What is “The Peaceable Kingdom Project”?
God created everything and because it is his all creation is magnificent
God created every living thing on the earth and gave mankind “dominion” over the animals- commanding us to care for them. This dominion is simply the opportunity to love God concretely by protecting and nurturing our fellow creatures. Animals live at the mercy of people, we can treat them as we please without fear of repercussion.
The Peaceable Kingdom Project is a ministry that is focused on uniting followers of Jesus who are compelled to speak up for His animals and work with organizations actively engaged in their welfare. We build relationships with people and faith communities working to protect animals while promoting the faith values that call upon us to act with compassion towards all creatures. Our prayer is that God would change the hearts of his people – that they would see a “who” not a “what” when they look at an animal.
If God’s dominion is love why should humanity’s dominion be torture, abuse and killing?
