Tree of Life Celebrates Hope

Thinking about peace and justice today. I desire to be a part of the solution to poverty and warfare, joining what God is up to right now. I believe in peace, justice and hope entering people’s lives. I love these two images, they are both of an collaborative effort by artists in Mozambique. The project is called the Tree of Life. Made completely from decommissioned guns. Below is a short video explaining the project. Incredible! I love the man’s explanation, “You can’t make peace with guns.” I hope we are the generation that sees the development of our neighbors in oppressive nations, and the rise of peacemakers in all nations. I am excited by efforts to provide basic human needs, and efforts to be a voice for those who are not heard.
