GIFTS IN WILLS
LEGACY DONATION
A gift that keeps making disciples for generations to come
Our God is a generous God. He pours out blessing upon blessing on us – many of which we may take for granted, such as health, housing, food, sunshine and rain. But God goes well beyond that, lavishing on us the blessing of eternal life through Jesus’ death on the cross in our place.
One way we can respond to God’s generosity is by faithfully stewarding what He has entrusted to us. For some, that may include supporting the work of the Australian Navigators in your Will – that is, to make a bequest.
A bequest is an opportunity to continue your legacy of investing in the next generation of labourers.
“And what you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.”
~ 2 TIMOTHY 2:2
YOUR IMPACT
Your gift will help continue your legacy of contributing to:
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
~ ACTS 1:8
