In this theologically rich conversation with NAE President Walter Kim, Gary reflects on how a biblical vision of justice — rooted in love and expressed through both personal compassion and systemic reform — has shaped his life and IJM’s mission. 

In their conversation, you’ll hear:

• How a life-changing investigation after the Rwandan genocide led Gary to found International Justice Mission; 
• The role of the Church to call rulers to protect the vulnerable; 
• Practical ways believers can join God’s work of justice both locally and globally; and 
• What gives Gary enduring hope for the future of the Church — and the work of justice.
