Nelson’s expertise will illuminate the power of legal strategies to dismantle barriers to religious freedom, offering practical solutions for advocacy and policy reform. His global perspective will inspire attendees to engage in the fight for persecuted Christians. Join us to hear Nelson and other influential leaders at this pivotal Summit.
