In this Do Justice episode, Chris Orme talks with World Renew Disaster Response Services Director, Chris Gibson. Gibson, with a background in youth ministry, discusses DRS's 50-year mission of bringing help and hope to disaster-affected communities through long-term, collaborative recovery. He shares a powerful story from Rolling Fork, Mississippi, highlighting intergenerational service and the Kingdom of God in action. Gibson also addresses common challenges, stressing the importance of being invited into communities and serving the overlooked.
"I think I got a vision of a piece of what the Kingdom of God must look like in seeing these incredibly experienced, incredible talented and gifted older volunteers literally walking side-by-side with these younger college students."

Bert Adema: On Gifts, Gardens, and Good Samaritans
In this episode we speak with Bert Adema, Executive Director of Indigenous Christian Fellowship in Regina, Saskatchewan. Bert shares about 32 years of ministry, fostering a vibrant community by addressing spiritual and social needs. He emphasizes an incarnational approach, tackling the "messiness" of the world and advocating for right relations, not just reconciliation. Bert also reflects on finding hope and abundance amidst scarcity, powered by prayer, community, and trusting God's provision.
"If you're sitting there and you have no hope at all, you're really, really in a difficult situation. I think prayer is really, really important. And then when we pray in community... we say, 'What can we do together?'"
