While representing the U.S. as a former International Basketball Player and Business Executive, and prior to being ordained into Ministry, H.I.M Founder developed a passion for International Peace Building. But it was not until his first Peace Building Mission Briefing in 2011 at U.N. Headquarters as a Non Government Organization, (NGO) Representative that he came to appreciate the brevity of Peace Building, receiving more in-depth knowledge of the U.N. and its primary responsibilities of international peacekeeping, building and security. Getting indoctrinated on how U.N. Officials work to prevent conflict, helping parties in conflict and making peace; creating conditions to allow peace to hold and flourish. Challenged by U.N. Officials in its efforts to increasingly find new ways to bring together key factors from across the public, private and civil society, H.I.M via its Founder partnered with the U.N. Peace Building Support Office (PBSO) as a supporting NGO. Recognizing that Peace building is task for everyone, from national governments, civil societies and local communities to international partners in order to create and maintain sustainable peace. The U.N. often utilizes Economic Sanctions and sometimes imposes more severe actions. However, frequently missing from the resolution equation is necessary input and support from a council of Global Religious Leaders as a whole. As a PBSO, NGO H.I.M urges in country and multi-stakeholder to fund and support the enactment of the U.N. Religious Council in show of a National ownership and solidarity among Religious Leaders around the world. Help H.I.M to urge the U.N. PBSO to foster the inclusion of Religious Leaders from around the world, to have a systematic impact and global voice, pertaining to the millions of lives in which Religious Leaders mutually share influence and maintain vital responsibility.
