Dear CRI Partner,
Jacob Neusner observed that “civilization hangs suspended, from generation to generation, by the gossamer strand of memory.” He then issued this sobering warning: “If only one cohort of mothers and fathers fails to convey to its children what it has learned from its parents, then the great chain of learning and wisdom snaps.”
I don’t have to tell you how crucial it is to equip more Christians to understand and defend our faith with answers that are both biblically and logically consistent.
That’s why the mission of the Christian Research Institute is as vital today as it has ever been.
Whether it’s through the Bible Answer Man broadcast, the Hank Unplugged podcast, my son Dave Hanegraaff’s Commitment to Reality podcast, the Postmodern Realities podcast, the free online Christian Research Journal, our missions engagements in places like China and India, or the plethora of podcasts, videos, and articles available at equip.org, we’re providing Christians worldwide with the tools they need to stand for truth.
And whether it’s through our ongoing research, books, publications, speaking engagements, or expanding digital outreaches, by God’s grace we’re equipping thousands of Christians to confidently and effectively represent biblical truth.
For more than six decades, CRI has been privileged to provide those answers. Our vast resources—developed by diligent researchers and serious Christian scholars, thinkers, and writers—continue to provide a veritable oasis for believers and seekers alike.
Knowing you’re not alone—that you’re part of a steadfast remnant resolutely standing against the rising tide of biblical illiteracy and the many counterfeit ideas that threaten the authority of God’s Word—should be an encouragement. Through your faithful partnership, we’re able to produce resources like our recent dual-language issue of the Christian Research Journal exposing the Eastern Lightning cult, equipping readers throughout China with biblical truth in both Chinese and English.
Whether those challenges come in the form of counterfeit cults, Islam, gender ideology, AI and transhumanism, relativism, nihilism, scientific materialism, or atheism, our calling remains unchanged: to think and live Christianly, always being prepared to give a reason for the hope that is within us.
That’s my reason for writing.
Everything we do continues only because faithful friends and ministry partners like you make it possible.
Would you prayerfully consider making a generous gift today to help us maintain and expand these vital outreaches?

Your partnership and gift today will help ensure that these vital outreaches remain available to believers pursuing a firmer foundation for their faith and to seekers searching for trustworthy answers rooted in the eternal truths of God’s Word.
My deepest thanks for the critical difference your partnership makes. The help and encouragement you provide around the clock are more vital than you may ever know.
…because Life and Truth matter,
President
