Blessed are the Peacemakers for they will be called the Children of God

According to the LWF strategy 2019-2024, it states: “Ensure the meaningful participation of youth in church and society: We will promote intergenerational engagement on topical issues for church and society.” Thus, young people are seen as active contributors to change and peace.

Additionally, the LWF seeks to “Strengthen local and global advocacy to promote human rights and protect the rights of marginalized communities: We will build on grassroots experience and knowledge to bring local human rights issues and realities to the global arena.” As part of this growing support for youth empowerment, LWF is committed to support young people to be equipped with the skills to positively engage in peacebuilding.
