As you have seen from the stories in the preceding pages, life and ministry are often impacted by unforeseen events and opportunities. Just when things seem to be stable, they may actually be about to change. You have read of a missionary family that went to the field with no plans to become printers of theological books, yet that is precisely what the Lord had in mind. Others were ministering in eastern Europe, when they were suddenly inundated with refugees of war, opening a whole new avenue for the Gospel to them. Another missionary family faced country-changing closed doors, only to discover that God was redirecting them to a vast ocean of ministry opportunity.
In each of these life-shifting events, your missionaries embraced the changes the Lord brought into their lives. They assessed their new circumstances and found providential opportunities and platforms from which to proclaim the Gospel of Christ.
Their God-glorifying reflexes are bearing spiritual fruit today.
Gifts to the Global Impact Fund provide training that will equip missionaries to thrive when meeting unexpected challenges on the mission field. They are better able to minister in a new culture, to manage crises that arise, to grow spiritually amid fast-paced changes, and to build strong teams with others that will enable them to thrive in ministry.
Global Impact Fund gifts also provide administrative support during dramatic changes, financial and cultural guidance when negotiating challenging circumstances, and wisdom from those who have “been there.”
In our rapidly changing world, your gifts have a decisive impact. Please consider giving your best gift today.
Charitable Gift Annuity payments provide an income stream that will not drop with stock market volatility and interest rate changes. You can benefit from fixed, reliable payments and an upfront charitable income tax deduction. Gift annuities may now be funded with cash or stock, or a one-time IRA distribution (up to $53,000), subject to certain rules and restrictions.
With a Charitable Gift Annuity, you receive a double benefit: impacting missions and receiving lifelong income.
