Mission and vision

Justice begins with a renewed mind.

Mission

To reach, disciple and equip students and advocates in the spheres of law and government with biblical truth, so they can serve Christ and improve justice in their nations.

Vision

To see a new generation of Christian students and young advocates able to view vexing social issues in their countries through the lens of scripture, and who seek to love their neighbors as themselves by working together to solve injustices.

We are a Christian international ministry working where the law meets real lives — in classrooms, courtrooms, legislatures and churches. Our conviction is simple: nations flourish when their justice systems are shaped by God's character.

Featured course

Biblical Worldview on Law, Justice and Government

This 12-week online extension studies course will help students, advocates, educators and ministry leaders understand how legal and justice systems can help nations develop, grow and flourish when they are built according to biblical principles.

  • Recognise the role of Creation and apologetics in shaping law and justice.
  • Develop a servant-hearted approach to helping victims of injustice and strengthening national justice systems.
  • Study historical and modern political and economic systems through a biblical lens, understanding their impact on justice and development.
  • Learn biblical definitions of law, justice, rights and government, rooted in love and God's design.

Global impact

Ten advocacy-justice service areas

We spotlight these ten areas because they represent the justice issues most countries have to contend with, to varying degrees. Breaking a subject as large as injustice into smaller, bite-size pieces means good information can be aimed straight at specific issues.

  • 1.Interceding (praying) for justice

  • 2.Upholding rule of law and combating corruption

  • 3.Defending religious and similar basic liberties

  • 4.Seeking justice for the poor, needy and oppressed

  • 5.Stopping sex trafficking and modern day slavery

  • 6.Protecting innocent human life

  • 7.Safeguarding traditional marriage and family, sex and gender identity

  • 8.Pursuing peace and reconciliation

  • 9.Assisting sustainable development and humanitarian aid

  • 10.Advancing health justice

Students choose one area and apply their research to it in their own community or nation.

In their own words

Stories From Students We Equipped

I am grateful for the opportunity to have taken the Biblical Christian Worldview on Law, Justice and Government course. The teaching, readings, and discussions have deepened my understanding of how God's character and purposes relate to law, governance, and public life. I especially appreciated the way the course consistently brought Scripture into conversation with real-world systems and challenges. It has given me new language and tools to think about my work, and it will certainly shape how I serve in the justice sector and in the academy going forward.
