Jared describes his work of removing landmines left from the war which continue to make this region dangerous for local residents. He explains how this work is a tangible witness both to Christ’s love and to the power of radical enemy love for people whose lives have been torn apart by the horrors of modern warfare. This effort is a hands-on way of “turning swords into ploughshares,” as the prophet Isaiah describes.

Because of the sensitive nature of the work Jared is doing, we cannot name the location or the organization he and his family are serving with. If you would like to request information about this or support their work, please email Anabaptist Perspectives. Special thanks to Jared and his team for showing their work to Anabaptist Perspectives and for keeping us safe around these instruments of death.

This is the 294th episode of Anabaptist Perspectives, a podcast, blog, and YouTube channel that examines various aspects of conservative Anabaptist life and thought.
