Disciples Peace Fellowship (DPF) celebrated and challenged a crowd of 200 this morning at its breakfast featuring all organic, locally grown food. Co-moderator Robert Crawford started the celebration by reminding attendees of biblical calls to peace. Bruce Ervin, first-ever peace intern for DPF in 1975, continued the mood by witnessing to the impact DPF had on his life: "The internship for me meant the difference between a life in the church or not."
Kristin Walling, one of this year’s interns, exclaimed the DPF intern program is "great because so many people don’t realize that you can have jobs just making peace."
Director Kathy Coggins said more than 2,000 youth are reached each summer by DPF interns, making the DPF intern influence on youth and young adults "the largest young person effort in the Disciples of Christ."
