The Christian Mission for the United Nations Community is a non-denominational Christian organization based at the United Nations serving as a spiritual resource and encourager for government officials and others who are seeking solutions to the problems confronting our world.
The Christian Mission for the United Nations Community is motivated by a concern for mankind and a love and respect for those who are seeking to solve the problems facing the global community. They are convinced that there is a God who has created mankind out of love and that He is actively working out His plan for individuals and nations today. They are convinced that it is of paramount importance for individuals and nations to understand the mind and plans of the One who is working out their destiny. Otherwise, mankind could be fighting the very One trying to promote well-being and, as a result, bring unnecessary suffering.
The Christian Mission for the United Nations Community also believes that the spiritual dimension is important personally for those serving their nations. They agree with the late Dr. Charles Malik, the former Lebanese Ambassador to the U.N., who served as President of the Thirteenth General Assembly, when he said, "The needs of the world are much deeper than political freedom and security, much deeper than social justice and economic development, much deeper than democracy and progress...The deeper needs of the world belong to the sphere of the mind, the heart and the spirit, a sphere to be penetrated with the light and grace of Jesus Christ."
The Christian Mission for the United Nations Community focuses a large part of its energies on government officials who are either posted at the United Nations or who visit the U.N. in the service of their nations. The members of this team research and write on Biblical principles for national development. They also make themselves available to serve those in national leadership.
The ideas that led to the establishment of the Christian Mission for the United Nations Community developed during the years following 1978, when Dr. Gary Allen and his wife, Elaine, began serving the U.N. community and travelling to serve those in leadership throughout the world. The Christian Mission for the United Nations Community is an independent organization, not affiliated with any denomination.
This effort receives all of its finances from the contributions of private individuals plus a few church congregations, who believe in what they are doing. No funds are received from government agencies. The strict standards of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability are adhered to.
Dr. Gary Allen is President of the Christian Mission for the United Nations Community. Dr. Allen is an internationally known brain scientist. He worked under the Australian Nobel Laureate Sir John Eccles and later succeeded him as Director of the world-renowned Laboratory of Neurobiology at the State University of New York at Buffalo. He has also served on the faculties of the University of California at Berkeley and New York Medical College.
