Leaving a Legacy
What does leaving a legacy look like? Taking time to create a will helps us pause and consider the legacy we’ll leave behind. It helps us to think through important questions such as: • Does my will reflect what’s most important to me and my family? • What kind of legacy do I want to leave for my children? • How would an inheritance to my children impact their lifestyle? • What are the beliefs and values I want to pass along to the next generation? • Does my will reflect my love for Christ, my church, and favorite ministries?
We’d love to hear from you! If you have questions about legacy planning and would like to talk with someone about extending your impact with Back to God Ministries International, please don’t hesitate to call our office or send an email to [email protected].

Make an eternal impact
Why is having a will important?
Think for a moment of someone who has positively affected your life--a parent or grandparent, a teacher or coach--what was it about them that left such an important mark? If we were to ask a roomful of people this question, we’d likely find a common thread in their responses: they loved me; they helped me see my true value; they encouraged me; they inspired me to do something meaningful with my life; they were a wonderful example.
For many people, a will is an expression of their belief that God wants us to manage the resources He entrusts to us while living and after death. However, nearly 70% of adults do not have an up-to-date will.

Here are some practical ways of working with BTGMI to change lives for Jesus. One of the most creative ways you can make a difference for the cause of Christ is through the legacy you leave behind. You may have family you want to bless, as well as organizations like BTGMI that you want to support. Financial gifts designated for ministry are powerful ways to communicate what is most important to you and ensure that your life points others to Jesus. Any size gift in your will can make a difference. Even a small percentage of what’s left after your loved ones are provided for can make an eternal change in someone’s life. If the concept of a legacy gift is new to you, you’re not alone! Many people like you are looking for creative ways to continue making an impact even after they’re gone, so we’ve compiled some important information to help you get started.
When you partner with Back to God Ministries International (BTGMI), you step into the opportunity of having an eternal impact on lives. No matter how you support BTGMI, your story is automatically intersecting with the stories of countless people, helping them find Christ, experience love, and be inspired to live more meaningful lives.
Perhaps you’re reading this brochure and have already included BTGMI in your will or estate plan. If so, thank you! We’re so humbled and grateful you’ve made that decision. By choosing to bless this ministry, you’re paving the way for Gospel ministry and setting a powerful example for your family.
Did you know your will can actually be an act of worship? A will gives you an opportunity to respond to His blessings with gratitude and godly stewardship. Here are several reasons it’s important to create or update your will: • You determine who will care for your children and how your assets should be distributed among loved ones. • You will have peace of mind knowing that your household is in order. • You can be certain your will is a true reflection of what you value most. • You can support your favorite charitable organizations such as Back to God Ministries International, ensuring the mission continues for years to come and creating eternal impact. • An up-to-date will reflects changes in your family, financial situation, or tax laws, avoiding unnecessary legal costs and hassles. Because life and tax laws tend to change without much warning, it’s important to make sure your will is still relevant to both. This may be a good time to think about how long it’s been since you last updated your will.
