Creating a Better Story Together
peace begins with me
Amplify Peace is a global movement promoting the principles of peacemaking to create change in our world through transformational immersive encounters locally and globally.
You can be a part of the movement that is intentionally seeking to listen to stories that need to be heard and need to be shared. It takes courage: to listen. . . to be present. . . to create change. . . to amplify peace!
The only way to peace is through the work of peacemaking. Will you say YES?
Listen. Learn. Live.

Event Details
There is a common feeling among much of our Native American population that they have been “unseen” among us. This Immersive Encounter will help us to open our eyes and begin the journey of “seeing”. We believe this is an important part of Amplifying Peace and provides an opportunity to listen to history and stories we have never taken the time to hear before. It will cause a disruption in our hearts as we find we have too often only listened to one side of a story and, as we have found, there can be danger in a single story. This subject is far too important and too vast to limit to a one-day encounter. We have organized this experience for people to go deeply into this encounter, if they wish, or spend just one day gaining insight.
This opportunity will set the background for understanding future encounters. Our speaker will be Kristine Firethunder. She has a unique perspective and one you will not want to miss!

The Bible is clear in God’s emphatic call to “love the immigrant as we love ourselves” – Leviticus 19:34. The Bible is clear in that we have been given the ministry of reconciliation – Matthew 22:37-39. The Bible is clear that God, in a very real sense, judges the authenticity of our faith by how we welcome the immigrant – Matthew 25:40. And The Bible is clear that we can only relate rightly to our immigrant neighbor; most of whom share the bond of brothers and sister in Christ; through empathy, compassion, and love because of how Jesus who has brought us foreigners and welcomed us into the Kingdom of God – Ephesians 2:12-14. The Neighbor’s Table: Experiencing God’s Heart for the Immigrant invites pastors with their small groups from our local churches willing to enter a six session journey to experience God’s heart for the immigrant in a deeper, more profound way. It is our desire and commitment to help you lead your congregation forward to better see and know God’s heart for others. We hope this becomes a tool to deepen your congregation’s love for God, people, and help us all take steps toward reconciliation within the Bride of Christ.
The Neighbor’s Table is a project sponsored by three partners, The SURGE Network, Neighborhood Ministries and ASU. We are each troubled by the division, racial tension, fear, and anxiety that seem to color every national and local conversation in the media. For Neighborhood Ministries, this is more than news headlines, it is the everyday experience of families we have loved and served for 40 years in the heart of Phoenix. For our SURGE pastors, we are concerned that only 12% of evangelical Christians say their views around immigration are mostly shaped by the Bible, our flock is being discipled by someone other than Jesus. Our partner, ASU, secured a small grant to study this project.

Trip Status: OPEN
OVERVIEW
Holy Land Encounter
Join other women leaders from around the globe as we embark on a unique journey of the Holy Land. Expect a “not so typical” trip that ushers in personal and communal transformation, where the history of faith meets a history of conflict.
As influencers, we will learn about issues of power, persecution, politics, and possession that have divided the land in the present day. We will hear from a wide spectrum of voices, across Israeli and Palestinian society, in order to experience the vastly different realities of Jewish, Christian and Muslim communities who call this land ‘home’, and how those differences present both opportunities and obstacles for peacemaking.
We will listen and lean in, even when it’s uncomfortable and especially when we disagree; we will learn beyond sound bites and rhetoric; we will be inspired by those who live amidst conflict everyday and yet still choose to amplify peace; we will be implicated about our own responsibility to address conflict and the unique role we can each play to bring restoration and redemption; and we will build deep relationships and experience the vibrant and joyful cultures of the Holy Land.
