“I am very grateful that I get to contribute to building religious freedom around the world via my efforts with IGE. I believe our approach to alleviate social issues due to religious intolerance through relational diplomacy is one that empowers both nations and IGE. I believe our approach of relational diplomacy is one that brings about peaceful social change, and one that reflects Christ’s love. I am very grateful to be a part of such a great organization, and sincerely enthused to contribute.”
