PEACE Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.
Mathew 11:28 A Hebrew word that embodies peace is shalom. It is used as both a greeting and farewell.

Shalom is holistic, it pertains to economic and societal prosperity and success, and to an individual’s welfare and completeness. Shalom is possible in your life, family, and workplace as Jesus Christ becomes the Lord in each of the said spheres. Shalom! “Peace is the beauty life. It is sunshine. It is the smile of a child, the love of a mother, the joy of a father, the togetherness of a family. It is the advancement of man, the Menachem Begin victory of a just cause, the triumph of truth.” “Without peace, all other dreams vanish and are reduced to Jawaharial Nehru ashes.” DECLARATION
