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.
