A small group of key leaders are meeting at the United Nations in New York City Thursday-Friday Sept 17 (beginning at 1pm to allow time to fly in that morning)…and ending by 4pm on Friday Sept 18 (to allow time to fly out that evening) for a very important reason.
Key issues: Keeping abortion from becoming an “international right” … and standing with nations who are willing to stand against the destruction of the family, and who are taking a stand against transgenderism, and advocating for religious liberty in an increasingly authoritarian-totalitarian world.
Goal: To Advance
protection of life in the womb
biblical marriage,
religious freedom
and many other values that we all care deeply about
With at least 40 nations of the world. With God’s help, and your presence and support, we are in hopes of seeing that number increase from 40 to many more nations.
Why now? Severn Reasons:
Timing Reason No 1: It is urgent that we do this while we still have some time, while there are 2 1/2 years left in the Trump Administration.
Timing Reason No 2: After our Sept 17-18, Thurs afternoon-Friday meeting, is the General Assembly of the United Nations, with presidents, prime ministers and kings from the 193 nations which are members of the UN. If we delay, we will have to wait an entire year for the next time when the world’s government leaders are gathered.
Timing Reason No 3: China continues to increase its influence and control to many nations with their “carrot” of the “China belt and road initiative.” This is deadly to the nations of the earth. China’s influence is lethal to all the values we cherish. We need to show the smaller nations that there are nations and persons who are resisting China’s dominance. The smaller nations of the world fear China.
Timing Reason No 4: Even worse, the European Union is pressuring every nation to violate fundamental biblical principles. The EU, once the bastion of Western Civilization, has done enormous damage to the very value of the civilization it once created. It is important that we make it clear that the EU does notrepresent our values, and there are people who oppose EU objectives.
Timing Reason No 5: Under Obama and Biden, the U.S. coerced many nations to support abortion, same sex (so-called) “marriage," homosexuality, and transgenderism. This happened all over Africa and Latin America. Under Trump, the nations have not been coerced into depravity, but neither have then been urged into that what is good and right. The U.S. has not asked them to take a stand on these issues at all. Let me assure you, based on conversations with persons at the U.N., our meeting will be a welcome event for those nations who are trying to stand for that which is good. Succinctly stated, you are needed.
We had a small ministry, led by former Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, at the United Nations from 2017 until 2020 when Covid shut the doors of the Secretariatin NYC. Our little delegation met privately with 93 of the 193 Ambassadors of the UN. The Ambassadors from the small Pacific rim nations have biblical values. But they are extremely fearful of the “big guys,” the U.S., China, Russia, etc. They will NOT speak out, if they think they might “offend.” These nations need encouragement from people with our transcendent values. Once again, you are needed.
Timing Reason No 6: This meeting was originally inspired by Aaron Lara, founder of the 33 member nation Ibero-American (Spanish and Portuguese nations) Congress on Life and the Family in Latin America. I spoke at his Congress in Uruguay in 2025, and Dominican Republic in 2026. He is the one behind the scenes who pushed for us to "seize the moment” and do it now, while we have some “wind in our backs.” A number of countries in Latin America now actually have good, solid governments.
Timing Reason No 7: My wife, Rosemary Schindler Garlow, and I have attended all three ARC (Alliance for Responsible Citizenship) Conferences in London, during the last few years. We just returned from the third ARC event in London last month. There were 4,500 delegates from 100 countries, featuring 180 speakers, at the conference founded by Canadian Psychologist Jordan Peterson and Baroness Philippa Stroud, member of the House of Lords, and wife of Evangelical Pastor David Stroud.
ARC is a direct challenge to the anti-Western Civilization World Economic Forum, and other organizations like the World Health Organization. This event openly affirms that Judeo-Christian values are the only hope for the world. If you would have attended this event, with at least 20% of the crowd being young adults, you would be so encouraged globally. There is a remnant which is increasingly vocal and articulate, emboldened by truth. Now is the time.
