Jesus really is King of kings!<\/p>\n<p>We merged with the National Council for Christian Standards in Society in 2009. Our charitable objects are: \u2018the promotion of the principles of historical biblical Christianity and the information and education of the national public and of responsible authorities on the basis of these principles in particular&#8230;\u2019<\/p>\n<p>In the UK we uphold our Christian constitution and bring scripture to bear on current events, informing parliamentarians and the public and giving Christians the information they need to fulfil their Christian duty to pray for those in authority and take action, often by writing to their MP.<\/p>\n<p>In the past we have also stood up for our Lord countering blasphemy, most notably against Jerry Springer the Opera in 2006.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this is done out of love for our land. Scripture tells us a nation will be blessed if it follows God\u2019s ways. We want the UK to have that blessing. We want things to \u2018go well\u2019:<\/p>\n<p><strong>2Chron 12:12 And when he (Rehoboam) humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: and also in Judah things went well.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The same applies to any and every nation. Therefore, overseas, we empower Christians to expose evil and stand up for righteousness in their nation. Western governments and foundations are trying to export immorality, flooding activist NGOs in the Caribbean, Africa and Asia with money to agitate for legalised abortion, unnatural offences and transgenderism. Not one pro-abortion or pro-sodomy NGO in the developing world is locally funded. Every single one is effectively a foreign agent.<\/p>\n<p>So we are alerting Christians in Africa to give them the tools to stand up, pray into this and speak to dignitaries, MPs, Chiefs, Pastors, Dignitaries to encourage them to resist Western cultural imperialism. Christians in the UK are used to funding and building schools, churches and orphanages in the developing world. Our added ingredient is to think of the society those children will growing up into. Will it be dissolute and rebellious like the UK? Or will it walk in the ways of the Lord and be blessed? The Lord is raising up overseas Christian Voice affiliates rapidly. Our job is to keep up with him!<\/p>\n<h2>Please read on!<\/h2>\n<p>This article continues in the sections below:<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"font-size: 18px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #000000;
