PeaceWise
We believe that biblical peacemaking is the most hope-filled, practical and profound approach to dealing with conflict available to people.
Equipping people to use these principles to have stronger, better relationships is at the heart of what PeaceWise is about. We seek to help not only individuals, but also for whole communities to take on the character of living healthily in relationship using these principles- to build true communities of peace.
As relationships are maintained or reconciled using biblical principles, this also draws people closer to God himself – whether those who already know him, or those who have seen him demonstrated in a Christian approach to a conflict.
The gospel of peace both informs and is the heart of the hope God offers to all seeking to have better relationships both in this life and beyond.
