This World Humanitarian Day, Andrew Urquhart sits down with Stephen Court, Director of International Partnerships for World Vision New Zealand, to talk about nearly 20 years spent serving in some of the world's hardest places. Stephen shares his journey from a childhood in Nauru to almost six years living in Ethiopia with his young family, through riots, kidnapping, and civil war, and reflects on what keeps him going when he sees the best and worst of humanity every day. He talks candidly about holy anger, the 13 year old girl who changed how he sees hope, and how Kiwis can respond as global humanitarian funding continues to fall.
