Pioneers is so glad to begin partnering with you formally as you prepare for cross-cultural ministry.  We recognise that you have prior knowledge and experience.  We want to honour that and not just ask our pre-field members to do all of the same preparation steps!  Pioneers doesn't want to burden you with excessive tasks before you go, but to focus on areas where you recognise for yourself that you need to strengthen.  Please answer honestly as this will help inform all craft your ongoing pre-field preparation plans!
