THE CWR FOUNDATION There’s nothing like the written Word of God for showing you the way to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another – showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God’s way. Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the tasks God has for us. 2 Timothy 3:16—17 (The Message)
Copies of the full report and financial statements, audited by Mazars LLP, are available from CWR upon request.
