Church Urged to Speak Out at Global Forums
Faith Facts
- Christian voices are needed in global policy discussions at the United Nations and beyond.
- Senior Pentecostal adviser Mikael Jägerskog emphasizes that churches provide a moral compass and practical solutions lacking in secular forums.
- Jägerskog urges believers to be courageous and engaged, acting as “salt and light” on the world stage.
The global church is called to participate actively in international forums like the United Nations, speaking truth and defending biblical values even when the world leans toward silence.
Pentecostal leader Mikael Jägerskog stresses the necessity for Christians to shape policies affecting justice, dignity, and the vulnerable, drawing on biblical principles and gospel-centered hope.
“Decisions made in global arenas ripple across the world and shape the daily realities of communities served by churches,”
Jägerskog highlighted, underscoring the church’s responsibility to engage.
Jägerskog points to the legacy of Christian engagement in social development, noting that while progress is fragile, the church must remain steadfast in advocating for the least of these.
He reminds believers.
“The church must be there…because we bring something the world desperately needs: local voices with local solutions and a moral compass rooted in the Gospel.”
Faith-based communities are not only spiritual guides but also serve as practical responders in times of crisis, offering hope anchored in Christ and striving for a future grounded in justice and compassion.
“Hope is not wishful thinking—it’s fuel for action. It drives us to advocate for dignity, challenge injustice, and build peace,”
Jägerskog encourages.
Now more than ever, Christians must answer the call to stand for truth, speak boldly with grace, and reflect Christ’s love in every arena of influence.
Let us step forward, trusting in the Lord as we defend faith, family, and freedom in the public square.
