Charge the Darkness

In this final session from the 2018 M3 Conference, Gary Haugen teaches how the followers of Jesus can switch from playing defense to playing offense in a hurting world.  He will explore Jesus’ invitation to throw off the bondage of fear and despair to be authentic light in the darkest corners of the world.

Gary Haugen, JD, is the Founder and CEO of International Justice Mission (IJM). IJM is a global organization with a plan to eliminate the slave trade everywhere. They do so by rescuing slaves, working with police to throw slave owners in jail, and as laws are enforced, the business model of slavery becomes unprofitable putting slave owners out to business.  Click here to learn more about the work of IJM.
