Seeking peace and offering refuge

In times of regional strife and struggle, International Ministries is called upon by local Christian partners to send missionaries trained in peace and conflict resolution. From India to the Middle East to S.E. Asia, IM missionaries have trained warring leaders on how to come to peaceful settlement under difficult circumstances. International Ministries also works with people seeking refuge from violence or persecution in their home countries. IM missionaries are working with U.S. churches to welcome tens of thousands of ethnic Burmese refugees fleeing decades of violence and repression to find new homes and churches in the U.S.
