Please join us in praise for the launch of the newest language option for BWA Horizons Children and Youth Training. On Friday, January 27, leaders from across South Asia and the world gathered to celebrate the addition of Telugu to Horizon's available languages. BWA Horizons Director Jeff Carter says, "I have been encouraged by the addition of Telugu and Portuguese as new languages for Horizons. The growth coming from each region under the exceptional leadership of our Horizons team has born much fruit, and I give thanks for each of them and their giftedness. This will impact so many young leaders in youth and children ministry around the world!" Click to find out more about how God is at work through Horizons.

A Humble Prayer

Here am I before you, O my God.

Here am I, rich in misery and poverty,

and a cowardice without name.

Here am I before you, who are nothing but love and mercy.

Before you, but by your grace alone,

I am here, all of me,

with all my spirit,

all my heart,

all my will.

(Frère Bruno)
