not of the world but in it

There is no doubt that the 21st century has delivered new challenges for Christians that were unimaginable even 20 years ago when New Horizon began. Living faithfully as a follower of Christ can now be an isolating experience in our world where the very existence of God and the uniqueness of Jesus are under question. Yet this is the new context in which we are to speak and live the Good News, and rather than remove ourselves from the world, Scripture challenges us to locate ourselves in it.

This is new territory for many of us as we seek to discover how we can practically and positively be ‘salt’ and ‘light’ in this changing world. If we believe that the Christian worldview is the only one that makes sense of the world that we live in, then we need to seriously engage with God and the truth of His Word. Only then can we face this world with hope, with love, and ‘wise’ faith. This is the aim and purpose of New Horizon 2008 and our prayer is that all who come will experience the God of the past, present and future; and return home better able to love and live out faith in this complex world.
