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.

Participate in God's mission

Join us in serving God’s mission by praying, giving or serving others.

Current projects include providing sanctuary to vulnerable immigrants on several continents, peacebuilding training in Africa, India and Latin America; and sharing human respect and dignity through workshops in church planting and women in leadership.

This year of work, community and church has reminded me over and over again that the place that God consistently shows up in our society is among those who are most vulnerable. Those on the edges, and in the shadows. God offers an invitation to us to join in and amplify that movement. That is the good news.

When people are empowered to work in their contexts, that’s a big thing! It means that many people can read the Bible and learn hermeneutics and speak a language that their local communities can understand, and that the gospel can grow and people can develop a relationship with Jesus Christ, within the context that they know.
