- For Americans, slavery is the stuff of history books, sailing ships and shackles. Richard Lee's work with International Justice Mission shines a light on the complex socioeconomics of modern day slavery around the world, and offers hope for combatting it. Richard Lee serves as a Director of Church Mobilization for International Justice Mission. This role affords him the opportunity to equip churches and communities by sharing the biblical call to seek justice, introducing them to IJM’s work, and mobilizing them to engage in both local and global ministry.
Previously, Richard served as Campus Pastor at Liquid Church at their fastest-growing campus in Mountainside, New Jersey. Prior to that, he served as Lead Pastor at Bethany Well Church. He also started and led 2 networks for pastors, providing accountability and encouragement for local pastors. In addition, Richard has served as a Missions Field Director and Team Leader for missions trips around the globe, including trips to Mexico, China, and Ukraine. He is available to speak at church engagements, anti-human trafficking groups, and a variety of conferences. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Excellent way to start with the $20 + debt bondage. Really good talk, Richard. Thank you.
Talker: Can I borrow twenty dollars?
Talker: This twenty dollars that you just gave me.
Loaner: hold up
Passionate presentation and he knew his stuff.
Amazing. Keep up the good work & hope this crucial message is heard across the world
I gave $20 to a homeless guy and he cried and almost hugged me which freaked me out a bit. It was like I gave him a $100 or more.
Tbh I kind of regretted giving $20 away. I wasn't really in a financial position to do so and my mom would've gotten angry for wasting that money away but the guy was really happy and he seemed to need it more than me.
He may of been a drug addict or alcoholic the 20 dollars you gave him could of been used to purchase more. Next time if you want to help someone you should buy them food instead of giving the money.
The true value here lies in the trust that you put into this person's hands.
Good job, you did a hard thing. I like to ask people what they want to eat and if they have eaten anything yet and then buy two of their favorite meal with a two beverages and then whatever change is left, i give them that. Try that.

Powerful and motivating
Three years and not even 30k views. Tells you all you need to know.
People don’t want to know the truth . They in in a fantasy reality
People would rather live in fantasy than reality
Perfect talk. It shakes you. Wonderful.
Man, you're doing a great work.God bless you for your bravery and heroism!!🙄👍🙏
Good presentations.thank you!
I feel like he said very little in 17 minutes of talking, but his spreading of awareness for the topic is a good thing
Eye opening and heart breaking. Why can't police just seize the rich villain and take all his assets? The weakness of the law system is mind boggling
Because the police protect the rich
Thank you.
Wow, thank you for 5he 2onderf7l work 5hat you are doing.
Thank-you Richard for an insightful look at what modern slavery is and how to end it. I guess to end slavery, one has to establish a knowledge base of what it means to not just be enslaved but the history of the oppression of slavery to an individual, groups, families and the country they're enslaved in. Thanks again Richard.
very Impressive !
I had to go to the end first to make sure he returned the $20, then I was able to watch comfortably.
Chinese subtitles is needed in this video
Also how about the Drug Slaves. Arrest the drug dealers, selling illegal narcotics, not the addicts. Then help those people instead of just leaving them with their addictions, or on the streets. Help them after.
He talks about all these people his organization free's but they also lose their jobs, how does he help them gain money independently?
They don’t get payed in the first place.. that’s kinda the thing about slavery
How can we stop the law / government / courts to create slavery ( prison industrial complex) in the USA? On the international stage we ( the USA) provided and implemented very good results to end human trafficking/ slavery and yet we have double standards in the USA.
Meanwhile in america it takes 3 hours to make that $20 on minwage

God bless THIS brave ppl...Folks like this ARE the heroes...not someone shamelessly wearing revealing dresses
I think u should more focus on ppl , flaunting their wealth and selfishness to go clubbing and stealing and buying clothes, alcohol, living their luxurious life indirectly on the backs of slaves.
Especially in Asia
Lets give this guy all our money because he has pitty for modern slaves. Sure the slaves will like that. ✌
Nice name for speaking about slavery
C'est vrai! Alors: STOP PAYING TAXES.

This is barbaric act and is not acceptable. Every man needs freedom. Slaves owner should be jailed for life.
What about modern slavery..
what do you consider as modern slavery because to me, 2016 is quite a modern year
In short, trading your VALUABLE TIME and labor for money.
That's wage slavery
@@matthiasschuster9505 I agree with you
Please think about The Father’s laziness
What's the difference between TED and TEDx?
