Venture into new off-the-grid environments
Join the 2025 Pioneer Initiative – nine months of dedicated training in Europe and North Africa, followed by two years devoted to living in one of the most spiritually and culturally challenging locations on earth.
World Horizons is a multi-national Christian charity. Serving together in teams, our common goal is to share the Gospel with people who have never heard it and in places where there is no church. Often these communities exist in the hard, remote or dangerous regions of the world.
The Pioneer Initiative reignites this core vision; equipping teams to explore new territories. Teams will live among a people group where most have never heard the name of Jesus. They will form strong, supportive communities, seeking creative ways to bring Jesus to those who, as yet, don’t know of his love for them.
If you are interested in joining the Pioneer Initiative, please get in touch.

Information
Intensive team preparation
in Europe and North Africa
The eight months of comprehensive, intensive, team-based training consists of both highly practical preparation and essential mission-based studies. You can be sure spirit, body and mind will be well prepared to venture out into even the toughest environments.
Practical coaching
Informative training covering a range of highly practical topics including bush craft, foraging, car mechanics, wilderness first aid, water skills, physical fitness, staying safe, developing resilience, canoeing, and hair dressing.
Essential mission-based studies
An introduction to foundational global mission themes including the history of mission, world religions, hermeneutics, spiritual gifts, spiritual warfare, discipleship, prayer, church planting, cross-cultural adaptation and multicultural team dynamics.
Faith strengthening
Develop spiritual resilience as a team; pray and worship together, study the Bible and seek to hear from God.
Team expeditions
Travel through Southern Europe and into the Atlas Mountains of North Africa. Trekking with us over 3,500m peaks to connect with unengaged villages on the other side. Learning from experienced staff who have worked in these regions for years, we will equip you for wherever God is calling you.
If you have a courageous, positive attitude and a desire to pray for the seemingly impossible, then come and be part of the new momentum of pioneers.
Participants will need to be able to communicate easily and effectively in both written and spoken English.
