In this episode, I speak with Andrew Larsen ('15) and Rahel Ambachew ('22) about peacebuilding, justice work, and vocational discernment. They share their thoughts on the meaning of peace as well as some practical tools for peacebuilding in everyday life.
During his time at PLU, Andrew majored in Religion and Anthropology and minored in Political Science. He was in the first cohort of the Wild Hope Fellows, studied away in Bosnia, Serbia, and Italy, and was a Peace Scholar in 2014. After graduating, he was a Peace Corps volunteer in Comoros. He is now a Program Associate in Justice, Peace and Human Rights working in the Philippines with Global Ministries and its partners.

Rahel is currently a junior at PLU, and majoring in Biology. Rahel is an Act Six Scholar, was a Peace Scholar in 2020, and is also a Wild Hope Fellow. Rahel works as the youth program director at a local community center and interns for Fred Hutch Cancer Research center. She is also the co-founder of Youth Voices for Justice (@youthvoicesforjustice) which seeks to fight systemic racism against BIPOC communities in South King County through mutual aid efforts and pressuring politicians to make a change.
