GIVING The Many Ways You Can Make A Lasting Difference Find the Option that Works for you By Jim Lilley As we grow older, we begin to realize many of the good things in this world are a result of people opening their hearts. This generosity is often a thank you for assistance received in the past, an expression of compassion for a mission that touched someone's heart in another country or the result of witnessing the inspiring account of somone in need. Your options for giving are almost as abundant as your reasons for giving. Here are just a few of the ways you can support our goal of world evangelism. BIMI missionaries are people of dedication to that cause who see their life's work as a holy calling to plant churches in every nation around the world. Donate cash today—You can give a little every year or one lump sum to help provide operational necessities. Include BIMI in your will—Cash or property that you designate in your will can help in the cause of the Great Commission. Establish a Charitable Gift Annuity—Receive fixed payments for life when you create a charitable gift annuity with BIMI. Cash and marketable securities make easy donations, allowing you to give and receive. Donate Life Insurance—You can easily support BIMI by naming BIMI as a beneficiary on a policy you already own. Consider your Retirement Plan Assets—By making a simple designation on your beneficiary designation form, you can save your loved ones from a heavy tax burden. Give Property—If you have a house or another piece of property you no longer want to manage, you can use it to help BIMI continue church planting efforts around the world. Your support is important to BIMI and continues to make the ministry possible. If you have any questions about opportunities for supporting BIMI or the benefits you can receive for doing so, you can easily learn more.
