Rick Love Peace Award
Dr. Rick Love, the late Founder and President of Peace Catalyst International, dreamed of mobilizing people around the globe into a peacemaking 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 peacemakers like him, Peace Catalyst is establishing the Rick Love Peace Award in 2022, to be presented at Alliance for Peacebuilding’s PeaceCon in January of next year. This award will honor those who creatively cross divides to build peace, exhibiting the same character and courage displayed by Rick.
Our goal is to present three awards in 2022:
Christian-Muslim peacebuilding Rick was deeply concerned about the deteriorating narratives surrounding Muslims in the United States and globally, and to honor his work and passion, as well as the roots of Peace Catalyst International, one award will be presented to an individual or group working specifically among Christians and Muslims.
Young innovators in peacebuilding Rick cared deeply about young people and wanted a new generation of peacebuilders to be raised up after him. We therefore hope to offer two awards to young people in university peace programs or elsewhere to jumpstart their work and provide them with a path to living out peace in the way modeled by Rick.
You can help us further the legacy and vision of Rick Love by sponsoring this award and providing the funds that will be presented to these up-and-coming peacebuilders.*
*All funds raised beyond this year’s award amounts will go toward next year’s award to help raise up even more future peacebuilders.
