The 13th group Pioneer Mission Movement (PMM) dedication service was held on November 8, 2014, at Chunsung Church in Korea. Many church leaderswere able to attend the service because it was during the Northern Asia-Pacific Division (NSD) Annual Council.
Seven pastors and their families were volunteering to serve for six years in frontier missions for the purpose of church planting and saving souls. Elder Lowell Cooper, GC vice-president, encouraged the PMM pastors with a powerful message in his sermon. He emphasized calling, commission, and commitment. Dr. Jairyong Lee, NSD president, commended them for their sacrificial missionary spirit as he presented them with the plaque of missionary appointment.

These pastors, the 13th batch PMM missionaries, will be assigned in six different countries: Ko JongSik–Taiwan, Shin JongSung–Taiwan, Lee HanKil–UT, Nam JinKu–Indonesia, Jeong EuiKwon–Japan, Pak JongSuk–Congo, and Kim JinHyup–Mongolia. They will receive 100 hours of intensive missionary training before they depart for their assigned countries.
Since the Pioneer Mission Movement (PMM) was launched in 2002, over the past 12 years, 94 PMM pastors and their families have left their home country to serve as cross-cultural church planting missionaries. At present, 48 pastors are working as PMM missionaries in 15 countries.
