Can I tell you about a gift anyone can make which will help more people know Jesus ?
It ’ s a gift which won ’ t cost you anything during your lifetime . And a gift which means you ’ ll leave a legacy of people meeting Jesus .
Recently Jean Keene passed away , but she is continuing to make a Kingdom impact . This is because Jean left a compassionate gift in her will .
Jean ’ s faith meant a lot to her . Her faith was central to her life and her Bible was well underlined . She wanted to share her faith with others . When asked about Jesus she would articulate her faith in a heartfelt way .
I recently had the opportunity to hear about Jean through a friend of hers . One story that stuck out was about a time they went out for coffee . They were sitting in a shopping centre and it was very crowded so another customer asked to join them at their table .
Jean ended up sharing with this man what Jesus had done for her . Her friend then led the man to Christ . Jean was compassionate towards him . She wanted him to experience God ’ s forgiveness , as she had .
But Jean ’ s compassion went beyond people she met . Like you , Jean had a heart for all people to know Jesus . Even those she had never met .
This love for people led Jean to leave a gift in her will . Her gift means there will be more vibrant faith communities following Jesus in their own distinctive ways .
I am inspired by Jean ’ s heart to share God ’ s love with the world , even after her passing . I recently set up my will for the first time and decided to include Global Interaction in it . It was important to me to know that the legacy I leave is one of Kingdom significance . Can I encourage you to consider doing the same ?
A gift in your will can help more people meet Jesus . Your loving gift in will helps communities meet Jesus in their own distinctive ways . To discover what it means to hear God ’ s Word , pray together , and know God ’ s forgiveness .
It can be a gift of any size . Even 1 % of your estate helps fulfil the great commission Jesus gave us .
Faithful Australians like you have helped tens of thousands meet Jesus . Putting a gift in your will won ’ t cost you anything now , but it will have an eternal impact .
