Including a gift to the ministry of World Outreach in your will is a special and personal way to continue making a difference in the world after your life on earth has passed.

Have You Made A Will?
We all desire to be good stewards of our possessions now. We can also be good stewards of our estate after we die. A will clearly states your intentions, what you want done with your wealth after you die. Failure to prepare a will means your wealth will be distributed according to the laws of the country, which may not follow your specific wishes. Part or all of your estate may go to people you never intended to benefit, or even to the government!
This legal document will ensure that your wishes are carried out in relation to any support you may wish to give to others outside your immediate family, including churches and charities such as World Outreach.
When is Best?
It is wise for every adult to have a will prepared. While no one likes to contemplate death, it is a reality that must be considered. If you are old enough to vote, you are old enough to have a will. (Note that a will is automatically revoked by a subsequent marriage.)
People often want to make contributions from their estate. It is reassuring to know that a share of your estate can go to support missionary work after expenses and other distributions have been made. Be aware that a bequest or gift needs to be included in a will in order for this to happen.
You may wish to take inflation into account and state a percentage rather than a specified lump sum

How Do I Make A Will?
World Outreach does not recommend creating your own will. Instead, when you create a will or make changes to an existing will, contact your solicitor, legal advisor, or the Public Trust Office (or its equivalent in your own country).
To nominate World Outreach as a beneficiary of your estate, contact the World Outreach country office nearest you.
