ANNUAL REPORT 2024 World Horizons USA office was established in Richmond in 1985. Today, World Horizons has teams and ac vity in more than thirty na ons. However, the birthplace of the ministry is the town of Llanelli in South Wales, in the United Kingdom. The North Dock Center, also established in 1985 has been developed as a mul -purpose ministry center. It houses the offices of World Horizons UK and other ministries and businesses, and is home to Y Doc (The Dock in Welsh), a hostel providing accommoda on for many groups and travelers. Un l recently a large part of the former industrial warehouse remained underu lized. This space is now being redeveloped as The Crea ve Space, for a mul tude of purposes. In December of 2024 a Christmas Fair was hosted as an outreach to the community; at other mes community groups use the space for their ac vi es, including theater, choir and youth orchestra, art therapy workshops and studio-filming.
Skye Young, a member of World Horizons USA who previously served the Edit Gallery in Richmond, moved to Wales with her husband, Zach, and now serves as the director of the Crea ve Space. She states: Crea ve Space exists to encourage people to discover and explore their crea vity and iden ty. As believers, we consider the act of crea ng to be a form of worship and that we are all innately crea ve, as reflec ons of our Creator. With the forma on of the Crea ve Space, we desire to see a space shaped by its community that celebrates the diverse expressions of the individual, as well as what weaves us together as humans. Through open studio me, workshops, gallery exhibi ons, markets, and a program of community events, we foster a space for the folks of the region to explore place, belonging, and iden ty. During 2024 Skye was also able to begin development of a community garden as an outdoor addi on to the Crea ve Space. We look forward to seeing how the Lord will use all aspects of His Crea ve Space to build His Kingdom in this Welsh community.
