25.01.2022 ‘He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins’ (Colossians 1:13-14) As I look back on my life, I am in awe of two important things. Firstly, the utter brokenness of my past: I lived in complete darkness and I liked it. Secondly, the magnitude of God’s love for me: Jesus’ redemption became mine as he delivered from that darkness and transferred me into His glori...ous Kingdom. Who is God guiding you to pray for today to experience His redemption? -O. . . . . . #PowerfulGospel #pray #Christian #Bible #Jesus #God #gospel #nations #mission #missions #pioneersaus #pioneers #disciples #discipleship #commission #missionary #love #strength #together #united #coronavirus #covid19 #light #hope #families #salvation #devotion #Monday

21.01.2022 Join us in praying for the Americas Oscar and Elizabeth in Bolivia Their ministry of developing kids church teachers and ministry to share His Word (across Bolivia and even into Argentina) continues despite lockdown. The Transforma training conferences are on hold at the moment but pastors are hoping that they can happen soon after lockdown.... They continue with curriculum writing with the addition of lessons for older primary aged children, based on inductive Bible studies of various books of the Bible. At the same time, they are continually adapting their current curriculum for pre-schoolers at their local church. Oscar continues preaching in the various services in their church via Zoom. He has also been asked to preach in other online church services here in Tarija and in the city of Cochabamba. Please pray for those who have the virus and for those who have lost loved ones. That these trials continue to assure or convict many of their eternal salvation. . . . . . #churchplanting #pray #Christian #Bible #Jesus #God #gospel #nations #mission #missions #pioneersaus #pioneers #disciples #discipleship #commission #missionary #love #strength #together #united #strongertogether #coronavirus #covid19 #light #hope

21.01.2022 Paul, Silas and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace and peace to you. (1 Thessalonians 1:1) In challenging circumstances, Paul and Silas were first to share the gospel in Thessalonica (Acts 17:1-9) and Timothy had followed up to encourage the fledgling church. Collectively these men write: To the Church of the Thessalonians, in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Brothers and sisters, would we too be courage...ous sharers of the gospel, so that people from all nations, tribes and people groups might find their identity in God the Father and the Lord Jesus. - Ray . . . #meninmission #pray #Christian #Bible #Jesus #God #gospel #nations #mission #missions #pioneersaus #pioneers #disciples #discipleship #commission #missionary #love #strength #together #united #strongertogether #coronavirus #covid19 #light #hope #world #salvation #devotion #Monday

13.01.2022 Here is a perspective on church planting from Timothy Keller that helps us think about its high priority in the world today... The vigorous, continual planting of new congregations is the single most crucial strategy for (1) the numerical growth of the body of Christ in a city and (2) the continual corporate renewal and revival of the existing churches in a city. Nothing elsenot crusades, outreach programs, parachurch ministries, growing megachurches, congregational consulting, nor church renewal processeswill have the consistent impact of dynamic, extensive church planting. #churchplanting

13.01.2022 #prayerpoint Join us in praying for AFRICA Praise God for the children of Liberia who make up 50% of the population. Pray that the Great Physician would heal the emotional and psychological scars that have been inflicted on theses precious images of God caused by war, the Ebola crisis, and now the Coronavirus pandemic. Ask that the Lord would protect his church in Liberia from false teaching of the prosperity gospel and cause it to grow in the face of growing Islam in the cou...ntry. Pray that he would raise up gospel leaders who will teach the Bible with integrity and show the people of God how to live in the fullness of life that Jesus came to bring to the earth. #churchplanting

12.01.2022 We are committed to helping people know and follow Jesus. And to the process of empowering and equipping those believers to become disciple-makers of others bodies of believers that, by the power of the Holy Spirit, are intentional about planting other churches. #churchplanting

09.01.2022 It is the same with my word, I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it. (Isaiah 55:11) Is Church planting hard work?... In our area the first missionaries were Westerners. They planted a few new churches among stone age highland people. A number of national missionaries from a very different climate, language and background came to share in the church planting ministry. For them, it was tough going with very little income or resources. They persevered and they in turn saw a number of churches planted. By our time converts were being discipled and they in turn went out to plant hundreds of churches in their language group. -Ian . . . . . #churchplanting #pray #Christian #Bible #Jesus #God #gospel #nations #mission #missions #pioneersaus #pioneers #disciples #discipleship #commission #missionary #love #strength #together #united #strongertogether #church #light #hope #world #salvation #devotion #Monday

07.01.2022 #prayerpoint Join us in praying for those preparing to go Please pray for all those who are currently enquiring and praying about serving God overseas. Pray that God will continue to raise up more workers for His harvest field. Though the pandemic has made things more challenging in terms of going, God is still at work. The need for the gospel to reach the unreached is important now more than ever as people are dying at a faster rate without the knowledge of Jesus and having... an opportunity to hear and respond to His saving love. . . . . . #churchplanting #pray #Christian #Bible #Jesus #God #gospel #nations #mission #missions #pioneersaus #pioneers #disciples #discipleship #commission #missionary #love #strength #together #united #strongertogether #coronavirus #covid19 #light #hope #world #salvation #devotion #Thursday #prayer

07.01.2022 Live Prayer - South Sudan

07.01.2022 ‘Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.’ (Colossians 3:23) Should a pastor really be doing a triathlon on a Sunday? Sincere concern was expressed for my reputation from a view that valued ‘formal’ ministry over building a strong family. Regardless, my daughter and I packed up the car for an unforgettable road trip and her first triathlon. Perhaps we displayed something our target culture needed to see. What will it ...look like to work at building your family with all your heart, working for the Lord, not people? - Stuart . . . . . #FamiliesinMission #pray #Christian #Bible #Jesus #God #gospel #nations #mission #missions #pioneersaus #pioneers #disciples #discipleship #commission #missionary #love #strength #together #united #coronavirus #covid19 #light #hope #families #salvation #devotion #Monday #Christmas

07.01.2022 "While the population of Chinese Christians is relatively small, the prayer is for this well-resourced and trained community to become a significant contributor to global outreach amongst the yet to be reached." -Patrick Lok. #Monday #devotional #TheAussieChurch

06.01.2022 Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts. Colossians 3:16 (NLT) This year, all over the world, we are learning that church does not need to be complicated. Two or three, gathered in a home or online, sharing our hearts and prayers. We speak wisdom to one-another as we lean into the word of God and respond to the Spirit...s nudges. This is the business of church planting in dark places. Creating gatherings where Jesus forgiveness is received, and his path is discovered. -Suzanne . . . . . #chuchplanting #pray #Christian #Bible #Jesus #God #gospel #nations #mission #missions #pioneersaus #pioneers #disciples #discipleship #commission #missionary #love #strength #together #united #strongertogether #coronavirus #covid19 #light #hope #world #salvation #devotion #Monday

06.01.2022 #prayerpoint: Prayer is greater than evil. Physical strength cannot overcome obstacles and challenges in the spiritual realm. Paul writes, For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 6:12). But in prayer, even the physically weak can become extraordinarily strong in the spiritual realm. Think of the frail olde...r sister or brother who quietly intercedes on behalf of unreached peoples. As such, we can call upon God to grant us power over evil. Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak (Matthew 26:41). Will you pray right now in the powerful name of Jesus that good will overcome evil in places of the world yet to hear the saving news of the gospel? . . . . . #meninmission #pray #Christian #Bible #Jesus #God #gospel #nations #mission #missions #pioneersaus #pioneers #disciples #discipleship #commission #missionary #love #strength #together #united #strongertogether #coronavirus #covid19 #light #hope #world #salvation #Thursday

06.01.2022 #prayerpoint Join us in praying for the Islands of South East Asia Pray for unreached people groups in Malaysia....

According to the UNHCR of the 177,940 registered refugees in Malaysia. 153,190 are from Myanmar and 101,320 are Rohingyas.

04.01.2022 "Early last year, I was privileged to attend some training in the Discovery Bible Study approach to Church Planting. This way of introducing people to the Bible seemed to have answers for some of the frustrations we had experienced and many of the questions we had been asking. Praise God, within weeks of trying this new approach, we were seeing groups of Hindus gathering together to study biblical truth for themselves!...God is doing amazing things on our island! As we see ...numbers of groups meeting together in different villages each week to discover truth, our hope is to see the Spirit moving many to respond in baptism and obedience to Jesus."

01.01.2022 Church Planting At Pioneers we are committed to doing something we know we cant achieve initiating church planting movements. We know only God can do that! But each Pioneers worker represents an unreached person, even unreached peoples. We asked a few about what qualifies them for this massive undertaking among unreached peoples. They said - The only qualification we hold is a willingness to serve ... where God sends - Honestly, absolutely nothing, apart from our knowing Jesus - The Holy Spirit, not skills - Simply saying "yes" to God - A willingness to give it a go even if we might fail Have you considered doing something way bigger than yourself, way more than you could possibly do alone? Such courage in the hands of God changes the world. Jesus said, Apart from me you can do nothing (John 17:5) Simon Longden
