"I came to shine with a passion and desire to understand more about tracking and exploitation . To learn practical and emotional tools to fight alongside this injustice in anyway and i can and this is exactly what shine gave me to opportunity to do both biblically and culturally. Most importantly shine showed me the Love and heartbreak Jesus has for this injustice and how even if we can just impact the one it this is what matters the most."

"There are few courses on the earth that educate on the issues of trafficking and exploitation from a Christ-centered spiritual lens, as well as a human rights lens. Over the years of speaking at SHINE in Amsterdam I have been so impressed by the leadership, the wide topics covered and the opportunities provided to gain deep understanding of a highly complex issue, right in the heart of one of the most public red-light district cities in the world. I am grateful to share lessons learned from my 15+ years of experience in 20 nations working in this field with hungry and passionate students who are being raised up by God to change the world and shining the light of His transformational love in the darkest places."
