ESTATE GIVING

Someone once shared

Do you remember who first shared the Good News with you? Was it a pastor, a Sunday school teacher, a parent, or maybe a friend? Or did you learn about Jesus by reading the Bible or tuning in to a radio or television program?

Somewhere . . . somehow . . . someone took to heart the words of Jesus in Mark 16:15 to "preach the Good News to all creation."

Seventy-two years ago, the brotherhood of Trinity Lutheran Church in Waterloo, Iowa, felt called to do the same. Through an act of faith, they began what is known today as Christian Crusaders radio and Internet ministry.

You are sharing

Through your gifts and prayers, you are a partner with Christian Crusaders and any other Christian ministry you support in spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ to thousands of people around the world. Your financial support has made a difference to many!

You can continue sharing

Perhaps you have been blessed with the financial means to live comfortably during your lifetime. If so, where can your material possessions do the most good when you no longer need them?

Of course, most people want to make sure their family is well taken care of. However, many also want to continue supporting the charities and ministries that have been important to them during their lifetime. Estate planning can help you do both! By including Christian Crusaders organization in your will, you can:

• Make a meaningful and lasting contribution to God's kingdom on earth.
• Help insure the ministry will remain strong, intact, and responsive to God's will.
• Provide yourself and your heirs with potential tax benefits.

The Christian Crusaders ministry has been blessed with many gifts from those who have believed strongly in our mission and have included this ministry in their estate planning. Given through the estates of those who felt led by the Holy Spirit to support this ministry, these resources have made it possible for Christian Crusaders to continue broadcasting biblical truth for these past seventy-plus years on the radio and now worldwide on shortwave and the Internet.

If you feel strongly in the mission of Christian Crusaders and would like the work of this ministry to continue for many years to come, you can help make this a reality in a number of ways. Some of these ways are:

• Bequest of a specific dollar amount
• Bequest of a percentage of the estate
• Charitable Remainder Trust
• Existing Life Insurance Policy
• New Life Insurance Policy
• Payable on Death Accounts
• IRA
• Endowment Fund Gift

You will want to visit with your tax professional or attorney as you make decisions on what is best for you, your family, and the ministries you wish to support.
