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.

Why wouldn’t you do MVS? You get to live in a new city for a year or two. You’re not really paying for anything besides what you choose to. And, you get to take a break from whatever path you’re on and try something else. If it doesn’t end up being for you, then that’s fine and you can hop right back to where you were. But you might learn a lot about yourself along the way or find something new that you really love. I think that’s a risk worth taking.
