Every church has its own role in reaching the world for Christ—its unique calling in the Great Commission, according to its distinctive story, blend of people, and giftings. We believe that local churches are God’s chosen instrument in the world to reach the unreached. As churches deepen their connection to global missions, their members and leaders experience the fulfillment of being the hands and feet that bring Christ’s message to the world.
At Horizons, we are passionate about collaborating with local churches to make disciples of all nations. The missions field is not just abroad, but it is all around us every day—in our cities, college campuses, and workplaces. Horizons International comes alongside churches to reach internationals, and especially Muslims, through short-term and long-term missions, prayer opportunities, training courses, and conferences. Our goal? To help your church leverage its resources and giftings to make maximum impact for the Kingdom, at home and abroad.
How can we help your church connect with new missions opportunities?
Pray
Prayer connect us with God’s love for the unreached. Horizons has many avenues for engaging churches in prayer for Muslims. These include a monthly prayer calendar, as well as regular updates through our newsletter, emails, and social media. We would love to work with your church as you develop a strategy to pray intentionally for the nations.

Annie Ostrander, Mobilizer and Missionary to the Middle East
After serving as Horizons’ first intern in Beirut, Annie Ostrander ministered as full-time missions staff in Lebanon for 4.5 years. Her missions experience includes working with Syrian refugee children at the School of Hope, engaging with Horizons’ evangelism teams in Beirut, and conducted gospel and humanitarian visits to refugee families in the Beqaa Valley tent camps. As she has transitioned back to the U.S., she is helping to connect churches with ministry opportunities. She is passionate about sharing at churches about her experience and empowering local churches to make a global impact.Financial support gives congregations opportunities to strategically impact under-resourced areas of God’s Kingdom. Horizons can connect churches with trusted children’s ministry, church planting and development, relief work, discipleship of Muslim converts, and more, give your church the opportunity to make a difference in the areas you are passionate about.
Get Trained
Training builds church members’ confidence and understanding of how to engage in effective ministry. Because Horizons’ approach to missions to Muslims has been so fruitful, we’ve developed training events, conferences, internships, and online courses that help church members to become effective evangelists and disciplers.
Go
Serving abroad allows church members to experience firsthand what God is doing among the unreached of the world. Horizons’ extensive ministry network in Lebanon allows us to host hundreds of short-term teams, internships, and long-term missionaries who feel called to the Muslim world. Our trips enable believers to share their gifts with churches in the Middle East, whether through tech skills, media, worship arts, medical services, or evangelism. We also offer virtual vision trips that connect your church members with on-the-ground ministry in Beirut from the comfort of their homes.
