Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. – Matthew 5:9 (TNIV)
The World Evangelical Alliance Peace and Reconciliation Initiative (WEAPRI) has been established in order to respond to the extraordinary opportunity that 420 million evangelicals have, to reach out to the world as Peace-makers through the Church and Christian community internationally.
With its secretariat in Auckland, New Zealand and its governance maintained by an International Executive Committee of experienced practioners, WEAPRI was formally inaugurated in October 2008. As a network WEAPRI is in the early formative stages of building a viable coalition tasked with serving the Church in realizing it’s mandate of the Ministry of Reconciliation – 2 Corinthians 5:18
