To compile this Pioneering List, we used criteria including Frontier People Group Status (see joshuaproject.net/frontier), unengaged status, and local expertise. Not all are necessarily Frontier People Groups or unengaged, but many are both. Please join us in praying daily for more workers to be sent out, and for movements to Jesus among these pioneering people groups and cities.
