We must cultivate political will among American leaders to end the “forgotten” Korean war. It is long past time for the Korean people to have the peace and sovereignty they need to determine their own future. Here are some ways you can learn about the ongoing war and advocate for peace.

As we approach Good Friday in Palestine, I wanted to share what is on my mind, because today, as Palestinians, we walk a similar path that the disciples walked two thousand years ago.

Peace Catalyst’s team member Moses Abolade is working tirelessly to provide resources and training opportunities to equip Africa’s peacebuilders for effective, long-lasting change across the African continent. His work focuses on faith-based peacebuilding, youth leadership, and media-driven learning that empowers communities across divides.

The work of peacemaking and fighting for justice is an act of worship and connects us to Jesus. It is the transformative work of the “good news” that Jesus proclaimed and taught. 

World Water Day is March 22, and as people seeking shalom in the world, creation care is part of our calling. How are peacebuilding and water conservation related, you ask? Read the full post, and consider how you might change your individual habits and work to influence corporate patterns that result in harm to our world and our societies.

Our worldview influences our beliefs, values, decisions, and behaviors. So by visualizing these connections, we can better understand the relationship between what we believe at the deepest level and the “fruit” that our lives produce. Here’s what a truly shalom-oriented worldview looks like.

Discipling the nations is not simply about getting people to believe in Jesus, but also about teaching them to live like Jesus, which can only happen when we listen to and obey what Jesus actually taught. So what did he actually teach? Here’s a reminder.

With so much bad news threatening to drown out hope, I felt challenged to write down a positive vision. If you feel that all your effort for good is in vain, remember that Jesus told his friends how to respond in these moments—to feed the hungry, welcome strangers, clothe the naked, heal the sick, and visit prisoners (Matt. 25). May Christians be known for such love.

At first glance, the work of Peace Catalyst International can seem puzzling. We build friendships across divides, step into difficult conflicts, critique the church’s entanglements with power, and insist that following Jesus means engaging in the messy, public, political work of peacebuilding. Some Christians look at this and wonder, “Why so much self-criticism? Doesn’t that just tear down the church?”, “Isn’t this getting too political? Shouldn’t the church focus on spiritual things?”, “And most importantly: how does this kind of peacebuilding relate to evangelism and the gospel?” In what follows, I want to walk through these questions—not to dismiss them, but to show why they are exactly the kinds of questions the gospel compels us to wrestle with.
