Do the math...in 1945 there were 14 out of 42 agencies that were faith based - that's 33.3%. Today, there are 400 out of 4,000 agencies - that's 10%. Faith based organizations have made a large exodus from being tied to the UN.
Many of these same countries in the UN are the very countries that are persecuting Christians and robbing their own people because of their own greed. They are holding their own people hostage in a state of poverty, and abusing women and children by trafficking them or denying them rights.
Yes, I believe we should have open dialog with the governments of these nations so we can keep the door open for faith based agencies to get into the country. However, we should not work with them under the umbrella of the UN. Our identity should be the Lord, not as a group that's being recognized and identified with the UN or any other governmental agency.

Worse than the U.N. Secretary General's appeal to "Evanjellycals," is the fact that some of them might even decide to follow this wolf in sheep's clothing. What do we need the U.N. for, anyway? They are a bane to the nation. Most of the nations hate this country and the best thing we can do is throw them out of New York and go to another spot where they can all have their mutual admiration society!!! As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter a bit what this Secretary General says - I'm against it!!!!

REPENT, FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND!!!!
