Jesus said that he came to serve, not be served. (Matthew 20:28). As His followers, we are called to do the same. We are the “hands and feet” of Jesus to those in our neighborhoods, community, country and world. The call for Christ followers is to dedicate our lives to mission, anywhere and everywhere. In 2008, Horizons will put its devotion to Jesus in Motion. Beginning in our own back yard and reaching around the world. Be part of the life changing mission of Jesus Christ – put your DEVOTION IN MOTION!!!
