When you donate to RECBFM you can be assured that we will seek to be
good stewards of your gift. Our accountability is to The General
Council of the Reformed Episcopal Church on a triennial basis.
Current gift dollars help RECBFM immediately. These gifts come from
a wide range of donors and can be directed toward a specific
missionary or ministry project of your choice, or they may be
undesignated, which makes your gift available for meeting RECBFM's
most urgent needs at any given time. Examples of such needs include
medical insurance for missionaries, addressing a crisis in a country
we are serving, holding a conference for missionary inquirers, and
helping missionaries to return home for emergencies and furlough.

you make a difference for the Kingdom of God at BFM with your
generous gift. Write to Mr. Charles Twining for information

in several ways. Besides freeing you

federal estate taxes, and possibly increase your income. There are
several ways to make a gift of real estate: Outright gifts, bargain
sales and lead trusts provide immediate benefits to RECBFM. Write

Other
Giving Opportunities
With the following
methods you can invest in
the ministry over the long term:
-
Insurance
Life insurance provides a unique avenue for charitable support. To
qualify as a deductible contribution, RECBFM must become both the
owner and beneficiary of the policy. If the policy is paid up, your
charitable contribution is usually the replacement value or cost
basis of the policy, whichever is less. Ongoing premiums paid on a
contributed life insurance policy also may qualify for charitable
deduction.
-
Bequests
A well-conceived will provides a unique opportunity to ensure that
the blessings of a lifetime are distributed according to your wishes
and in a fashion consistent with your priorities. Your will can serve as a
lasting expression of your Christian witness. Through a bequest to RECBFM you can express your hope and confidence in the mission of
RECBFM. Please consult with your attorney concerning the best way
for you to make a bequest to RECBFM in your will.

 But this I say: He
who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows
bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let
each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of
necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make
all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency
in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. As it is
written:
He
has dispersed abroad,
He has given to the poor;
His righteousness endures forever.
Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food,
supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the
fruits of your righteousness, while you are enriched in
everything for all liberality, which causes thanksgiving through us
to God.
For the administration of this service not only supplies the
needs of the saints, but also is abounding through many
thanksgivings to God, while, through the proof of this ministry,
they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the gospel
of Christ, and for your liberal sharing with them and all
men, and by their prayer for you, who long for you because of
the exceeding grace of God in you.
Thanks be to God for His
indescribable gift!

Cor 9:6-14
