About Us:
Peter Mann and Cynthia Arnold are the founders of Import Peace. Peter now serves as the President of the Board of Directors.  He was one of the 100 in the Presbyterian Peacemaking Program's 2006 travel and study event in Israel and Palestine.  When Peter saw the grave economic realities of the occupied territories he wanted to make a difference, and formed Import Peace.

Chad Ellertson is a senior at Pequot Lakes High School and sits on the board of directors at Import Peace.  He enjoys canoing, hiking, fishing, hunting, and just hanging out with friends. After high school he plans to attend college and major in international relations. He works as a barista at Lakes Latte in Pequot Lakes.

Cynthia Arnold  is the creative force behind the scenes.  After meeting one another on the first "Steps Towards Peace" sponsored by the Presbyterian Church (USA) in Palestine and Israel, Peter, Chad, Cynthia and Arloa Ellertson teamed up to form Import Peace.  Like many of the 100 peacemakers on the trip many have returned to the U.S. to grow economic development projects through Fair Trade, promote tourism and work together to find a just peace for all in this land of the Holy One!

Join us to foster peace, economic sustainability and justice for all people living in the Middle East!
