July 18 - Ken Sande
is president of Peacemaker Ministries and author
of
The Peacemaker,
which has been translated into ten languages. He is passionate about
bringing the life-changing power of the gospel and the wisdom of God's
peacemaking principles into the lives of Christians and their churches.
His early experience in engineering and law fueled his desire to
dedicate his life to biblical peacemaking, resulting in his decision 25
years ago to found Peacemaker Ministries.
Ken has used biblical peacemaking
principles to minister to parties in hundreds of conflict situations
ranging from simple personal disputes to complex church, corporate, and
legal conflicts. He has written numerous resources on conflict
resolution and is in frequent demand as a conference speaker. His wife,

that's when I decided I'd rather be a preacher than marry one." In 1992,
she became the youngest of 50 Methodist bishops in America, one of only
six women.Bishop Swenson was awarded the
degree
Doctor of Divinity by her
