What does 𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘦 mean to you?

The Bible defines it as more than just the absence of conflict, but as a state of completeness. The Hebrew word ‘shalom’ translates to ‘making something whole’.

In this way, Biblical peace is more than just the absence of conflict; it is taking action to restore a broken situation.

At ICoHS, we want to be peace-makers, not just peace-keepers. We want to bravely pursue ‘shalom’ for the people of the Holy Land through action, advocacy and awareness.

Will you stand with us?
