ecky lived in a small town in Oklahoma, far from any large city. She loved seeing God at work in her local church community, and she was inspired by the It Is Written messages she received via her Roku streaming device. As Becky thought about how she could do more to advance the proclamation of the gospel, she decided to dedicate a rental house she owned for God’s work. After some reflection, she elected to fund a charitable gift annuity with the gift of her rental house. Becky had learned about the charitable gift annuity plan that would provide her with income for life from the gift, while ultimately supporting the outreach ministries she loved. Because Becky was 83, she would receive a robust payout of 7.2 percent of the gift amount annually for the rest of her life. She loved knowing that when she passed to her rest, any remaining balance in the plan would go to the charitable purposes she had designated and loved. As an additional bonus, Becky liked the two generous income tax benefits from her planned gift. For several years, Becky continued to enjoy It Is Written programming, having the assurance that her support was helping to keep the message of hope going to the world. Becky rests now, but her gift lives on in the lives of transformed people. People who will be her neighbors in heaven! You too can benefit from tax savings, income for life, and a secure gift to advance God’s work. Contact us today to learn more about the benefits of a charitable gift annuity.
