From Canada’s poorest neighborhood to the slums of Indonesia, Jason G. Porterfield (MA in Theology, Fuller Seminary) has lived in places most people would rather avoid. His passion is to cultivate God’s shalom wherever it is painfully absent and to help churches embrace their peacemaking vocation.

Jason is currently writing his first book, entitled Resurrecting Peace: How Jesus Tackled Injustice, Loved Enemies and Contended for Peace on Each Day of Holy Week. The book equips readers with practical peacemaking tools as it examines how Jesus worked for peace throughout his final week.
