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.

Doing MVS, specifically in Alamosa, exposed me to a new set of issues that I really hadn’t thought about before. From water use and agriculture, to rural homelessness. Each geographical area has their own issues. In order to truly be a part of a community, you need to learn about that community. And, in that learning, you’ll learn both the beautiful things and the areas where there’s work being done. That’s one thing I will take away.

I love the church community that we’re in. I appreciate them and they have been so warm and welcoming to us. We’re known in the community and they hold us with a lot of care. And that’s special.
