One additional note to consider if you are in the United States: all of the books from the Biblical Foundations for the Christian Faith series are available for sale on Amazon in the $5.25 – $9.60 range. The sale price includes just enough to cover the cost of printing, publication, and distribution plus a $1.00 donation to missions. If you are planning to print a number of these resources, the convenience and affordability of the Amazon option may outweigh the trouble of printing the resources on your own. Nevertheless, both options are available for your choosing.

Due to incidents of Facebook and Instagram accounts soliciting funds in the name of Paul Washer or HeartCry Missionary Society, we are forced to request pages and groups to remove any content that may be either misleading or misrepresentative.

We respectfully ask that users remove “Paul Washer” from account/group names.

We respectfully ask that images of Paul Washer and HeartCry logos be removed from header images/cover photos and profile pictures.

This is not in anyway to suggest or imply that all existing accounts have been using any such content in an inappropriate manner, but we are making a general request to all Paul Washer and HeartCry related accounts.

Users may continue to post videos, quotes, and other content as long as the profile/group or page does not contain solely or predominately “Paul Washer” related content.

Users may use images of Paul Washer if included in header images that are not solely, or predominately, representing Paul Washer or HeartCry Missionary Society (a collage or group photo).

Thank you for your cooperation in these matters. Your compliance will be greatly appreciated and will help to further the proclamation of God’s Word through this ministry.
