No one wants to think about the time that our lives here on earth will end. It can be scary and overwhelming trying to make sure your loved ones will be taken care of without you. You know you will surely be missed by family and friends, but how can you leave a mark on this earth that will positively impact the lives of people you have never met? One way to make a difference is by sharing the gift of the Gospel beyond your lifetime when you remember Lutheran Hour Ministries in your will.
By including LHM in your will, you can ensure that the Gospel can and will continue to spread to future generations. There are several ways to include LHM in your estate.
- Direct your gift to the area of greatest need. This allows LHM the financial freedom to use your gift in the way that will be most effective in sharing God's Word with unreached people who desperately need His love.
- Set up an endowment to make sure your gift lasts as long as God's mission through LHM.
- If you feel a strong connection to a certain program or ministry center, choose for your gift to go to that specific area.
In addition, by choosing to include LHM as part of your legacy, you are a member of The Hoffmann Society! This group of around 3,000 members has generously remembered LHM in their estate plans and professed that they want to be a part of our mission of Bringing Christ to the Nations—and the Nations to the Church even after they have passed on to their eternal glory. These faithful believers are a key part of LHM's future planning and ensure that the Gospel is shared with future generations.
Many people have included LHM in their final plans and have not yet shared this decision. If you are one of these people, please let us know! For more information, or to tell us we are in your estate plans, go online to lhm.org/give or contact LHM's gift planning staff by email at lhm-gift@lhm.org or over the phone at 1-877-333-1963.
