Global Outreach or GO Teams are the other type of teams sponsored by Horizon. GO Teams include many different aspects of service in the effort to provide Hope for AIDS orphans. The following is a list of different types of teams with brief descriptions of the different possibilities. Other aspects of GO Teams are also included.
Types of GO Teams:
- Adventure Teams:   Adventure Teams are designed around the idea of facilitating ministry and involvement with students or children in one of Horizon’s ministry centers. They could include retreats for African teenage orphans, Vacation Bible School style ministry for children, or other ideas a church or team may develop for these groups. Adventure Teams are a great opportunity for family mission teams.
- Construction Teams:Â With the growing infrastructure of Horizon there are always needs to construct new or rehabilitate existing ministry facilities. Construction Teams are organized around a specific project that has been approved by Horizon or to work on projects funded by the GO Team or the sending organization.
- Conference Teams: There is a growing opportunity to interact with our African leaders to give them leadership and training resources. This would include teams that would facilitate specific ministry such as women’ or men’s conferences. Educating and resourcing leaders has a beneficial ripple effect that positively affects the suffering children. Conference Teams are organized around the idea of providing resources that will facilitate learning environments where we can mutually share our intellectual and spiritual resources with one another.
- Professional Skills Teams: Medical, emotional, and financial needs abound. Professional Teams are organized around the goal of interacting with Africans for the purpose of bringing relief in these areas. Medical, Mental health and Financial professionals are encouraged to offer their gifts and talents in ways that bring relief to the children and their caregivers. These could include clinics or training seminars.
- Note: Â Some combination of these activities on one team is possible and often preferable. Regardless of the scope of the team, interaction with children is always a high priority.
