The complexities of this world cry out for a more sophisticated interlocutor of the Christian faith, one who is as comfortable and conversant with geopolitical realities as with the historical verities of the faith. The Institute for Global Engagement was established to provide an informed Christian world view, one that would interact with a rapidly changing world with both credibility and relevance, and one that would best lend itself to effective problem solving generating a sustainable environment for religious freedom. Individuals are challenged to deepen their faith and encouraged to consciously examine how that faith can most productively intersect the world. Learnings are both promulgated widely as well as fed back into the academic environment. It is felt that these learnings must be effective in any Christian intervention.
Various organizations emphasize reporting on religious freedom issues.
Many are involved with advocacy work. The Institute for Global Engagement is virtually the only organization that consciously studies the causes of religious persecution and, by extension, long-term sustainable solutions, with an eye toward preemptive implementation in the field. In the process, emerging Christian leaders are better trained in global affairs, better methodologies are provided for solutions that endure and, most importantly, the best of the Christian faith emerges as a credible and relevant force in the world today.
