What I learn from our members serving across the world is that there is inherent value in the task God has entrusted to them. They are doing what they are meant to do – sowing gospel seed and making disciples so that others might receive the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ on the basis of His death and resurrection. They are doing what God made them to do – persisting in the face of disappointments, discouragements, trials and threats. They are doing what few others do – crossing all kinds of boundaries for the sake of people who otherwise might never hear the gospel.
Some will say it takes incredible faith to do all that. And I agree, up to a point. Yes, faith is absolutely necessary. But it’s not the calibre of one’s faith that’s crucial. It’s the calibre of the object of one’s faith that counts. The late Timothy Keller captured this idea as follows: If you’re falling off a cliff, strong faith in a weak branch is fatally inferior to weak faith in a strong branch. Salvation is not finally based on the strength of your faith, but on the object of your faith.
A person can have mountain-size faith in false gods, or self, or the stock market, or any other weak branch, and be forever lost. A person can have mustard seed-size faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and be eternally secure in His provision and promises.
Crossing geopolitical, cultural, linguistic, financial and other boundaries is a way of life for Pioneers workers. It takes determination, courage, persistence, prayer, self-
denial, support, team, and a can-do approach along the way. But, most of all, it takes faith… faith in God. The belief that crossing boundaries is worth it because the gospel of Jesus Christ is for all people, and that God is accomplishing His purposes through His people as they serve others. God is at work in the world. It is faith in Him that secures salvation. It’s faith in Him that enables cross-cultural workers to serve. It’s not the strength of one’s faith but the object of one’s faith that matters most. We learn in 1Peter ch.1 that…
1. God has given us new life. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead (v3).
2. God is keeping that inheritance for us in heaven. Into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you (v4).
3. God is protecting us until we receive that inheritance. Who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time (v5).
You see, it’s all of God. God gives. God keeps. God protects. He is the object of our faith. And that’s how Pioneers workers have been crossing boundaries for 25 years. It’s all of God.

When it comes to our selection process, I’d say we are as picky as Jesus was when He chose twelve people to be His closest disciples. Their qualifications included: they were very ordinary, unusually diverse, often made mistakes, were confused, misjudged others, were unreliable and could swing between misplaced zeal and fear. Yet they gave up everything to follow Jesus. As their faith in Jesus as the Son of God grew, they learned from Him about serving, about loving other people (even those very different to them) and why the state of their hearts was more important than the kind of show they made in front of others.
Pioneers looks for people willing to give up everything for the sake of their Saviour Jesus. Ordinary people with human frailty, weaknesses and limitations. People who will no doubt make mistakes, yet are ever growing in faith and maturing in character. We want to send those who carefully and sensitively carry the gospel across cultural barriers as learners, listeners and friends.
• Like the family with five young children intentionally sharing their faith in one of the hottest countries in the world.
• Like the single woman leading a team in North Africa.
• Like the retirees living among a First Nations community in Northern Territory.
• Like the PhD couple working in a university in a country hostile to the Christian faith.
As we pray for more workers for the harvest field, we ask God to send people who love Him, who are well grounded in His word and have been serving faithfully in their local churches. Those who are willing to face hardship without needing recognition but, rather, are passionate about God’s glory being proclaimed among every people group on the planet.
We love to meet brothers and sisters in Christ who acknowledge they don’t have all the answers and they are not always right, but know they are God’s beloved children, empowered by the Spirit, with a message of hope for a broken world.
But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
2 Corinthians 12:9
Are you ordinary enough to be a disciple of Jesus? Then you may be exactly who God is looking for to join Him in His mission to redeem the lost.

Whether you’re a single woman, a retiree or a family unit on the mission field, God can use anyone to bring lasting fruit. Be encouraged by these variying experiences from members sent out at different stages of life.
I was loving life, walking down a dark street at 11:30pm with five boys aged between four and 14, laughing as we wandered to the local falafel shop. This Palestinian family has “adopted” me over the past seven years and I was having a “sleepover” at their house during Ramadan. In these long hours together the 14-yearold asked me why I’d come to the Middle East, when everyone else wants to leave for the West. I nearly cried with joy at his question.
Sometimes I’ve been the only single person in a team meeting. I’m struck by something. The parents on the team have many prayer requests about their kids, and I’m so thankful for their love and care for their children. But I’m also struck by how different my prayer requests are, mostly concerns about my local friends. This reflects where I am able to invest my limited time and energy. Not many expat mums could go to a sleepover at the neighbours or be available late at night to take a beaten friend to hospital. My singleness is a privilege.
But some days I’m deeply jealous of those same mums. Children to cuddle. A husband. Even my nephews are
too far away for me to build a good relationship with them. This unseen grief can be stirred up in unexpected ways. I’m often ‘heckled’ by women I visit who cannot fathom that I’m in my 40s without husband or child. ‘Why not?’. ‘You obviously don’t want to get married or have kids {subtext: ’you weirdo’}’. YES I DO! I feel like screaming sometimes. Instead I share mind blowing gospel truths about Jesus, marriage and singleness. But occasionally I take a different tack. I share that the God of the Bible lets us wrestle with Him in grief and lament. My vulnerability is often painfully bulldozed by their replies, ‘Ah well’, they say, ‘it’s better not to be married anyway, look at all the stress it causes us’. They laugh and move on.
If you are single by choice or not, and if you’re thinking of moving overseas to love people and introduce them to Jesus, then I want to acknowledge you may carry unseen grief and questions. But Jesus sees. Jesus carries us here and sustains us here. Please come. He is worth it.

We were hungry, tired, ready for a break as a family, so instead of making our own sandwiches at home, we went went to the local bakery. As we entered, we saw that all they had was bread and cakes. But we wanted a sandwich, which is basically a baguette with sliced meat, cheese and tomato.
So, with our very ‘advanced’ language ability, my wife and I worked out how to formulate the sentence, “Do you have sandwiches?”. Then in the spur of the moment, I pushed her forward to ask... and she did. “Vous-etes une sandwich?”. The lady behind immediately gave us a bewildered, wide-eyed, thoroughly confused side stare, then trying to hold herself back from laughing, she went on the explain what sandwiches they had on offer. Rather than asking “Do you have any sandwiches?”, what we said was “Are you a sandwich?”
...at least we still got our sandwiches. Living overseas as a young family with a six-year old and a one-year old has been an incredible rollercoaster ride filled with awe-inspiring moments and unforeseen challenges. From negotiating language mishaps, changing travel plans, adapting to new cultural norms, visas difficulties, figuring out schooling to simply normal daily life.
When we first embarked, we were greeted with the excitement of exploring new places, trying new foods and discovering the culture. But unlike travelling for leisure and beyond the lighter moments of life overseas, there were and are challenges to overcome.
Navigating the intricacies of visa regulations and bureaucratic processes became an art in itself. Hours spent pouring over documents, standing in queues, and enduring frustrations are part of the journey.
1970: The first of many revivals sweeps the SSEC
Packing, repacking, setting up and tearing down are all part of the transitional life we feel we’ve stumbled into as we have lived in four countries since we left. But some of the hardest things to do have been saying farewells, lost opportunities and the loss of stability. However, perhaps the most significant aspect of our journey have been the opportunities on the road to engage with people in gospel conversations with people who have never heard the good news and never even met a believer before. We are part of the lives of the unreached here, seeking to show them the goodness of an everlasting God.
Living overseas as a young family has challenged us to step outside our comfort zones and embrace the unknown. It has stretched our resilience, adaptability, and has taught us the beauty of shared experiences with each other and with those we meet.
We have our daily struggles. We struggle with simple things like getting out of the house on time, to ordering sandwiches without offending people. We struggle with bigger things such as cultural gaps, racism and the loss of what life could be back in Oz. But, through our weaknesses, we are taught to depend on His sufficiency for us and for those who have never heard of His goodness.
In the end, it is not just about being foreigners in a new land; it is about immersing ourselves in a world where the good news is not known and weaving the threads of our story into the rich tapestry of global citizenship, all the while reminding ourselves of our heavenly One.

Some Pioneers workers are involved in aid and development work through OARF projects that reflect an acknowledgement and understanding of the UN Sustainable Development Goals through a Christian faith perspective. These projects work with communities, seeking to improve conditions in a sustainable way and redress inequalities by promoting fairer and impartial systems of services, often for the least privileged and most marginalised members of that society.
The two-hour drive to ‘Black Axe’ from the capital got us there in time for the parents’ support meeting. The cold dreary morning and lack of electricity in the abandoned hospital grounds belied the warmth of the welcome we received, as former colleagues who helped establish the group have maintained strong connections. ‘Black Axe’ has an estimated population numbering 50,000, and this parents’ support group consists of 90 families who have at least one child with a disability - around the country, and especially in rural areas, disability rates, and cerebral palsy in particular, are 5-10 times higher than in Australia. After tea and small talk, we commenced a thorough discussion of the issues families with disabled children face. Accessibility to appropriate medical services, equipment availability, family support and social stigmas are keenly felt issues.
With enthusiasm, the group leaders flicked through pages of the resource ‘Disabled Village Children’, with versions we have translated into two languages. This highly accessible and applicable wealth of knowledge covers medical conditions, general child development principles, social integration and equipment manufacturing in primary school level language. The section on social integration sparked a lively conversation about the rejection of children from a playground because of fears of other children contracting disabilities. Parents now visit the playground in groups for solidarity.
Following this discussion, we visited a family with a severely disabled 11-year-old daughter. Her limbs are incredibly thin as a result of an inability to be fed solid food; she receives heavy anti-seizure medication which leaves her cognitively disengaged; and previous
mismanagement of her condition has left her with a dislocated hip, further hampering efforts at physical therapy. For her, our first goal has been to help locate and adjust an adaptable chair. Until now, financial constraints have prevented suitable specialised seating from Europe. Interestingly, this family isn’t part of the parents’ support group in ‘Black Axe’, which prompts questions about how many families there are in similar circumstances.
These examples illustrate the typical issues faced by families with disability here. Having a disabled child presents significant challenges regardless of location, but in this post soviet, traditional culture, beliefs and superstitions compound social rejection. Medically speaking, the lack of qualified physios and occupational therapists, further amplifies the challenge, with no known locals in the whole country having these qualifications.
The path towards widespread change is a long one, requiring a multi-pronged approach. Our small team of allied health professionals are engaging at grassroots levels, and also at university level, where anything from occasional ‘masterclasses’ to widespread systems development of rehabilitation are explored. For significant change to happen, ongoing relationships that empower development of locals are required.
Please consider giving towards this project to help enable long-term change for the sake of families with disabilities, especially those in rural locations. If you have allied health skills, will you join us here?

While change is a constant, in the care of Pioneers workers some things have remained the same. Our Heavenly Father’s care has not changed. His supply of enabling grace is always the same. His powerful love, comforting compassion and enduring faithfulness toward our members has stood the test of time. His provision of pastorally gifted carers serving on our team has been constant. Our need for and dependence on the Lord are unchanged.
But the care we extend to our members serving throughout the world has progressed over the years. Pioneers was birthed at a time when missionary member care was considered a vital component of the modern missionary enterprise. Extensive research through studies such as the “Reducing Missionary Attrition Project” (ReMAP I & II) examined structures and organisational practices that keep missionaries serving in their contexts, and helped determine what makes cross-cultural ministry fruitful. “Doing member care well helps us to do missions well. It strengthens missionaries so that they can effectively love, evangelize, and disciple people groups; endure hardship; and grow as people … is a direct and strategic way to fulfill the Abrahamic Covenant of Genesis 12, along with both the Great Commandment and the Great Commission.” 1 This and other research reshaped member care posture and practises. Member care is not just a personnel department but a characteristic attitude that permeates our operations. Member care is about the Shepherd’s heart. And it is impossible to separate our member care practices from our mobilisation, training, administration, and finance efforts. We serve as a cohesive team from beginning to end.
Shortly after Pioneers Australia began following the merger of other organisations, Shirley DeBoer and Rod White pioneered our can-do caring culture. Then David and Margaret Price, together with an amazing team, developed an interactive journey to build healthy evidenced-based member care practices saturated in our core values such as Passion for God, Innovation and Flexibility, and Local Church Partnerships. This focus further enhanced our selection, preparation and care practices, including the ongoing use of psychosocial and medical reviews, and seeking to develop capacity in cross-cultural living and team dynamics. Our practices were thoughtfully honed again under Brent Allred’s leadership of our member care team.
Adding to this in more recent years, Pioneers has developed a mission formation mentoring journey designed to help build habits of resilience. Today, each of our member carers maintains a personal connection in the journey our members walk in their calling to serve unreached peoples around the world through constant and inevitable change and challenge. Home assignments (times when members periodically visit Australia) are opportunities for deliberate reflection, careful debriefing, important medical reviews, rest and refreshment, and reporting to finance and prayer partners, and serving within their sending churches.
While our caring has incrementally changed over the years, our Heavenly Father has remained constant. To Him be all glory, honour and praise!
Paul Rayside | Member Care Team Leader
This annual event is always a highlight on the Pioneers calendar!
This time around, 16 candidates joined the Pioneers team at a local campsite, taking an important step toward cross-cultural life and ministry. And what wonderful people! Each with gifts and skills and experiences to draw on. Each motivated by the message of God’s love in Christ Jesus.
O Week is not the only preparatory step people take as they join Pioneers to serve on teams around the world. We seek to tailor mission preparation and mission formation life-on-life plans and processes over one-to-two years so that by the time people ‘get there’ they are equipped to enter their new settings. All kinds of pre-field learning opportunities are on offer to help people learn how best to engage in language acquisition, adjust to new cultures, and begin building relationships.
International guests joined us to help shape the week. Eugene & Djenabou (leading Pioneers Africa), Dan & Katie (serving in Europe) and Daniel & Courtney (serving in SE Asia) shared profound insights on topics such as Leading and Following, Ethos of Grace, the Cost of Missionary Service, Disciple-making and Church Planting, Unreached Peoples, and more. We opened God’s word each morning, prayed, sang, discussed, and learned together about finance and member care and multi-cultural teams and church partnerships.
There is something remarkably compelling when ordinary people share about the difference the gospel has made in their lives. When someone speaks with sincerity and assurance about who Jesus is and what he has done (on the cross, for the world, for them personally), curiosity is piqued, people lean in, and lives are touched as the Holy Spirit is at work. What is on offer to the world is reconciliation with God, the forgiveness of sin, and the assurance of eternal life. These are no small things! This new group of cross-cultural gospel bearers are planning to serve in East Asia, South-East Asia, several African countries, Central Asia, Europe, among Indigenous Australians, and among diaspora groups in Sydney.
Please pray for them as they take steps of faith. The foundation of Christian assurance is not how much our hearts are set on God, but how unchangingly his heart is set on us. They are moving forward compelled by the love of Christ – His love for them, and theirs for Him in return. As such, the world is being reached.
“For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.”
Habakkuk 2:14
What was it like to go through the process of becoming a Pioneers member?
I first heard about Pioneers in 1998 when I was studying at the Bible College of Victoria (now MST), preparing to be a Bible translator. Even though I was expecting to serve with another organisation, Russell Briggs, a Pioneers mobiliser, was continually encouraging me on my mission journey. He said he didn’t mind which agency I went with, he just wanted to see me where God wanted me to be. I so appreciated his support and personal interest through my years of study when I was trying to work out where God wanted me to serve and with which organisation! When I finally made my decision, I realised that Pioneers was the one with which I best fit! I still remember my interview. I went out to lunch at with Tim Meyers, Simon Longden and Rod White and had a great relaxed chat. When we got back to the office I asked, “So, when are you going to interview me?” They laughed, “We did, over lunch!” Things were pretty relaxed!
What were your first impressions on the field?
I loved learning the language!! I found the local people incredibly friendly, and although at times I became exhausted engaging for long periods of time, I also remember that when I was feeling down, homesick or alone, hanging out with local people was usually the best antidote. Another big impression was Americans! I was the only Aussie in our area at that time, and I was on an all-American team! They were so kind - always making a big effort to ask about Australia, to include me in their families, and to support me as a single. I was challenged by their generosity and the genuine affirmation they gave - a bit different to the Aussie ‘put down’ humour I was used to.
Sadly, the events of September 11, 2001, left a big impression too. That act of terrorism occurred eight weeks after my arrival on the field, and changed everything, bringing much fear. My team had already been traumatised by violent riots against Christians 18 months earlier, and now the tensions between Christians
and Muslims worldwide were at an all-time-high. I lived with an evacuation bag packed next to my door for at least twelve months, ready to leave quickly if the local people turned on us - but thankfully that never happened.
How has your ministry changed over the years?
Two very significant changes are that my team is now all local people, and my role is now more supporting local leadership rather than leading the local team.
Probably the biggest change in our area of ministry - Bible translation - has been the changing use of technology. We are working in a very sensitive area, so using printed copies of the Bible is risky for our partners who are reaching out the Eswe people - but having the Bible on phones or online opens a myriad of new opportunities. Working remotely is also now easy and effective. COVID saw me stranded in Australia for two years, but we were able to continue working together on ZOOM, and in fact got more translation done in those years than in any previous year! Now I am working from Australia about 60% of the time, connecting with the team most days thanks to technology.
What are you looking forward to?
• seeing my national colleagues running the project and telling me what to do!
• the translation of the New Testament into the Eswe language finally completed!
• more and more Eswe people hearing God’s Word in their heart language and seeing God transforming their lives.
And, most of all, I am looking forward to one day, standing around the throne, worshipping Jesus alongside thousands of Eswe people among others from every nation, tribe and tongue!

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
Galatians 6:9
“How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news…”
These much-loved words are so often associated with Christian mission, as Jesus’ followers go out into the world to share the gospel. During my first year as a field worker in 2000, the LORD gave me a fresh insight into Isaiah 52:7. I had been working professionally in global broadcasting production for years, and now saw that the digital ‘footprint’ of gospel programming was beautifully crossing boundaries without restrictions; that through Media, the good news of Christ could be presented in otherwise inaccessible places and to unimaginable numbers of people, where gospel messengers might never get a foot on the ground.
Through a two-decade career in mainstream TV and radio production, and then five years overseas as a mission worker, the LORD had been honing my skills and experience towards a new media ministry role with Pioneers. I joined Pioneers in 2009 to serve at the Arab World Media base in France. Four years later, I relocated with others to the UK as production continued
there. For the last 14 years I’ve been involved in creating audio-visual content for AWM’s social media outreaches and website ministry, as our team engages online with Arabic-speaking seekers who want to know more about Jesus, the Bible and the Christian faith. And we see the LORD transforming lives across the Arab World every day!
Being a middle-aged single woman based outside Australia, I’m so grateful to my heavenly Father for the overseas ‘family’, the good friends and Christian fellowship I’ve enjoyed wherever I have been living and serving. Building meaningful personal connections with others, both within and beyond the team, is a major factor in ministry effectiveness and personal wellbeing wherever you are. Strong, healthy relationships, where you can be blessed and also bless others, are just as important to service longevity as any skills or abilities you have to offer.
