Everyday Peacemaking
Tired of being buffeted by conflict around you? Wondering what God is doing when peace is absent? This first course will help you focus on what God is doing in your everyday relationships and help you be someone who makes peace rather than fakes it or breaks it!
Our presenters
Paul Arundell
Paul has been involved in Christian education as a teacher, principal and administrator for the past 37 years. He loves the way that PeaceWise training and materials equip God’s people to transform conflict from messy crisis to Gospel restoration and reconciliation. His own early teaching career was saved from what seemed like a hopeless breakdown with his supervisor to an enduring friendship using Biblical PeaceWise principles. Now with PeaceWise tools, he has been blessed to be able to support teachers, students and church communities in building cultures of peace. Married with 3 adult children who all love God, he has a passion for remote hiking and outback touring in this wonderful country that we are blessed to call home.

- gain powerful peacemaking principles and relational tools
- understand the biblical foundations of peace and reconciliation
- discover gracious ways to deal with difficult people

This level of training is suitable for all Christians as we work together to promote peacemaking in our own lives, families, workplaces, churches and communities.
