Beverly LaHaye founded CWA in 1978, in response to witnessing the liberal political activism of Betty Friedan, the founder of the abortion advocacy group National Organization for Women.

"Beverly LaHaye was not born into privilege nor blessed with extraordinary skills and abilities. Her life is a beautiful demonstration of what God can do with a person who is fully devoted to Him," stated CWA in the announcement of her death.

"She was a faithful follower of Jesus Christ all the days of her life and God used her in extraordinary ways to make a difference in the world around her."
