Good stewardship as presented in Scripture is a great privilege and responsibility. While faithful stewards provide for their family and give to the Lord during their lifetime, many may not realize that they can continue to honor the Lord with their substance after they pass away by utilizing charitable bequests (planned giving) to the Christian ministry of their choice.
Leaving a charitable bequest to Rejoice in the Lord is wise financial planning that honors the Lord and benefits His work. By including Rejoice in the Lord in your will, you can make an eternal investment in the lives of countless men and women around the world through this Christian ministry. Whether an exact amount or a percentage or remainder of your estate, your investment will count now and forever.
