2023 RICK LOVE AWARDS
Dr. Rick Love, the late Founder and President of Peace Catalyst International, dreamed of mobilizing people around the globe into a peacebuilding movement. Everyone who knew him knew this was his passion and that he worked tirelessly toward it. He founded Peace Catalyst because of that dream and dedicated the last ten years of his life to peacebuilding, courageously crossing social, political, and ideological divides and inviting others to do the same. He did so because of his Jesus-centered approach to all of life.
To honor Rick’s legacy, to further his vision, and to raise up more peacebuilders like him, Peace Catalyst will be presenting the 2nd annual Rick Love Peace Awards at Alliance for Peacebuilding’s PeaceCon in May of this year. These awards will honor those who creatively cross divides to build peace, exhibiting the same character and courage displayed by Rick. Get to know the 2022 winners here.
