Sam's Birthday Wish
I'm turning 24 on May 17!
This year I'm donating to a good cause: Christian Peacemaker Teams
This is why I'm donating my birthday
I don't need presents...but the world needs peace.
This is my cause
Christian Peacemaker Teams
Mission: To give support to persons committed to faith-based nonviolent alternatives in situations where lethal conflict is an immediate reality or is supported by public policy.
Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT) arose from a call in 1984 for Christians to devote the same discipline and self-sacrifice to nonviolent peacemaking that armies devote to war. Enlisting the whole church in an organized, nonviolent alternative to war …Read More
Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT) arose from a call in 1984 for Christians to devote the same discipline and self-sacrifice to nonviolent peacemaking that armies devote to war. Enlisting the whole church in an organized, nonviolent alternative to war, today CPT places violence-reduction teams in crisis situations and militarized areas around the world at the invitation of local peace and human rights workers. CPT embraces the vision of unarmed intervention waged by committed peacemakers ready to risk injury and death in bold attempts to transform lethal conflict through the nonviolent power of God’s truth and love. Initiated by Mennonites, Brethren and Quakers with broad ecumenical participation, CPT’s ministry of biblically-based and spiritually-centered peacemaking emphasizes creative public witness, nonviolent direct action and protection of human rights.
This is why I care
I work with Christian Peacemaker Teams in Palestine. Everyday I see Palestinians nonviolently resisting the injustice of the occupation; such as, violent attacks against children, the stealing of their land, and the demolition of their homes.
CPT has felt the crunch of the current worldwide financial crisis and thus need your help. Through your support we can continue to support nonviolent resistance to injustice and oppression, in Palestine, and across the globe. We can see peace and love conquer war and violence.
(Please get in touch with me if you want to donate to CPT in a different form than this.)
This is what I'm asking of my friends
I'm asking for $24, or whatever you can afford!
I've raised $1,855 of my $2,000 goal...
