What is “Shalom” anyway? And what is this blog about?
Shalom Means Peace … And So Much More. Shalom is the Hebrew word for holistic peace — peace that permeates every aspect of our lives and our being. It is a word used throughout scripture to describe the absolute joy, flourishing, fulfillment, and bliss found in the presence of God. It also conveys the beautiful, interdependent relationships that God’s people eternally share with Him, each other, and all of creation.
Nothing Broken… Nothing Missing… The way things are supposed to be. Shalom is what has come into the world through Christ, and is made complete when Christ returns and fully eradicates sin and death forever. God is glorified as Shalom happens. We have a mission as God’s people to discover and display the Shalom of God’s Kingdom to this hurting world by faithfully proclaiming the Gospel in WORD and DEED as we share life with our neighbors. This blog documents one Kingdom Family’s journey to Shalom…
My Grandfather, William T. Iverson, (95 years old now) has always been a mystic on a mission to love the hell out of humanity and see the shalom (holistic peace) of the Kingdom of God be put on display everywhere he went and in everything he did… Most of what I saw him doing my […]

What will you do with your breath? That’s the question of our times. That’s the question I hear our suffocating Savior Jesus asking us from the cross.
In the midst of life as we know it shutting down, something deeper is happening beneath the service in the heart of humanity… a necessary exposure and cleansing… a shifting in the priorities of our hearts… an awakening. My mother, who has raised 9 kids on the mission field of Japan and watched us grow, […]

Danny and Kimberly Iverson met while in college and fell in love 3 years later while Danny was leading an inner-city ministry in Newark, NJ. Their hearts for the disinvested spaces of society, and the conviction of God’s love and redemptive purposes for such places, drew them together on mission and continues to be a driving force as they follow God’s calling to discover and display an expression of the body of Christ that is focused on reconciliation and renewal. They love being on mission with their family of eight children – Daniel Josiah, Trinity, Katy-Grace, Benjamin Zion, Malachi, Judah, Gwennalyn and Joel. They currently live in Atlanta, GA and are sharing life with their neighbors and leading a house church and community development organization called Restore Life.
