Charitable Status

Donations in the US and Canada are tax-deductable. In the US, CPT is a 501(c)3 charity.

An Investment in Real Peace

Military forces in Canada, the United States and the United Nations spend US$150,000 or Cdn$220,000 per soldier per year to maintain a war-fighting or "peace-keeping" capability.

It costs money to keep Christian peacemakers in the field too: money for travel, subsistence stipends, and communications equipment. But the cost of one of our peacemakers is only one-tenth that of a soldier. And our teams are many more times effective in reducing violence and contributing to real peace and lasting security.

Prayer Support

Churches, meetings, and small groups pray for our workers and partners using the weekly Prayers for Peacemakers published on CPTNet or using their own prayers. If you would like to subscribe to CPTNet click here. If you are not a subscriber but wish to receive the short weekly Prayers for Peacemakers, send an e-message to canada [at] cpt [dot] org and we will add you to our list of those who receive our prayer requests.
