Prisoners of Hope

Zechariah 9:11-12, 8:16-17

This morning, we welcome Dan and Rev. Sharon Buttry.

One of the goals of American Baptist International Ministries is to help people to pursue peace, justice and reconciliation through ministries of conflict transformation and education, as well as by standing with and serving the victims of conflict. This goal is led by Dan Buttry, who serves as an International Ministries global consultant for peace and justice. Dan works with International Ministries missionaries and national church partners around the world to deal constructively with conflict situations. These conflicts may be social and political conflicts within a country, or they may be conflicts within the national church bodies that negatively impact Christian witness.

In addition, Dan, in partnership with his wife, Rev. Sharon will train church and community leaders in conflict transformation skills, utilizing experiential education methodologies and Bible study. He will consult with church leaders about conflicts plaguing them, and in some situations he may participate in mediation teams between conflicted parties. They also will explore ways for people interested in conflict transformation to accompany him and develop training and facilitation skills alongside him.
