Truett graduate Jeremy Courtney (MDiv ’04) was recently named Baylor University’s Young Alumnus of the year. Courtney cofounded Preemptive Love Coalition, a global coalition of peacemakers changing the way we engage the world’s most polarizing conflicts by confronting fear with acts of love. PLC performs emergency relief for families victimized by ISIS, lifesaving heart surgeries for children, peacemaking in conflict-zones, empowering grants for small business owners, education for at-risk children, and provides counsel to policymakers in D.C., London, Baghdad and beyond.

Courtney explains, “Food delivery and job creation is never just about that; it’s always pursuing a greater flourishing for the people involved. It’s a pursuit of peace in its fullest sense; not the absence of conflict, but the full-fledged embrace of someone of a different faith.”
