A Bequest to Further Good Work
Nancy and David were dedicated volunteers. Over the years, they had seen
many individuals come to Christ by the good work of free will Baptist
ministries. They wanted to create a legacy to provide future resources to
continue its mission.
Dave:
The work of Free Will Baptist ministries was important to us and we
provided support with current gifts but wanted to do more. We realized we
could make a gift of our estate.
Nancy:
We contacted Free Will Baptist Foundation so that we could included a
provision for a bequest in our estate plan. Our lawyer put language in the
estate plan document that allows a percentage of our estate to go to Free
Will Baptist ministries. This was easy to arrange and permits us to still
use our assets during our lives if we need them.
You also may want to make it easy and convenient to have a bequest included
