"Christians in the United States are deeply grateful for Paul Carden and CFAR's defense of the Gospel. But in other countries there are millions being taken captive by cults and they need Paul Carden and CFAR just as much as we do. Your support of CFAR will be translated into rescuing precious people in Latin America who are being exploited, confused, and even deceived by those who do not represent the truth." |
