OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The charitable purposes of Peacemaker Trust are:
-
The advancement of the Christian religion particularly but not exclusively in countries where the Christian faith is a minority by any means as the trustees shall in their discretion determine.
-

Peacemaker Trust became a registered charity in January 2017 and was launched on 6th May 2017 at Christ Church, Virginia Water in Surrey.
Because of government restrictions on travel and meetings, in the year June 2020 – May 2021, the work of Peacemaker Trust has engaged with and promoted partner projects by arranging zoom meetings, conferences and interviews and by publishing these on the Peacemaker website and other forms of social media.
Projects have included: Surfers not Street Children, South Africa; Nile Valley Foundation, Cairo; Christianity Explored East Africa; Southampton & Winchester Visitors Group; Sabeel-Kairos UK; Humanitarian Aid Relief Trust; Book Aid Charitable Trust; Living Stones of the Holy Land Trust; Jewish Network for Palestine; and Palestine Coordination Network.
As a trustee of Southampton & Winchester Visitors Group, despite covid restrictions, Dr Sizer has continued to support around 80 asylum seekers in Southampton and Winchester and, together with the Refugee Council and other agencies, has been engaging with the British government’s consultation, urging it to soften its hostile stance toward refugees. From September -December 2020, Dr Sizer helped coordinate weekly deliveries of food for 25 families of asylum seekers living in Southampton. He has also contributed to monthly committee meetings developing policy, strategy and promotion of the charity.
Dr Sizer is a regional collector for Book Aid Charitable Trust and has made monthly deliveries of donated Christian books to the Book Aid depot in Southsea.
Dr Sizer is a trustee of the Living Stones of the Holy Land Trust and has participated in quarterly trustee meetings as well as manage the Living Stones website and Facebook page.
In July 2020, Dr Sizer was invited to join a theological working group as part of the Middle East Ecumenical Forum and World Communion of Reformed Churches. The group is composed of eight theologians in the USA, Germany, Tanzania and Palestine. The priorities are:
-
' - Building conversations with the interdenominational heads of communion
-
' - Creating an interfaith community to reach a global level of advocacy for Palestine
-
' - Engaging the Global South
In August 2020, Dr Sizer gave a presentation on Christian Zionism in a zoom conference arranged by the United Methodist Church Federation, USA.
In September 2020, Dr Sizer was elected to the Executive of Sabeel-Kairos UK.

In February 2021, Dr Sizer contributed to an online interfaith gathering for religious leaders committed to strengthening the Good Friday Agreement facilitated by church leaders in Rostrevor, Northern Ireland. The meeting focussed on the theme of repentance (held on the day before Ash Wednesday). Dr Sizer gave a short biblical exposition based on Mark 1:1-4, showing that biblical repentance is a positive doctrine associated with believing the good news of Jesus Christ.
In April 2021, Dr Sizer participated in an online debate with Dr Michael Brown,a US TV host, author, apologist, and proponent of Messianic Judaism, Christian Zionism and the Charismatic Movement. The theme of the debate was "Has the Church replaced Israel?". The programme will be aired in the Summer or Autumn of 2021.

Dr Sizer has also helped draft a JNP document 'Convivencia: Towards a Just Coexistence in Palestine/Israel and Elsewhere - Common History Inspiring Collective Action' which will be launched at the School of Oriental and Asian Studies (SOAS), University of London, in mid-September.
In planning the activities for the year, the trustees reviewed the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.
