peacemakers MOVEMENT
EMPOWER OUR PEACEMAKING WORK — $75K GOAL BY THE END OF THE YEAR
What is the Peacemakers Movement?
The purpose of this movement is to see people from across the nation come together and take one step deeper into their journey of becoming a peacemaker. People all around us are aching for peace; a sense of wholeness, security, & harmony. Our work and witness to make peace in a world full of conflict and challenges is desperately needed. Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:9 “Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called children of God.” We have seen God use our ministry to equip and mobilize people into bringing the peace Jesus offers to people at the border and beyond. By sharing opportunities to engage in our work and providing faith-based resources, we hope to inspire you to join this movement right where you are.
Our work is made possible because of people like you who believe in our mission. Peacemaking will look different for each of us but we can all take one next step. We know that by joining together we can stretch our impact wider than we could do on our own. When peacemakers like you unite together, we know we will become an unstoppable movement of people living out Christ-like welcome and generosity.
Your Generosity Helps Us Mobilize Churches
“The Service-Learning Trip with Border Perspectives is a great way to do meaningful work with longstanding community ministry partners while also learning about the immigration process and putting names, faces, and stories into the conversation.” — MLPS City Church
Your Generosity Helps Local Immigrant Leaders
“When Mario watches people leave Border Missions with their hands full and smiles on their faces, he thinks of love — the holy and perfect love he believes is given to humans as a gift from God and shared from one person to the next. For him, that is the message he wants to share: Behind all of the food is a God who wants to freely give his love to others.”
Your Generosity Helps Us Equip Next-Gen Leaders
“As a member of this community, I wanted to join an organization dedicated to educating others about the immigration challenges we face. God can use anyone to help those in need, regardless of your faith or political affiliation. Being called to serve does not only involve physical labor, but building relationships too.” — Sarah, Next Gen Alumni
Our work is made possible because of people like you who believe in our mission.
We know that by joining together we can stretch our impact wider than we could do on our own. God has miraculously and abundantly provided again and again. We trust He will continue to do so through His people, people like you. When peacemakers like you unite together, we know we will become an unstoppable movement of people living out Christ-like welcome and generosity.
