Errol Naidoo, the founder and Director of Family Policy Institute (FPI), received a wonderful update from the United Nations (UN) last week. Errol has been fighting for family and faith in South Africa, and now has an invite to take this fight to the UN. Errol is a longstanding writer for JOY!, and a close ministry partner. He shared the following with us:
I received great news from the “UN Committee on NGO’s” last week. The Committee recommended Family Policy Institute (FPI) be granted ‘Special Consultative Status’ at the United Nations (UN). This means I now have access and authority to attend UN meetings that consider issues critical to faith, family and religious freedoms. I also have access to UN Ambassadors of member-states to lobby for pro-family resolutions.
I applied for ‘special consultative status’ at the UN in 2016. My application was deferred several times. However, I was invited to speak at a special UN event observing the “International Day of Families” in May 2019. While in New York, I requested and was granted a hearing from the UN Committee on NGO’s. On 20 May I personally presented to the Committee for the first time. This was a God-given opportunity that led to this breakthrough.
Family Policy Institute’s ‘Special Consultative Status” at the United Nations is critical for the following reasons. Several anti-family policies are inspired and driven by UN agencies. For example:
The Department of Basic Education (DBE) – guided by UNESCO – is pushing ahead with its plans to fully implement “Comprehensive Sexuality Education” (CSE) in South Africa’s public schools in 2021 to appease global abortion and sexual rights radicals. This diabolical agenda to sexually indoctrinate young children with perversion is funded by liberal billionaires like George Soros.
Significantly, CSE was never debated or adopted by the UN General Assembly. UN agencies like UNESCO, UNICEF and UNFPA promote CSE like it is a ratified UN program. It’s not! CSE is driven globally by a multi-million dollar sexual rights propaganda campaign. Most parents across the world reject this agenda.
Governments proposed “single marriage policy” is also driven by UN agencies and plan to abolish the Biblical ideal of marriage by declaring “all forms of marriage” equally valid. UN inspired “Hate crimes” laws will criminalise certain parts of the Bible and effectively outlaw any Biblical opposition to homosexuality, transgenderism and gender theory.
What government is doing is slowly dismantling the constitutional rights of Bible-believing Christians to publicly express their Biblical beliefs and convictions. Government has also partnered with global sexual rights radicals at the UN to redefine marriage and undermine parental rights by directly targeting innocent children with the dangerous sexual rights ideology.
Thankfully, the push back against CSE is growing in South Africa. However, government guided by UNESCO and its partners in the captured “religious sector” and the liberal media are escalating its misinformation campaign to deceive the public about the true origins and intent of CSE.
FPI is fighting back.
We are building a mass resistance movement to resist and defeat CSE and marriage redefinition. In addition, our allies in education are drafting a value-based, (health approach to sex-ed) alternative to CSE.
Family Policy Institute has been at the forefront of the battle for faith, family and freedom in South Africa for almost 12 years. We have fought and won many battles for Biblical values, the family, and religious freedoms. FPI hopes to continue its tireless work – reliably informing, educating and equipping the Body of Christ with the tools to expose and defeat this godless agenda.
Significantly, however, we cannot defend your rights, your family and your values on our own. We need your prayers and financial partnership to remain active and effective on the frontlines of the battles for faith, family and freedom.
Your prayers, partnership and participation matters! You and I can do more together than on our own. Please partner with FPI today and help us make a bold and uncompromising stand for Biblical values in South Africa!
