January 2020 update
My Horizon colleagues travelled to visit partner schools and conduct training in Ukraine late last year. One of the partners told them how vital the role of Horizon is as the school seeks to reach nearby countries. Those countries are resistant to the gospel and difficult to enter. The partner said that online education allows […]
