Editor’s Note: On April 3-4, 2018, a joint effort of The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) and The Gospel Coalition (TGC) hosted the national conference “MLK50: Gospel Reflections from the Mountaintop,” celebrating the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. What the conference failed to mention was the lack of moral integrity of Martin Luther King, Jr. In every sense of the word, MLK was a sex trafficker, whether it was by paying prostitues for sex shows for the entertainment of his cronies or all night orgies with prostitutes.
It should also be noted that the best tool against human trafficking is a border wall which Russell Moore, the President of the ERLC “called a ‘golden calf,’ likening it to idolatry.”
[The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission] A few years ago, two successful corporate executives teamed up to fight human trafficking. Kevin Malone, the former general manager of the L.A. Dodgers, and Geoff Rogers, a former vice president of IBM, founded the U.S. Institute Against Human Trafficking. Jeff and Travis spoke with Kevin and Geoff during the 2019 Evangelicals for Life conference about how God called them to this fight and their work to build trafficking free zones in local communities.

Geoff Rogers entered the hi-tech corporate world at IBM after graduating summa cum laude from the University of Notre Dame. In just 7 years’ time, Geoff rose quickly to the rank of Vice President at IBM while running a North American software division. But as his corporate climb continued, the call of God was drawing him closer to ministry, and as he puts it, each rung on the corporate ladder became more and more hollow. Geoff and his wife Kerri co-founded the U.S. Institute Against Human Trafficking with Kevin Malone, where Geoff serves as the CEO of the organization, applying his vast business skills to the ministry. Geoff and Kerri have been married for 20 years. They place tremendous value on their family and enjoy spending time with their three amazing boys.
