Joe and Anna have been faithful supporters of their local congregation. They believe it is important to support the ministries of their church.
Joe: Several years ago, Anna and I decided to become part of the Every Kid To Camp Ministry through our church. We believe that they are truly making an impact in the lives of the youth. We think that it is important to partner with them to make a difference. For that reason, Anna and I have made gifts over the years.
Anna: We wanted to do more than to just make gifts. Joe and I have been careful over the years and have accumulated some resources. We plan to be generous with family, but we also have the ability to be generous with ministry.
After talking it over, we decided to leave a bequest in our will. Our attorney took the simple language available from Gift Planning Services and included a nice bequest to ministry. We are delighted that we will be helping others because of the help they provided.
You also may want to make it easy and convenient to have a bequest included in your will. The language below shows how a bequest can very easily be included in your will.
