WEA Calls for Faithful Witness at the UN
Faith Facts
- The World Evangelical Alliance (WEA) advocacy team encourages national alliances to reflect Christ’s courage, humility, and hope in international policymaking spaces.
- Panelists emphasized building meaningful relationships, translating biblical values into policy language, and amplifying unified evangelical voices globally.
- The WEA engages the UN on human rights, religious liberty, and human trafficking, urging Christians to bring gospel hope to international decision-making.
At the World Evangelical Alliance General Assembly in Seoul, the team underscored the calling for Christians to bring biblical presence into global leadership forums. Drawing from Queen Esther’s example, Dr. Janet Epp Buckingham explained biblical advocacy as entering places of influence with discernment and boldness.
“Despite her title, she had no real power,” Buckingham said. “Yet after praying and fasting, she chose to risk death by coming into the king’s presence. And the king saved her people.”
The panelists highlighted that faithful advocacy means relationship-building and honest conversations, not condemnation. The WEA seeks to amplify the voices of believers at national, regional, and global levels to promote justice and peace.
Director of Global Advocacy Kyle Wisdom stressed representing gospel truth in settings where spiritual language is rare, requiring careful translation of Christian concerns for policymakers. He pointed out the vital role of evangelicals in global discussions about security, justice, and protecting the vulnerable.
“We bring the messages from the household of faith into the halls of power,” Wisdom said. “Much of our work is an exercise in translation — translating the language of the gospel into the language of the United Nations.”
Jennifer Roemhildt Tunehag of the World Freedom Network addressed the Christian call to advocate for justice, particularly for victims of human trafficking, urging strategic partnerships to help the vulnerable recover dignity and hope.
“This is where theology needs advocacy,” Tunehag said. “Only states can identify victims of trafficking. Without identification, they have no path to justice, no support, and no hope.”
Gaëtan Roy concluded by encouraging believers to serve as “ambassadors of the hope of Christ,” reflecting humility and Christ-like love in global dialogue, and focusing on solution-driven conversations based on trust.
Join in prayer and action as Christ’s ambassadors, standing for righteousness, freedom, and the dignity of every person in the global public square.

Spain’s Congress Foreign Affairs Committee has approved a conservative Popular Party initiative to fortify protections for persecuted Christians worldwide, echoing biblical calls to defend the faith amid rising global threats.
MP Maribel Sánchez highlighted religious freedom as a core human right, enshrined in Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, serving as a vital measure of true democracy rooted in God’s design for human dignity.
“These are not isolated incidents”
declared Sánchez, but a
“structural pattern”
fueled by authoritarian regimes and wars eroding God-given freedoms.
PSOE’s socialist spokesperson accused conservatives of Islamophobia.
Vox and even some leftists affirmed the urgent need to safeguard vulnerable Christian minorities from kidnappings, assaults, and jihadist terror, upholding Judeo-Christian values.
“It’s not that everyone is being persecuted all the time, but they live in a context where they are vulnerable and their rights are limited in their daily lives”
notes Open Doors Spain director Ted Blake.
Stand with our persecuted brethren through prayer and advocacy—defend faith, family, and freedom as patriots rooted in Scripture.

- Praise God for Iran’s tested Church, serving with Christ’s love; even post-massacres, seekers turn to Jesus through believers’ compassion.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, architect of decades of repression including Christian persecution and massacres, was killed in US-Israeli strikes.
Despite ongoing chaos, Iranians show unprecedented openness to Christ, with the underground Church growing amid crisis.
“The underground Church in Iran has been tested through persecution, conflict, and economic crisis,” says David Yeghnazar of Elam Ministries.
“And through it all, by God’s grace, the Church has continued to grow. Even after the January massacres, people were turning to Christ as believers reached out with compassion.”
“Regardless of the direction in which things now develop politically, we are in a season of unprecedented openness to the gospel among Iranians.”
Join global Christians in fervent prayer for peace, God-fearing leaders, and bold Gospel witness to light Iran’s darkness as in Isaiah 60:1.

Yet beneath this appeal lies opposition to Christian principles on human dignity, life, and freedom.
Christians must reject such policies and support parties upholding faith, family, and freedom of conscience in Britain’s Parliament.
