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.

I was placed in a nonprofit organization that serves refugees, and I found myself falling in love with the work and the people. I also really like San Antonio and all the opportunities that it has to offer young people like me willing to do service. I am very happy to stay with my placement organization and work with them for this amazing cause.

My year of serving with RAICES through the MVS program strengthened the idea of the importance of helping populations that need assistance as well as my desire to go into law. I became more aware of both the rewarding aspects of the work and the arduous, difficult parts in a legal position.
