for the rainy day when offerings get low and bills can’t be paid . . .

the congregation?

MY PRAYER IS… Our endowment funds outreach ministry By establishing an endowment fund our
congregation’s members are moved to complete their own gift plans and leave a giftfrom their hearts to support the Lord’s work

WHY PLANNED GIVING?
75% of charitable giving comes from individuals.
87% of people who give to charity give because they were asked.
We ask for cash… but only 9% - 12% of assets are in cash.
It is estimated that $52 - $125 trillion will be transferred before 2030 from funds from one generation to the next.
