A Passion to Pioneer

We have learned so much along the way and our passion to pioneer has seen many of us embark on amazing adventures to far flung places. Today, World Horizons has around 400 workers in 30 different countries. We have discovered that we are at our best when we are working into the ‘not yet’ regions. The marginalised and under-served places  and people of our world, where the need is very great but so often overlooked.

Historically, World Horizons UK recruited, trained, and sent people to work overseas. Our Centre for the Nations in Llanelli, South Wales was central in this process. We now live during a time where there is greater global migration than at any previous point in history. As people move from anywhere to everywhere, there are incredible opportunities for us to work inter-culturally wherever we live! Advances in digital technology have transformed our communication with people around the world. These changes have expanded our connections with people globally and changed how we play our part in God’s work.

We recognise that there is also much work to do across the UK and we are grateful for those God is sending to work with us here. In the last decade, we have seen increasing numbers of refugees and asylum seekers arrive on our shores. God is bringing the nations to our doorstep and we want to put out a welcome mat for them! Our teams are finding many opportunities to embrace those who arrive from other countries. Maybe you could join them and become part of writing the next chapter of our story!

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes into your life. You will tell about Me in the city of Jerusalem and over all the countries of Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth.” (NLV) Acts 1:8

There are some common themes woven throughout what we do which help to define who we are. They are expressed in different and diverse ways through each of our local teams around the UK.

We have seen that the kingdom of God often thrives in surprising places, among the last and the least, those who are forgotten, those on the edge of society. Our desire is to see people flourish, which has led us to encouraging the arts and empowering entrepreneurs. Much of our work is done in partnership with others through engaging churches and equipping workers.

World Horizons adheres to the Lausanne Covenant. Our passion is for everything we do to come from a place of prayer and an ongoing relationship with God.
