Our video "True Love Ways"



Peacemakers are proud to present our new video. We hope that you will find this clip useful in understanding more about what peacemakers are doing in Kenya and about the Trekkers that gave up their time to raise money for those that need it most in Kenya.

Drugs Awareness

Peacemakers have in the last 9 months been very productive in their work within the area of drugs education and support. The Support Team consists of a Drugs Educator, a Youth Court Magistrate, mother of a former user and a recovered former user.

 




 En route to the mountain, we were overwhelmed with the welcome from local schoolchildren, dancers, drummers and singers in the field of a rural school in Runyenjes, near Embu. The highlight for me was a superb choral speaking piece called “Peacemakers”, in which the dancers and singers from Plainsview School rendered an appreciation of what the charitable trust had achieved in changing how people cared about their community. I was choked up with tears.

We then had to put all emotions away to get a good night’s sleep in before the drive to Mt Kenya. My stomach turned over and over with excitement and sheer fear at the sight of what we had to climb the following morning.

Drugs Awareness Home and away.

On Saturday November 11 a group of 10 Committee Members gathered at the beautiful setting of Shepalbury Manor in the heart of Stevenage for a day together to share thoughts and ideas, learn more about helping to promote Drugs Awareness in our local communities and to encourage each other in our own lives and work in the name of Jesus.

Peacemakers host residential convention

 Peacemakers have held a Convention in East Africa every year in the month of August, since our first one in 1991 held in the district of Meru. Our aim is to draw God’s people together from all denominations that own the name of Jesus, without partiality, as God has no favourites. To encourage the Spirit of Unity and for the Church of Jesus Christ to be seen as One.

This August was no exception. Plainsview Academy was hired for a week from 28th August – 3rd September. Those who had to travel and walk many miles to attend from the rural district of Runyenjes, were resident. Much had to be organised, mattresses bought or hired, cooks found for the catering of 3 basic meals a day and many more to ensure the success for the event.
