In addition to long-term work involving a substantial investment of time, training and commitment, Christian Peacemaker Teams [1] sends short-term (7-14 day) delegations into crisis settings around the world.

These CPT delegations [2] link communities experiencing violence with concerned individuals, churches and civil society groups. Delegations offer participants a first-hand experience of CPT's on-the-ground experiment in active peacemaking grounded in Christian nonviolence. People are now being recruited to participate from May onwards. Details here [3].

Christian Peacemaker Teams also has a network in the UK [4].
