Impact Report
The year 2024 marks the 40th anniversary of BPFNA~Bautistas por la Paz, a milestone made possible by the dedication and generosity of our incredible community of peacemakers. For four decades, we have gathered, equipped, and mobilized justice-seekers across borders, dismantling systems of oppression and building paths toward peace. This year has been no exception—together, we’ve faced challenges with resilience and celebrated progress with hope.
As you explore this annual report, we invite you to reflect on the legacy we’ve built together and the road ahead. Thank you for being part of this journey and for continuing to make this vital work possible.
