A Gift That Lasts Beyond a Lifetime
Support the Future of Jewish Mission by Leaving a Bequest to International Mission to Jewish People - Australia
By God’s grace, generations of godly men and women have partnered in the task of proclaiming the message of Jesus the Messiah to Jewish people through prayer and various forms of giving. They have understood that the words of the apostle Paul remain just as true today as they were when first written: “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation … first to the Jew, then to the Gentile” (Romans 1:16). It is partnership in the gospel that has allowed this ministry to Jewish people to continue in Australia.
Some choose to express their partnership by leaving a gift in their Will. Making a bequest can help ensure that future generations of Jewish people also have the opportunity to hear the good news of salvation. As Paul also writes, “How can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard?” (Romans 10:14).
We are deeply thankful for all who share in this ministry in whatever way they are able. Without your generous help, we simply could not do the work to which God has called us.
