LESSON ONE 
PIONEERING
A.	WHAT IS PIONEER EVANGELISM?
•	Pioneer evangelism is taking the gospel message into areas where it is not being preached. 
•	Pioneer evangelism is Home Missions at work and in practice. 
•	Pioneer evangelism is World Evangelism starting where it was meant to begin - in our Judea and Samaria. 
B.	PLOUGHING:
•	I Corinthians 3:6, 10
•	Pioneer evangelism may be likened to a pioneer establishing his home in the wilderness, cutting down the forest, and ploughing virgin soil. 
•	It is the most sacrificial, and calls for the greatest dedication.
•	Many times the pioneer preacher never sees the fruit of his labors. 
•	He moves on to another field of labor, and then his successor reaps a great harvest. 

C. THE PIONEER EVANGELIST:
•	I Corinthians 9:22
•	Not every preacher can be a pioneer. 
•	The work of pioneering calls for the very best, and even these best of preachers should be certain of the call of God before attempting it.
•	If he is assured of the will of God, he will keep steady during these seasons of testing. 
•	One thing he must always remember is that there is no quitting place. 
•	He who puts his hand to the plough must not look back. 
•	If he is in the will of God, there can be no failures. 
•	Let him stand firmly upon the promise, Psalm 126:6, and Galatians 6:9.
The pioneer evangelist must have these qualifications and characteristics:
1.	He must be fully dedicated and consecrated;

E. A FEW RULES TO BE REMEMBERED IN PIONEERING:
These rules will be repeated elsewhere but are stated here for the purpose of emphasis. 
1.	Do not rail at the churches already established there. Preach a positive message. 
2.	Never have a heated argument with anyone. Let us care more about the soul than winning an argument.
3.	Purpose in your heart to win one soul at a time.
4.	Receive permission from proper authority before holding street services or tent services. Rigidly obey the by-laws of the town.
5.	Be familiar with all tracts handed out and are sure they contain the truth.
