Story from Chris Woodring, former MCC Service Worker

While living in Honduras, we have been homeschooling our children. On Friday it was my turn to teach phonics. As usual, I started the class with a song and a prayer and a little scripture reading. I read together with Johanan (6) and Milka (5) about how Jesus taught us to turn the other cheek...
Within a few hours we were given a test on this teaching of Jesus. While Johanan was playing in the yard a masked man with a large butcher knife jumped the fence and grabbed him. (read more)

What people are saying about peace.

"As long as there is poverty in the world, I can never be rich, even if I have a billion dollars. As long as diseases are rampant and millions of people in this world cannot expect to live more than 28 or 30 years, I can never be totally healthy... I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. This is the way our world is made." - Martin Luther King Jr.
