Please try to make this amazing conference part of your schedule next month. In a world where the stability, strength, and future of families are being undermined by pornography, divorce, abortion, same-sex marriage, threats to religious liberty, and various anti-family agendas coming from the UN and other sources, the World Congress of Families promises to offer education, energy, and hope.
Faithfully for Families,
Laura Bunker
