Estate and Gift Planning Estate and Gift Planning Christians are stewards of all that God has provided. Good stewardship, therefore, involves careful finance and estate planning, and it is a wise steward who considers carefully the various options that are available to benefit both family and ministry. When Christians give to enhance worthy ministries, certain tax benefits may make it possible for them to give more than otherwise would have been possible. Reducing taxes or increasing income are not necessarily reasons in themselves to give to ministry, but a thoughtful donor considers these consequences as a part of good stewardship. Regional staff welcome opportunities to make presentations in church or conference settings on aspects of stewardship or to discuss confidentially the particulars of estate and gift planning matters.
Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisors they succeed.
