As always, Jesus is our model. In the pages of Scripture, we read story after story of how Jesus first met the immediate needs of those he came across. Then he shared his life-changing message of eternal hope.  Traditionally, churches have worked in their communities through activities like door-to-door witnessing, inviting newcomers to Sunday services, or other church assimilation practices. While those activities have great merit on a personal level, Local P.E.A.C.E. offers you an opportunity to not simply share Christ, but to literally become Jesus to someone in your community. As you love them through meeting not only their spiritual but also their social, educational, emotional, and physical needs, “ they will witness the eyes, hands, and feet of a living Savior through you.”

Plant Churches
…to push back the giant of spiritual emptiness

Equip Servant Leaders
…to push back the giant of corrupt leadership

Assist the Poor
…to push back the giant of extreme poverty

Care for the Sick
…to push back the giant of pandemic diseases and care for those who suffer from them

Educate the Next Generation
…to push back the giant of illiteracy and lack of education

Jesus modeled the elements of the P.E.A.C.E. strategy during his earthly ministry: he started the church, he set himself against the legalistic leaders of his day, he fed the hungry, he healed the sick, and he taught the disciples. The same global giants Jesus addressed exist everywhere today—in nations around the world, and in our cities, towns, and rural communities.
