Caleb Project and ACMC
For more than 30 years, ACMC (Advancing Churches in Missions Commitment) challenged and equipped the Church to take its rightful place in missions, teaching local churches how to strategically mobilize their spiritual, human, and material resources toward fulfillment of the Great Commission.
During the same period Caleb Project was enlisting Christians in a similar effort, challenging the Church to complete the task of world evangelization by taking the gospel to the least-evangelized people groups of the world.
In July 2006 ACMC and Caleb Project merged, forming a new organization later named Initiative360.
Due to a number of difficulties and challenges the new organization did not survive, but ceased operation the following February.
Ministry Under PIONEERS
Following the announcement that the organization had ceased operations, PIONEERS, an international mission with U.S. offices in Orlando, purchased the assets of Initiative360. Former staff of Initiative360 continue their ministries in affiliation with PIONEERS.
Steve Richardson, president of PIONEERS-USA, says, "A great number of churches have benefited from the services provided by Caleb Project and ACMC. Our desire is to serve the international body of Christ by preserving and enhancing the historic contribution of these organizations."
PIONEERS mobilizes church-planting, missionary teams to the world's least-reached peoples. Through strong partnership with local churches in the U.S. and around the world, they minister in 72 countries and 98 ethnic groups.
