In this episode of We Are Vineyard, Josh Williams (Associate National Director of Justice & Evangelism) talks to Rob Morris about how his family came to Christ one at a time while he was growing up, and how getting burnt out in ministry led him back to Jesus and eventually to work with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) and Mercy Ships. Rob shares about becoming aware of the human trafficking industry, his first experience in an undercover investigation, and how that launched the work of Love146. Rob talks about the effectiveness of maintaining a posture of humility and learning, how defiant hope keeps them going, and some practical ways that you can help support the work. 

Rob Morris is the CEO and co-founder of Love146, an international human rights organization working to end child trafficking and exploitation. Prior to co-founding Love146, Rob worked with Mercy Ships International directing training schools at the International Operations Center. He has lectured and taught in over 20 countries on issues of justice, compassion, and human rights, and has been featured in the Huffington Post, the CNN Freedom Project, Forbes, WNPR, Alec Baldwin’s “Here’s the Thing” podcast on WNYC, Fox News, and more.
