christian leaders who share your concerns. Meet our staff. Bring your questions to the table. Let's explore ways we can work together to prepare, guide, and support missionaries on the field and in the pipeline.

Each event includes interactive, discussion-oriented sessions and opportunities for one-on-one appointments.

We encourage you to bring others from your church interested in pursuing pathways to partnership. Program costs, lodging, meals, and in-town transportation are our gift to you. If you have any questions, please contact one of our regional facilitators.
