What is Planned Giving?
Planned giving — also called legacy giving — is a meaningful way to arrange a gift now that supports our mission in the future. These gifts are often made through a will, trust, or other estate plans, ensuring that your values and faith continue to make a difference long after your lifetime.
When you include Global Pathways in your estate plans, you are helping to ensure that the Gospel will continue to reach the nations for years to come.
