PEACEBUILDING, JUSTICE, & RECONCILIATION

PEACEBUILDING, JUSTICE, AND RECONCILIATION

Injustice runs rampant when a community’s most vulnerable citizens do not have a voice. ALARM gives a voice to the vulnerable by training and equipping Christian leaders—including judges, lawyers, police and military officers, and government leaders—in biblical principles involving all aspects of peacebuilding, forgiveness, reconciliation, and definitions of godly justice. Without a voice for all citizens, relationships cannot reconcile and nations or communities cannot experience stability, peace, and development.
