International Peacemakers Program, in existence since prior to 1988, are leaders who engage in peacemaking in their own areas of the world. They are invited by the Presbyterian Church (USA) to visit with Presbyterians in the US & to help us understand the peace & justice concerns of others around the world. This sharing translates into a better understanding of the peace & justice issues in our own communities.
