March Update 2023

“Their sorrow was turned to joy and their mourning to a day of celebration.”

Esther 9:22

It is just five months until we gather in Coleraine for a feast of Bible teaching, fellowship and worship.  We pray that God will speak powerfully to us through His Word and that our lives will be enriched as we come together this summer.

Over the coming months, we’ll be introducing our main stage speakers to you as we look forward to New Horizon 2023: 5 – 11 August in Coleraine.  

Introducing Tony Horsfall

Tony Horsfall

We are delighted that Tony Horsfall will be leading our 10am Morning Bible Teaching sessions from Monday 7 August to Friday 11 August in the Big Blue Tent.

After graduating from London School of Theology, Tony served as a missionary in East Malaysia, then as a pastor in West Yorkshire before heading up a missions training programme called EQUIP at Bawtry Hall (Doncaster). Since 2004, he has had his own ministry, Charis Training (www.charistraining.co.uk) and has a passion to see people grow in their relationship with God and become effective servants of God in life and ministry. He is the author of more than a dozen books, including Rhythms of GraceWorking from a place of RestDeep calls to Deep and most recently, Grief Notes.

Tony is deeply committed to providing care for those in Christian ministry at home and overseas, and loves nothing better than to lead people on retreat, taking quality time to be with God. He has been a regular seminar speaker at New Horizon for many years.

Bible Teaching at New Horizon

Thanks to your generosity,  New Horizon  is able to bring teaching, refreshment and transformation to people from across Northern Ireland and beyond.   If you plan to join us in August, why not partner with us and spread the cost by setting up a monthly standing order?  This would help us greatly as we seek to cover the costs of the event.

Volunteering with New Horizon

Volunteering at New Horizon is an amazing way to experience the event, to make new friends and serve the church in Northern Ireland.   Teams work hard but also have so much fun.  Teams spend time praying together, an opportunity to draw closer to God and to see exciting answers to prayer throughout the week.
