What Is It?
Exploring your role in God’s mission to the unreached? Want to see if Pioneers could be a good ministry partner? Then Mission:Next is a weekend for you!
Be stirred by our core values, learn about the needs across the world and leave with an action plan for your next steps in mission, whether with Pioneers or not! Though not a 'training' event, Pioneers has designed the weekend to be very interactive and touch on key issues in missions, but with a flavour of Pioneers.
Where & When Is It?
- The weekend is held at The Bible Centre, Barnsford Road, Inchinnan, Renfrewshire, PA4 9LZ, Scotland.
- Arrive by 6.30pm on Friday and depart after lunch (around 2.30pm) on Sunday.
- a light supper will be provided on Friday evening (as will all meals inclusive of lunch of Sunday), so please arrive between 6-7 pm. Hot drinks will be available all weekend, all the time!
COVID UPDATE We are being permitted to run the event this time around as long as we put a number of Covid restrictions in place. You will be familiar with most of them - face coverings, one way systems, table bubbles etc. - but one thing we do need you to do is to take a Lateral Flow Test 3 days before you travel. If this is positive you need to follow it up with a PCR test. If the LFT or PCR test are negative, you can come! If the PCR test is positive, you will unfortunately have to delay your Mission:Next experience until next time around, and follow the government's procedures for testing positive. You can order free LFT test packs here https://www.gov.uk/order-coronavirus-rapid-lateral-flow-tests
Travel options: By air to Glasgow Airport (The Bible Centre is almost at the end of the runway!); Train to Glasgow or Paisley; Bus to Glasgow; Drive direct.
