Leave a Legacy That Transforms Lives for Christ
You are making an impact for God's Kingdom right now through your gifts of money and time to God's work. Imagine the impact of leaving a legacy that continues to build God’s Kingdom long after you’ve entered eternal glory. By including International Student Ministries of NZ (ISMNZ) in your will, you could create an ever-expanding influence for Christ that lasts for eternity.
Why Include ISMNZ in Your Will?
- Your Legacy Reaches the Nations: Every dollar you invest in ISMNZ reaches far beyond borders and time. Our mission is to engage, equip, and empower international students with the Gospel. These students return to their home countries as disciples and missionaries, carrying the message of Jesus to many people you could never reach.
- High Return on Investment: With ISMNZ, your donations are investments in eternity. Each dollar goes further, as we operate with a lean budget, ensuring that the resources entrusted to us bear much fruit. You are giving to a cause where the "return" is souls saved and lives changed in every corner of the earth.
- Building God’s Kingdom Beyond Your Lifetime: Your will is not just a financial document; it’s a spiritual legacy. By including ISMNZ, your passion for the Gospel will continue to bear fruit for generations. The students we minister to today will lead churches, start ministries, and influence nations tomorrow.
- Real Stories, Global Impact: ISMNZ has many stories of graduates planting churches, leading ministries, and spreading the Gospel. For privacy reasons, we cannot share these stories online, but we'd love to share them personally. If you're interested in learning more, please fill out our Bequest form below, and we will get in touch to continue the conversation.
