Sharing stories is good for the mind and the soul! Today, the Global Horizons team had the opportunity to connect in person with one of our project directors, Bill Shook.
Over coffee, we exchanged updates, explored ideas ranging from AI to fundraising, and encouraged one another. The conversation left us energized and inspired. While much of our work happens through emails and online meetings, there is something special about gathering face-to-face. God created us for relationship, and taking time to listen, learn, and share together is a gift.
Bill has a deep commitment to missions, serving on multiple ministry teams.
With Global Horizons, Bill is the director of Iriba Shalom's USA chapter. Their team walks alongside the survivors of the genocide in Rwanda, offering trauma healing, sustainable support, and reconciliation through the love of Jesus. Learn more at: https://globalhz.org/iriba-shalom-usa/
Bill also serves on the advisory team for Pochalla Hope Church, a growing church plant in rural South Sudan. What began as a congregation meeting under a tree is now a sustainable church that families can reach on foot and gather as Christians. Learn more at: https://globalhz.org/pochalla-hope-church/
Thank you, Bill, for your dedicated service and for helping bring people together to strengthen communities around the world!
