Julius-Lutalo Kiyingi
Regional Steward East Africa & Malawi
Project Manager Uganda
Our project manager in Uganda, Julius-Lutalo Kiyingi, joined Love Justice International in 2018. Julius brought with him extensive experience from working with other NGOs in areas ranging from transitional justice to refugees, with the latter experience being the foundation for his dedicated work to fight human trafficking. Julius is very passionate about human rights, social justice issues, and giving a voice to the voiceless. He shares, "The reason why I do this work is simple: to put a human face to the indignity of human trafficking. In Uganda, and many countries in the region, so many victims and potential victims are lured, deceived, and trapped in situations they never intended or imagined. Many of these are young children, many of them from poor rural families—the invisible children we as a society have chosen to ignore for too long. My job is to break that cycle and shed light on one of the world’s greatest injustices.” Contact Julius.

Brad and Rachel Wells
Brad and Rachel met in their senior year at Iowa State University when they both joined a ministry that shares the love of Jesus with international students. Brad majored in software engineering. Rachel majored in global resource systems, and was (and still is) deeply interested in anti-trafficking work. After graduating and moving to Omaha, Nebraska, in 2015, Brad found work as a corporate software developer while Rachel served refugees in the area at a nonprofit. As they discussed marriage, they decided together that Brad would continue his corporate work for five years, and then they would move overseas. In those five years, they got married, traveled, had a daughter (Petra, born in 2019), and Rachel switched to another nonprofit. In early 2020, with the five-year mark approaching, Brad Googled “Christian software company.” Within a day, by God’s grace, Rachel and Brad were in contact with LJI, who could use both Brad’s technical skills and also Rachel’s management skills and God-given passion to fight one of the world’s greatest injustices. After applying and starting to plan, COVID hit, and everything got turned upside down! Click here to give to support the Wells. Contact Brad. Contact Rachel.

CJ Philander
Anti-Trafficking Field Officer
CJ's passion for Christ and justice started at a young age, prompting her to use what was already in her hands to serve others. Her home is South Africa, where she studied at a university. Growing up, she was exposed to Christ's love in the midst of heartaches and wanted to share this freedom with others. Once she learned about human trafficking, this then led her to step out of full-time ministry to serve in a different type of "ministry." Eventually, this journey led to the Love Justice family in 2018, when she started working as a transit monitor at South Africa's largest airport. From there, she transitioned to working as an anti-trafficking field officer at the end of 2019. CJ and her husband, Bradley, relocated to Cape Town aka "The Mother City" during their first year of marriage. Contact CJ.

In 2021, Annie worked on an organic vegetable farm in Cape Town, where God instilled a dream in her heart to establish a garden where people can experience the presence of God. She is excited to see how God will knit together her four great passions: statistics, gardening, community, and leadership. For now, she is serving Him by pursuing her love of statistics as a data scientist at Love Justice. Contact Adomei.

Nikki Still
International Spiritual Director
Executive Chairperson South Africa
Nikki grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa, and studied business science marketing at the University of Cape Town. It was there that she was saved. After working in investment banking, marketing, and then in a social venture capital firm that was aimed at creating jobs for low-skilled workers, she fell ill with chronic fatigue syndrome and was forced to stop working. It was during this time that God started stirring in her the dream of fighting for victims of human trafficking. Despite having no experience in the field, no energy, and no funds, she laid herself down at the incredible resources of Jesus and prayed. God led her to Love Justice and their model of intervention before trafficking could occur, and together they piloted the first operation in South Africa. Their first intercept changed so many things for her; it made her realize that it is truly in our weakness that He is made strong, and that He is able to do much with those who are willing to follow the call to love others. Contact Nikki.
Nick Wilson
Software Developer
Siana and Nick live in Omaha, Nebraska, and are in the process of joining LJI. While they were engaged, they attended the CROSS19 missions conference. It was there that they both decided that they wanted to leave the U.S. and engage in kingdom work globally, with an emphasis on sharing the gospel of Jesus with unreached people groups. After getting married and having their first child, they began exploring organizations and eventually found LJI. They love that LJI is calling and equipping the Church to engage in justice ministry as a witness to the power of the gospel and to the glory of Jesus.
