INVESTING IN ADVANCEMENT
We
seek to engage in active, daily evangelism These core values spring from our strongly held Biblical convictions. We believe that BMW has a significant role to play in the coming decades of Biblical missions if the Lord tarries. For us to fulfill that role we need to continue to expand our ability to serve a growing missionary team. In 2007 we accepted 28 new missionaries into the mission for work in countries from Denmark in Europe to Vanuatu in the South Pacific and into the Middle East. Continuation of this growth over the next several years should see our missionary team swell to over 500 by 2010. This is exciting, but it brings its own challenges. Would you like
to participate in this exciting advance into new countries through
planned giving? If so, we invite you to contact the BMW Advancement
Department to discover how you can help bring the Gospel to parts
of the earth where there is little or no opportunity for people
to hear of the Savior. There are several ways that you can participate.
Bequests offer one way to help, but some people want to see the
benefit of their contribution in their own lifetime. There are a
number of different planned giving options available to allow the
satisfaction of mission participation and preservation of your estate.
There are also giving choices that maximize tax efficient gifts
to the mission. BEQUESTS
PLANNED GIVING OPTIONS There are a
number of modes of planned giving which allow you to see the benefit
to the mission and on the field, while caring for your own income
needs. There are also tax efficient methods to leave assets to your
estate and also further the work of Biblical Ministries Worldwide.
If you would like to speak with someone about the possible gift
planning tools that can accomplish these goals, please contact Dave
Rozelle at BMW.
Assets can pass to the mission outside of wills. It is possible to include the mission in your IRA beneficiary designation forms, life insurance beneficiary designations, annuity beneficiary designations and joint ownership of property, to name a few. You might like to use your IRA designation form to make a specific bequest to BMW. It's easy to do, does not require a will codicil, and in the case of a taxable estate, this would help to lower estate values by making it a charitable gift. The gift of appreciated property, especially stock that has appreciated in value is another very efficient choice. The Mission gets the full value and the donor does not have to pay capital gains on the sale of the stock. This can also work for real estate or other tangible assets. TREASURE AND YOUR TREASURES "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth…For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matthew 6:19 - 21 - the practical implications of this familiar text in Matthew are far-reaching.

questions regarding your will or would like suggestions for preparing

Some
people have left significant gifts in support of Biblical Ministries
Worldwide through their wills. A bequest may provide for a specific
dollar gift, a percentage of your estate, or specific assets to
be given to BMW. A bequest may also consist of the remaining assets
of your estate. Bequests are generally made through a will or trust
agreement. Bequests can also be made by ownership, payable on death,
or beneficiary designation. Below is an example of how such a bequest
might read:

CHOICES
First,
if you pass away without a will, then the state decides how your
estate is apportioned. In all likelihood the state will not make
the choices about distribution that you would willingly endorse. |
