7The world is entering a new frontier. The economy, technology, family structure, neighborhoods, organizations, and networks of North America are rapidly changing. In Pioneers, Jon Wiest and Ed Love use the story of Luke 10 as a blueprint for raising up a new wave of pioneering leaders, willing to blaze new trails in the "wild west" of our post-Christian culture. Jesus sent out 72 missionary disciples to pave the way for his message to be received. We believe God wants to do the same with modern-day pioneering leaders. This practical book will lay a historical and biblical foundation for any missionary disciple interested in engaging and serving a group of people uncomfortable or unfamiliar with the established church. Are you ready to answer the call to pioneer a new work in your neighborhood or community?
