Arranged through the denominational offices of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) in Louisville, Ky., the International Peacemakers Program has been in existence more than 20 years. International Peacemakers are leaders engaged in peacemaking in their own areas of the world and are invited by the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) to visit in the United States to help understand the peace and justice concerns of others around the world.
