CHURCHES FOR LIFE

In the past, “life issues” included one peril: abortion. Today, however, “life issues” encompass many concerns recognized as threats to the life and welfare of human beings. All these topics are important because God made humans in His image, thus giving them intrinsic dignity and value. The gospel affirms and deepens this Christian distinctive by displaying Christ, the Son of God, who lived, died, and rose again to redeem human beings as His beloved for all eternity. Among all God’s creatures, humans are most prized and valuable! Click here for detailed information on this life-affirming ministry.

CHRISTIAN RESOURCES INTERNATIONAL

Christian Resources International was founded by Logan Papworth in the 1950s with a simple conviction: that in order to fulfill Jesus’ command to “Go and make disciples…” (Matt. 28:19), Christians in other countries need access to resources that will help them, particularly the Bible. And in America, we have a unique advantage to help. In our experience, most American Christians own more than one Bible and often have several laying around. When we compare that with the fact that many pastors and missionaries don’t have a Bible of their own at all, we are compelled to do something about it.

We’d like to invite you to join us on this Great Commission! Together, we can make a difference that is exponentially greater than what our individual abilities could produce. Ready to get involved? Become a Book Missionary with CRI! If you have Bibles, commentaries, biblical dictionaries, etc. laying around, bring them to the church and we will provide the means to ship them to needy pastors. Or, go to CRI's web site, click here to sign up for the Bare Your Bookshelf project.
