Taken series hero Liam Neeson is the voice behind a new video for Missio.

"Missio enables real change on the global level by supporting projects that help solve the world's largest problems, like hunger," he says.

Pope Francis and the Pontifical Mission Societies released the mobile app in 2013 as a tool to help people get involved in social justice projects around the world, directly from their phones.

Apparently Neeson had a particular set of skills they wanted to use. Learn more here or on the Missio site.
