The Greatest Gift of Your Life.
Thank you for being an eternal friend to those who are hungry to hear the Gospel, even amid the hardships of poverty, disaster and humanitarian need. You can continue to bless them, long after you begin your eternal life, by leaving a bequest in your Will for the work of International Needs.
Thanks to the nearly miraculous power of bequests, even a small portion of your estate could be one of the greatest gifts of your life. Making a bequest is very easy. Your Will does not need to be rewritten. Simply download and fill out the PDF Codicil form and attach it to your Will.
Thank you for continuing to do great works of God's love, even after you enter eternal life.
Your Family Comes First
Your dependents, descendants, family, and loved ones are the natural beneficiaries of your estate. They should come first.
Please consider leaving something extra for those who are becoming part of your ternal family. They are coming to Christ because of the practical love and generosity you have shown through your support for International Needs.
Please let us know if you have left a bequest
If you decide to leave a bequest with your Will, or if you already have, we want to honour your generosity and keep you connected, informed and inspired about the world-changing work you do for the Lord.
What kind of bequest is best for you?
Residuary
After your family is looked after and all expenses are paid, what remains is your bequest.
Percentage of your Estate
As a defined portion, your bequest is not affected by inflation or changes in value. Nor does it intrude on your family's share.
Specific Gift
You can give a particular sum of money, or an asset such as real estate, art or an insurance policy.
Whole Estate
For those without dependents, wanting to significantly bless a great number of people.
Imagine what you will do with a gift for your eternal family in your Will
As an International Needs supporter, you show God's love through "Christianity with the sleeves rolled up". You are making an eternal impact, fulfilling the Great Commission by sharing the Gospel hand-in-hand with life-giving practical solutions to the world's worst human conditions. Your bequest can give you the chance to do extraordinary things for Christ and for people in need.
Your Medical Centre $60,000 to $500,000
You could establish or support a centre like the Savar Women & Children's Medical Centre in Bangladesh.
Your School, Daycare or Vocational Learning Centre $50,000 to $100,000
You can give vulnerable children the greatest earthly gift to overcome poverty: their education, training and skills - as well as the spiritual gift of access to God's Word.
Your Water Well and WASH $16,000
This is the simple miracle that breaks the curse of sickness and death: Water, Sanitation and Hygiene. With your WASH legacy, including a wonderful water well for a disease-stricken community, you can create health and hope as a testimony of Jesus' love.
Build A Local Church $50,000 to $150,000
A place where local people can discover the love of God. They don't need a cathedral, just a gathering place built to be safe from destructive weather - such as the beautiful church International Needs supporters have built in the Philippines.
The Founder's Fund
To honour the vision of Ray Harrison, International Needs offers the Founder's Fund, where donations, bequests and gifts are actively managed as part of a substantial and growing endowment, earning investment returns to transform lives, change communities and share the Gospel all over the world.
"Well Into the Future"
Why I Have Left A Bequest
Testimony from Malcolm, an 80-year International Needs supporter and a friend of founder Ray Harrison.
"We believe in the mission and vision of International Needs. That is, to support local Christian leaders to reach their own communities for the Gospel, and other humanitarian aid and development programmes."
It is also important to Malcolm, knowing that we keep our admin costs to an absolute minimum:
"the majority of the support we give goes directly to the beneficiary".
Asked why he decided to leave a Gift in his Will to International Needs, Malcolm said, "I wholeheartedly believe in the organisation and would like to see the legacy of Ray and International Needs continue well into the future."
