Joy, Satisfaction and Peace

Giving the Ultimate Gift to Ministry

There’s something deeply satisfying about giving the “perfect gift” to someone you love.

The anticipation is thrilling as you await the recipient’s elation and gratitude when they pull away the wrapping to discover what’s inside.

If that’s how it feels to give away what’s temporary, imagine the fulfillment of giving what’s eternal.

That’s the opportunity you have when you leave a gift to ministry in your will, or what many call the “ultimate gift.”

When you bless your favorite ministries through an ultimate gift, you’ll experience the unique joy of putting your earthly possessions to work for eternal Kingdom purposes.

Through an ultimate gift, you can…

• extend the impact of your generosity, well beyond your lifetime.
• retain access to your God-given resources for as long as you need them.
• change your mind at any time about how your gifts are designated.
• potentially give more than would ever be possible during your lifetime.

Unlike temporary gifts, your ultimate gift will carry eternal significance.

Whether you’re supporting outreach, discipleship, education, disaster relief, or another passion God has placed on your heart, your gift will continue bearing fruit for many years to come.

That’s why giving through your will is more than a financial decision; it is an act of worship and a testimony of faith.

It communicates to your family and the world: “What God entrusted to me, I now entrust to His purposes.”

In that declaration is deep joy, lasting satisfaction, and profound peace.

It’s the gift that keeps on giving, now and throughout eternity.
