Annual Report 2015 - Christian Peacemaker Teams

We at CPT are so grateful for the support of peacemakers like you. Take a look at our financial summary, and see just how much your contribution does for our peacemaking work. Over 50% of our funding comes from individual supporters, and 90% of our spending is on our programming and our peacemaking corps combined. Your contributions and support couldn’t come at a better time. At a time when Christian communities in the Global South are facing increasing pressures and Islamophobia is rising at alarming rates in the Global North, we remember that Muslim and Christian peacemakers have long walked together and worked together on all levels of society for the glory of God and the edification of humanity. We’ve labored shoulder to shoulder. At CPT, your contributions ensure we can continue to labor shoulder to shoulder. In Palestine, Muslim and Christian team members work together in Hebron against human rights abuses, as Israeli military killings of Palestinians at checkpoints has increased and demolitions continue at an unrelenting pace. We held our second training in Iraqi Kurdistan, ensuring our work among multiple faiths continues there - the antithesis to violence aimed at erasing diversity. In Colombia , our work with farming communities goes on - the search for justice does not end when peace talks begin. Our Indigenous Peoples Solidarity team continues to work with Indigenous communities, doing peacemaking work confronting environmental violence - a violence that can be nearly invisible even as its consequences can be fatal. This year, as Executive Director I’ve experienced deep communion, new conflicts, immense beauty, important questions, and every emotion. These are things that I need to sort through as a 21st century peacemaker, and I’m grateful CPT is a courageous community in which to do this. Thank you for being on this rich journey with us.
