Furthering God's love and mission for the world
Being a peacemaker does not require any special abilities, just will and desire. This identity and intentionality of making peace with God and others permeates every part of life: home, work, schools, communities, and nations. A peacemaker seeks shalom with all people and all of creation.

Having grown up in Swaziland, I learned the history of apartheid. I came on this trip thinking I might learn a thing or two, but was very surprised by how much I learned and how much I had to unlearn. It’s not the job of minorities or people of color to identify the racism, the systemic injustices and oppression. That is on us to find creative ways of stopping counteracting those. I’m returning home with a renewed sense that what I do and how I interact in the world make a difference.

Tucson, is an intergenerational community. The Shalom Fellowship, especially, is intergenerational. It’s something that I want to continue being a part of. I think it’s important to have community with people who are the same age as me and doing similar things, but also to be in community with people who are younger than me and people who are older than me. Both sides have a lot of wisdom to share and I have things to share with everyone else as well.
