WHAT WE DO (Click any key title for more info)  1. Outreach – We put on a large event each 3rd Saturday and reach out to the lost, homeless, broken, and needy!  Reaching out is also interwoven into all of our every day activities as well.  2. Discipleship/Aftercare – Our Jesus House is a place where struggling men can come and reside in a caring environment to help them forward in life.  Our women’s home will be starting again soon in a new…

Unity In John 17, Jesus prayed a lengthy prayer to the Father before He went to the cross. John 17:20-21 “Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; that they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, they they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou has sent me.” That part of the prayer was directly for…

The Sloppiest Drunk On Chene St! I had my mind blown at today’s outreach at Peacemakers!  It was towards the end of the event, and I was standing in the background talking with somebody.  About 50 feet away my eyes met with another man who seemed to be smiling and walking towards me.  As I focused in on his face, slowly it dawned on me who it was.  It was Samuel!  I had not seen Samuel in probably 10 years. …

Our Native American Families A place in need of healing. Much brokenness and despair. A feeling of “people don’t care”, a “we’ve been left alone to die and disappear from the face of the earth.” Many cries from many of our hearts from many generations have come up to the ears of the Creator. He has heard us, we must believe, or we will cease to exist. No one will answer the cries of our hearts to come help us,…

Brief History Of How We Got Here…… Well, I suppose you could say that it goes all the way back to 1974. That would take us into the life of a 25 year old heroin addicted alcoholic named Steve Upshur. Steve had lived in Detroit most of his life, primarily growing up on the West Side.  As he ventured into his teen age years, like many of us he began to hang out with the wrong crowd and get into…

The Younger Generation Will Lead! At Peacemakers International, one of the things that we do is travel around and fellowship with many different churches, in many different directions. As I have been moving about lately, I have been noticing a pattern wherever I go.  The Younger Generation is taking the bull by the horns, and moving to the forefront! It is exciting to see!  There is a unique move of God happening with teenagers and people in their 20’s.  It…

What Is P.I.? What is Peacemakers International? That’s a good question.  Do you have 3 minutes? We love to help people with their drug addictions.  — but its more than that. We provide food and clothing for the needy.  — but that’s only part of it. We have Sunday services.  — but we are vastly different than the average church. We put on outdoor events to bless the people of the inner city in multiple ways.  — but that’s just…

Peacemakers International was birthed to reach the lost, to give hope to the hopeless and help to the helpless; to demonstrate the love of God to the outcasts and rejected of society.  We are here to make a difference in the lives of men and women and to help establish God’s standard in their lives. Peacemakers International is also a teaching and training facility to develop leaders and followers to do the work of the ministry. We have committed ourselves…
