CREATING A LEGACY By Sharon Kissinger, Kissinger & Kirkman Investment Centre, LLC
GREETINGS FROM POPLAR BLUFF! Do you have a passion for Christ and wish you could fund ministries that reach people worldwide? YOU CAN! Through our own General Baptist Foundation, your tax-deductible charitable gift can create an endowment fund you design. You designate the ministry you want to support, then with the help of Linda McDonough, CFO of General Baptist Ministries, you determine how much money you want to give, when you wish to give, and how often. You can give a lump sum annually (or more frequently), or if you wish, you can designate your gift to happen at the time of your death through your will or trust. Giving in this manner, you will be creating a legacy that will live on forever. Giving through the Foundation is an exciting and rewarding opportunity to further the ministry that is precious to you. Please give Linda a call to gather more information so that you can begin this incredible ministry mission! The General Baptist Foundation was established in 1984 to develop, receive, administer, and expend funds to benefit and carry out the purposes of the General Association of General Baptists. The Foundation is designed as a way to support multiple ministries with one gift. Ministries currently benefitting from the Foundation are Global Missions, National Missions, Oakland City University, Camp Allen, Women’s Ministries, and other departments within the Council of Associations.
