Pioneer

You can see almost everywhere evidence of God’s activity in the world.

Pioneers can find their way through many different, even contrary systems, for their faith is multifaceted. For them social and political affairs, religion and faith are all the same. They work with an integrated understanding of all things.

You venture into life, working towards justice.

Pioneers venture into life more than most and they have learnt to focus on what is before them. They have discovered that the best way to make the world a better place is to make it better for one other person at a time. Pioneers put their faith into action more and more, challenging the status quo and working towards justice in the world.

You function in an integrated open system.

Pioneers embrace the values of an open system for they know religious affairs, social matters and political processes are all integrated. They have a deep sense of responsibility to reduce the suffering in the world.

You seek to read systems and make a local impact.

Pioneers are systematic thinkers. They try to understand the larger forces behind what is happening to the world around them. Pioneers can increase their impact by fine-tuning the skills that help them read problems in their larger context in the world, while making a commitment to help a specific local community. For Pioneers this is true: Think globally and act locally.
