Our Richmond team serves in four main ways: The administrative and pastoral support of our team members around the world; advocacy, education, and promotion toward opportunities to serve in the nations; and local outreach to refugees and migrants.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#1A8B8E” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”b4dd792a-4255-4c36-bf2f-50cb4094bd64″ custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_color=”off” background_enable_image=”off” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.worldhorizons.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Asia-Minor-pexels-meruyert-gonullu-7698069.jpg” title_text=”Asia-Minor-pexels-meruyert-gonullu-7698069″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” filter_hue_rotate=”305deg” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#1A8B8E” custom_padding=”12%|6%|8%|6%|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_testimonial _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”59e1295c-f37e-45ee-90ae-76256a924fbf” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]Our team has two major aims: church planting and ministry training. \u00a0We have sent families to cities around T\u00fcrkiye to assist nationals in local church planting.
