Joe and Anna have been faithful supporters of Church of God. They believe it is important to support and encourage the ministry.
Joe: Anna and I decided to become part of the Church of God Foundation. We believe in the ministry of the church. We think that it is important to partner with the Foundation to make a difference. For that reason, Anna and I have made gifts of stewardship over the years.
Anna: We wanted to do more than to just make gifts. Joe and I have been careful over the years and have accumulated some resources. We plan to be generous with family, but we also have the ability to be generous with the church.
After talking it over, we decided to leave a bequest in our will. Our attorney took the simple language available from the Church of God Foundation and included a nice bequest. We are delighted that we will be helping ministry we hold dear.
