Pioneer. The designation used for a baptized Witness who endeavors to devote a specified number of hours in the public ministry. Most often used as an abbreviation for “Regular Pioneer,” someone who devotes 600 hours each year (50 hours each month). At times, used to abbreviate “Auxiliary Pioneer,” someone devoting 15 or 30 hours for one month or for a consecutive number of months. Pioneers are not paid for their public ministry and are not employees of their respective congregation or any corporation associated with Jehovah’s Witnesses. Most pioneers work secularly to support themselves. The term is not used as an honorific title.
