00:01 As you're well aware,
00:02 we're living in unprecedented times. 00:05 Join us now for Today special program. 00:12 I want to spend my life 00:18 Mending broken people 00:23 I want to spend my life 00:29 Removing pain 00:34 Lord, let my words 00:39 Heal a heart that hurts 00:44 I want to spend my life 00:50 Mending broken people 00:55 I want to spend my life 01:00 Mending broken people 01:15 Hello, and welcome to another 3ABN Today program. 01:17 We're so glad that you have joined us today. 01:20 Thank you for being part of our family 01:22 and today's program basically we can summarize it 01:24 and say evangelism, 01:27 and we know that you love evangelism. 01:29 Of course, 3ABN, that's what we're all about, 01:31 about proclaiming the three angels' messages 01:33 around the world. 01:34 And it's because of you. 01:37 You're right, you heard that right. 01:38 It's because of you 01:40 that 3ABN is able to make a difference in the world. 01:42 And it's because of your prayers 01:44 and financial support that 3ABN 01:45 is able to reach basically every country 01:47 in the entire world, which is absolutely incredible. 01:49 And we praise the Lord Jesus Christ 01:51 for His faithfulness as well, 01:53 but what a privilege we have 01:54 of spreading the gospel around the world. 01:57 This morning and in my devotions, 01:59 I was reading about Christ's soon return. 02:02 You know, as we look at the world around us, 02:04 there always seems to be some type of oh, unrest. 02:09 Maybe we say that in the world. 02:12 And it seems like men are running to and fro 02:14 trying to figure out what's going on. 02:15 But you know, in the Bible as Mr. Danny always says, 02:18 we've read the back of the book, right? 02:19 And we know that Christ is won, so we have nothing to fear, 02:23 but we know that times are of, that time is of an essence 02:27 and that Jesus Christ is coming so very soon. 02:30 And you know none of us know when our time will be up 02:32 here on this earth. 02:34 You know, I consider still young people. 02:36 Thank you. Yes. Okay, baby. 02:37 That's a good thing to say today. 02:38 Yeah. 02:40 You know, we look ahead of us and say, okay, 02:41 we've got a number of years ahead of us, but you know, 02:43 we don't know when tomorrow on our way home from work, 02:46 maybe in a car wreck, none of us know. 02:48 So I believe that we can never say, 02:50 well, tomorrow or next year, today is the day of salvation. 02:54 We want to put that forward to you right now, 02:56 but also to be good stewards of God's 02:58 money, the resources, our time, our talents, everything 03:01 that He has given to us, 03:02 because Jesus Christ is coming very soon. 03:04 And we need to give, 03:05 so that we can basically spread the gospel around the world. 03:08 It's incredible times we live 03:09 and incredible privilege we have. 03:10 Amen. Absolutely. 03:12 I love these programs because especially today, 03:15 we're talking with the family, 03:16 this is our family here at 3ABN. 03:20 And we're talking specifically about evangelism 03:23 through Planned Giving and Trust Services. 03:26 Now you might be saying, wait a minute, 03:28 I didn't really see that connection. 03:29 Are you gonna talk about money 03:31 or are you gonna talk about evangelism? 03:32 Both. 03:34 That's what we're talking about today 03:35 because we evangelize with our finances. 03:39 So we're gonna talk about how you can partner 03:41 with the Ministry of 3ABN 03:44 and doing just that, helping to spread the gospel. 03:47 Yeah, absolutely. 03:49 You know, and some of you may be have never heard 03:51 about 3ABN's Planned Giving and Trust Service Department. 03:54 So we've had, I don't know how many years 03:56 we've had the department, 03:57 but it's been quite a long time. 03:58 I know Dr. May Chung way back, one of the early board members 04:03 of 3ABN and supporters of the Ministry of 3ABN. 04:07 Talk to Mr. Danny about starting that. 04:08 So I believe the Westfalls are maybe one of the first ones 04:10 and then the Hunts, 04:11 and now we've added somebody brand new 04:13 since Roy and his wife have retired. 04:15 We've added a Jeff Doerr. 04:17 You're now the Planned Giving Trust Service Director. 04:19 That's correct. Yes. 04:21 We're so glad to have you and your wife. 04:23 She can't be with you today, 04:24 but part of the team, and it's a blessing. 04:26 It is a blessing to be a part of the team. 04:28 And I appreciate the opportunity to work 04:30 for 3ABN and for the Lord. 04:32 And because I am a product of 3ABN. 04:34 Yeah. 04:36 Yes. Tell us about that? 04:37 How are you a product of 3ABN? 04:38 You say, wait a minute, you're a product 3ABN? 04:40 So tell us about that? Yes. 04:41 I was raised in a Christian home, 04:43 but our faith was not as strong as it is now. 04:47 And we were not Adventist. 04:49 We were from another denomination 04:51 and through course of time and way things, life changes. 04:56 My wife stumbled upon 3ABN over the air channel, 05:01 channel 15 here locally... 05:02 Yep, out of Johnson City, Illinois. 05:04 Out of Johnson City, yes. Right. 05:06 And she started watching it and was very intrigued 05:10 and interested and was curious about what she was hearing. 05:13 She would get her Bible out 05:14 and Lyle Albrecht was up there preaching the gospel strongly. 05:17 Oh yes. 05:18 Yes. Amen. 05:20 Absolutely. He's a great preacher. 05:21 He is a wonderful preacher. 05:23 And he was laying out the truth as it is written in the Bible, 05:27 the whole truth. 05:28 And my wife began checking and double checking. 05:31 And when she got convicted, 05:33 then she started telling me about it. 05:35 And after a while I became... 05:38 What did you think about it? 05:39 She started telling you about it and you're thinking, 05:41 wait a minute, this is a little different 05:43 than the way I was raised. 05:44 Or, you know, we've gone to church all our life, 05:45 but we believe differently. 05:47 What do you think about it? 05:48 I would question it very... 05:50 Yes, questioned him a lot because it was life altering. 05:55 I mean, we had business 05:56 that Saturday was one of our biggest course of business 05:59 was on Saturday, 06:00 and for us to take it and go to church 06:02 and not take and conduct an auction on Saturday, 06:05 that was challenging because it's a family business. 06:09 It was gonna affect our family, our income. 06:12 And it did for a while, but now 06:14 we are blessed with more work than we can do. 06:17 Wow. Yes. 06:18 So then what happened next? 06:20 So you and your wife are now studying together 06:21 and learning all these truths. 06:23 You're watching 3ABN and then you start listening 06:25 because WDQN in Du Quoin? 06:28 That's correct, 959. Radio station. 06:29 Listening on the radio. 06:31 So then what happened next to your life? 06:32 After a period of time we decided, 06:35 well, let's try an Adventist church. 06:39 So I took an email 3ABN and got in contact with 3ABN. 06:43 It was Grace Yost was the person that responded 06:46 and invited us to... 06:49 At that time, it was the old church 06:50 here in West Frankfort 06:52 and said that John Lomacang was our pastor. 06:55 And that I think you will really enjoy him 06:56 which we have enjoyed John very much. 07:00 He's a wonderful pastor. 07:01 Yes. 07:03 And started coming, and the rest is history. 07:06 We've been coming for a long time now. 07:09 You have, and I'm thinking about that. 07:10 You know, you're coming up on 20 years. 07:11 Yes. 07:13 First started finding the truths on 3ABN. 07:14 And so we were just talking before we went on the air here, 07:17 you know, what's incredible is that somebody donated, 07:20 somebody gave resources to 3ABN, Jeff, 07:22 you don't know who that person name, 07:24 names, but you found truth. 07:26 Well, you found truth 07:28 by the generosity of someone that gave 07:29 and supported 3ABN in the early days. 07:32 Yeah, absolutely. 07:33 And that's the power, 07:34 you know, and we also don't want to forget Jason too. 07:36 Yes. 07:37 Jason Bergman is our CFO here at the 3ABN, you and your wife. 07:41 And, of course, your daughter, she's growing up on you. 07:44 Yeah. Oh my goodness, too fast. 07:45 Yeah. She is. 07:46 How old is she now? 07:48 She is 11 years old. 07:49 Wow. Yeah. 07:50 Acting like 13, but yes. 07:52 But you're a CFO, Jason, you're doing a fantastic job 07:55 and thank you for your attention to detail. 07:57 And, of course, you see the finances come and go, 08:00 you know, and you see, you know, how yeah, 08:04 maybe the bank account gets a little lower, 08:06 but then God provides those funds just when we need them, 08:08 you know, and you see the sacrifices 08:10 of the donors to give. 08:12 And it's incredible. 08:13 Isn't it to be part of a faith based ministry? 08:15 You know, when we see an accounting, 08:18 all the donations that come in, 08:20 how blessed we are, but more than that, 08:23 we are partnering with Jesus. 08:24 That's key. 08:26 And when we partner with Jesus just makes it easy for us. 08:28 We don't have to worry, do we? 08:30 No, and, you know, I look at it as we're just 08:32 returning back to the Lord. 08:34 Amen. 08:35 This is all the Lord's. It's true. Amen. 08:37 And when we consider stewardship, you think, 08:39 you know, are we an owner or we a steward? 08:42 And it's very clear that 08:44 if we're gonna be partnering with Jesus 08:46 that He is the owner and we're just the manager 08:49 of His things. 08:51 Absolutely. 08:52 It's not our things, it's His things. 08:54 But you know, it's not always money. 08:55 It could be our intellect. 08:56 It could be those things that He's given us. 08:58 Talents... 08:59 And talents, those gifts, the truth. 09:04 You know, why are we here at a time like this in our age? 09:07 So it's a great opportunity. 09:10 It's great working for 3ABN. 09:12 And it's amazing how 3ABN is through the donations 09:17 that you give us, 09:19 that we're able to share the good news around the world. 09:22 Amen. You know, we're talking about the donations and stuff. 09:24 And I just have to say, thank you. 09:25 We all have to say, just thank you. 09:27 Because you know, we see the $5 come through. 09:29 Last year, we received an envelope 09:31 with 99 cents in it. 09:33 Plus I think it was 55 cent stamp. 09:35 And that we know that there's a lot of sacrifice 09:36 that is made for the ministry, 09:38 for the gospel to go around the world. 09:39 And we thank you so very much. 09:41 And there are people just like Jeff Doerr 09:42 that are out there that have found truth, 09:45 and it's because of you. 09:46 And so, thank you so very much. 09:47 But as Jill mentioned today, we're focusing on evangelism 09:50 through Planned Giving and Trust Services. 09:52 We wanna go into some more detail here in just a moment, 09:54 but you have a scripture and then we have some music 09:55 that we want to go next. 09:57 Absolutely. 09:58 You know, as I think about evangelism 09:59 through Planned Giving and Trust Services, 10:02 you might be listening to this program and saying, 10:04 well, that's for more experienced 10:07 or a seasoned people. 10:08 If you're gonna be talking about wills and trusts, 10:10 maybe that's for people 60 plus. 10:12 But this is for all of us. That's good. 10:14 All of us, 'cause as Greg mentioned 10:16 at the beginning of the program, 10:17 we don't know what the future holds, 10:19 and it is our responsibility to make sure 10:23 that when we are gone, whenever that happens, 10:26 that those things are taken care of. 10:28 So what a gift, any age, 10:31 to be able to know that your finances 10:34 can help further the Lord's work. 10:36 So whether you're a woman or a man, 10:38 young or older, more seasoned we'd say, 10:42 that this program is specifically for you. 10:44 This scripture is from Luke. 10:47 Luke 6: 38. I love this scripture. 10:49 It says, "Give, and it will be given to you, good measure, 10:53 pressed down, shaken together, 10:55 and running over will be put into your bosom. 10:59 For with the same measure you use, 11:01 it will be measured to you again." 11:03 And we could refer to this with finances, and that is true. 11:07 But I think specifically with spreading the gospel, 11:10 when we give of our time, our talents, our resources, yes, 11:15 our prayers to help spread the gospel. 11:18 That blessing is gonna return upon us tenfold. 11:22 So what a gift. 11:24 Our music today is Scott Michael Bennett. 11:28 He's an incredible musician, pianist and singer. 11:32 And the song he will be doing is perfect for this. 11:34 It is, I love it. 11:35 With the theme of evangelism, "Go Light Your World." 11:47 There is a candle 11:52 In every soul 11:55 Some brightly burning 11:59 And some dark and cold 12:03 There is a Spirit 12:07 Who brings a fire 12:11 Ignites a candle 12:15 And makes His home 12:19 Carry your candle 12:23 Run to the darkness 12:27 Seek out the hopeless 12:31 Confused and torn 12:34 Hold out your candle 12:38 For all to see it 12:42 Oh, take your candle 12:46 And go light your world 12:50 Take your candle 12:54 And go light your world 13:02 Frustrated brother 13:06 See how he's tried to 13:10 Light his own candle 13:14 Some other way 13:18 See now your sister 13:21 She's been robbed and lied to 13:25 Still holds a candle 13:29 Without a flame 13:33 So carry your candle 13:37 Run to the darkness 13:41 Seek out the lonely 13:45 The tired and worn 13:49 Hold out your candle 13:52 For all to see it 13:56 Take your candle 14:00 And go light your world 14:04 Take your candle 14:07 And go light your world 14:15 We are a family 14:19 Whose hearts are blazing 14:23 So let's raise our candles 14:27 And light up the sky 14:31 Praying to our Father 14:35 In the name of Jesus 14:39 Make us a beacon 14:43 In darkest times 14:46 Carry your candle 14:50 Run to the darkness 14:54 Seek out the helpless 14:58 Deceived and poor 15:02 Hold out your candle 15:06 For all to see it 15:09 Oh, take your candle 15:14 And go light your world 15:17 Take your candle 15:21 Go light your world 15:27 Take your candle 15:31 Go light your world 15:39 Go light your world 15:47 Go light your world 15:58 Wow. Amen. 15:59 Thank you, Scott Michael Bennett, 16:01 an incredible song too. 16:02 Incredible talent, but what a message in song, 16:05 Go Light Your World. 16:07 And, you know, oftentimes we can say, well, look at 3ABN 16:09 what a big light they are around the world. 16:10 But you know what? 16:12 You are very important 16:13 because you make 3ABN's light shine, 16:15 but then you also have an influence in your sphere. 16:17 However, small or big it is, you have an influence too. 16:21 So go light your world. 16:22 Whenever God's put on your heart, go do it for Him 16:25 because tomorrow's not guaranteed but today is. 16:27 Again today we're talking 16:29 and I'm gonna be talking about evangelism 16:30 through Planned Giving and Trust Services. 16:32 And we're so glad to have Mr. Jeff Doerr, 16:35 the director of Planned Giving. 16:36 Good to have you here. 16:38 Jason, CFO, good to have you here with us as well. 16:40 And, sweetie, it's always good to have you here 16:41 by my side too. 16:43 It's fun to do these programs together. 16:45 But, Jeff, before we go into stewardship, 16:47 we want Jason to talk about that. 16:48 Just what are we going to talk about today? 16:50 Some of the documents that we may talk about here? 16:52 I have cash trust or? 16:53 Okay. 16:55 One of the ones we'll talk about. 16:56 Okay. 16:57 Charitable gift annuities, CRUTs CRUTs? 17:00 Ooh, CRUTs. What is that? 17:02 Someone may not even know what CRUTs stands for. 17:04 Well, we'll just take them and further 17:05 that to Jason in a while. 17:08 And then a self administer trust. Okay. 17:10 And then also you all think about putting 3ABN 17:13 as a beneficiary on your insurance policies 17:16 or on a, maybe a retirement plan 17:18 or even a mortgage account, 17:21 like a stock broker, including us as a beneficiary. 17:25 Excellent. Yeah. 17:26 It's a lot of stuff we're gonna be talking 17:27 about here in the next few minutes, 17:29 but we wanna talk about why. 17:30 Go ahead. 17:32 And I just wanna say, don't let your eyes glaze over 17:33 with that information and you might be saying 17:34 what's a cash trust? 17:36 What's a charitable gift annuity. 17:37 What's the difference between them? 17:38 We will explain all of them in detail, 17:41 so that you can understand and make it plain and easy. 17:43 So you don't have to just say, okay, that's pushed aside, 17:46 'cause I think sometimes 17:47 I'm the only woman on the set here. 17:49 I think sometimes women in particular say, well, 17:51 the husband will handle the finances, 17:53 let him deal with that. 17:54 And I'm not gonna deal myself with that, 17:57 but it's vitally important 17:59 that the woman are involved in that too. 18:01 And know what happens 18:03 and what's gonna happen for the future. 18:04 I'm glad you mentioned that, you know, 18:05 and even though I like finances and things, 18:07 you know, some of these terms and stuff are sort of like, 18:09 wow, I don't exactly know what all this means, 18:11 but we actually did a document here 18:13 a couple years back with 3ABN. 18:14 'Cause right, we're talking about it, 18:15 we might as well at least try it 18:17 so we can know what we're talking about. 18:18 And it was actually very painless, 18:20 very, very easy to do. 18:21 And it was a good experience. 18:23 But, Jason, tell us about stewardship 18:25 because we know it's like you said, 18:27 none of this stuff is ours, right? 18:29 All the things we have, our talents, our time, 18:31 our resources, it's not ours it's God's. 18:34 So the question we need to ask ourselves. 18:36 All right. 18:37 Are we an owner or are we a steward? 18:41 So when we think about what we have, do we own it? 18:46 We tend to think we own it, Jason, right? 18:48 So, or do we manage 18:51 someone else's money, talents, gifts. 18:57 So, you know, I think 18:58 that's where we need to really ask 19:00 who are we and who are we managing someone else's things. 19:06 And I think those of us who know Jesus 19:10 know that John 15:5 19:14 you know, we are just those 19:18 who just use things, 19:21 not for ourselves, but for others. 19:24 So as we consider, 19:26 you know, who we are and what we're doing, 19:29 and we look at the bigger picture 19:31 as far as our responsibility 19:33 as individuals here at a time like this, 19:35 as we were talking about. 19:37 It's very important that those things that we have 19:42 those gifts that we're given, 19:44 the education that we have, 19:46 the money that the Lord has blessed us with, 19:48 how are we gonna use it for ourselves? 19:52 Are we gonna use it for others 19:54 or in conjunction with the Lord? 19:56 So here's a great verse that's, that's wonderful. 20:00 1 Corinthians 4:2 we have to ask ourselves, 20:04 what is Jesus looking for in a steward? 20:08 Oh, that's a good question. 20:09 Have you ever thought, 20:11 what is Jesus looking for in a steward? 20:13 So in 1 Corinthians 4:2, it says, 20:16 "That it is required in a steward 20:19 that one be found faithful." 20:22 So in the Bible, the Lord is talking about, 20:26 I'm giving you a gift 20:28 and sometimes more than one gift. 20:29 True. 20:31 But then what do we do with those talents? 20:35 You heard about the talents, the five, the two and the one. 20:39 What did the first do? 20:40 Did they invested it 20:42 and they compound and they got twice as much. 20:45 Right. But the one decided to do nothing with it. 20:48 He dug it in the ground, 20:51 buried it and then waited for Jesus or for the... 20:55 The master to come. 20:57 The master, or the traveler, depending on the version. 21:01 What did they do? 21:03 So when the traveler came back or the master came back 21:05 and said, what did you do with my talents? 21:07 So the first two, what did the traveler or the master do? 21:13 Blessed them even more. 21:15 And I look at 21:17 that as Jesus wants a return on His investment. 21:20 He wants good stewards. 21:22 He wants those of us 21:24 who understand our purpose in life. 21:28 Those that don't understand decide to misuse or use it 21:33 maybe for themselves instead of blessing others. 21:37 So what happened to those? 21:39 It got taken away from. 21:41 So when we look at stewardship, many times, we think, 21:46 you know, we're just managing things that the Lord has given 21:51 for our use, but really it's not for us, 21:56 it's for the glory of God. 21:57 That's right. 21:59 And when you think of our talents 22:01 that we have right here, 22:03 if we just use it for ourselves, 22:05 what good would it really do? 22:07 It would do no good. 22:09 But now here we're trying to increase 22:14 those talents to share those talents. 22:17 And then, you know, that gets quantified 22:20 and blessed to a point 22:21 where the Lord can just compound it 22:26 to blessings beyond our own understanding. 22:29 Yeah. 22:30 You know, and I was thinking, Jason, 22:31 sorry to interrupt you there. 22:33 But I was thinking about, Jeff, you were talking 22:34 about, you know, far as the seventh day Sabbath, 22:35 keeping that holy, right? 22:37 Yeah. 22:38 'Cause you're thinking, oh boy, this is before you're baptized 22:40 Seventh-day Adventist Church member 22:42 you were saying, okay. 22:43 So our busiest day is Saturday, which is the Sabbath. 22:46 So, okay. 22:48 Well, you could try and justify that, say, okay, 22:49 we'll bring in a whole lot of income here. 22:51 And, you know, we'll be able to bless the Lord. 22:52 He's like, no, keep the Sabbath day holy. 22:55 So you said it was a little bit tough 22:56 because that was your busiest day. 22:58 Yes. Shut it down. 22:59 Yes, absolutely. But you haven't gone hungry. 23:01 I have not gone hungry. 23:02 No. And God has provided. 23:04 The God has provided. 23:05 He has blessed and, yes, right now, 23:09 Proverbs 3:5-6, 23:12 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart 23:14 and lean not on your own understanding." 23:17 Yes. In all your ways... 23:19 Acknowledge. Acknowledge Him. 23:20 It goes along with what you're saying. 23:21 Yes, and He shall direct your path. 23:25 So that's what we have done. 23:26 We've just relied on the Lord and He has directed our path. 23:30 Amen. No, that was really good. 23:31 You know, and I like this too. 23:33 Jason, I'll let you continue here. 23:34 This is talking about, you know, who owns what, 23:37 this, I found this morning, this is Psalm 24. 23:40 And it says, "The earth is the Lord's." 23:42 So we live on earth, don't we, on planet earth? 23:44 Yes. 23:45 So it says, "The earth is the Lord's 23:47 and everything in it, 23:48 the world and they that dwell there in." 23:51 And it's so funny, we as human beings, 23:53 'cause I've found myself in this too, 23:54 like, oh, you know, this is mine. 23:56 And you know, this is mine and that's yours 23:58 and you know what? 23:59 Everything is God's. 24:01 And I remember when I was a small child, 24:02 my dad would say, you know what, son, 24:03 you were just loaned to your mother and I. 24:05 He said, you're God's child. 24:07 He said, He basically brought you 24:09 into existence to, right? 24:11 We're all the miracle of the Lord. 24:12 And so, you know, 24:13 it's just like, everything is God. 24:15 So I love the stewardship aspect, Jason, 24:17 because, so oftentimes we think everything is under our control 24:20 and we manage everything. 24:22 Well, we manage things for God. 24:24 It's not our own. So yeah, it's fantastic. 24:26 What's interesting too, is as we grow in our maturity. 24:32 Yes. 24:33 I think we realized too, 24:35 or I'm starting to realize that, 24:37 you know, there's a time for everything, the Bible says. 24:40 So you know, as you grow up and mature, 24:44 you're building things up and your supplies 24:48 and those things that the Lord has blessed you, 24:50 but then you realize, you know, what is it for? 24:53 Is it for me? Is it for my brothers? 24:56 Is it for my family? 24:57 Am I gonna leave a legacy 25:00 to those that will come after me? 25:03 Or do I just share it with everyone? 25:07 And I think that's where we really need to consider 25:09 what is our purpose with those things that we have. 25:13 And I think the more we consider those things, 25:16 I remember R.G. LeTourneau. 25:19 He was a businessman and he decided 25:22 he was going to be a businessman for God. 25:25 And he quipped by saying that the more I give to God, 25:30 the more He returns to me. 25:32 And he says, you know, I just shovel it in 25:35 and the Lord shovels it back. 25:37 And he goes, there's one difference. 25:39 The Lord has a bigger shovel. 25:43 So many people think that, oh, you know, I can't give, 25:47 because I'm gonna lose out. 25:49 I'm gonna miss that opportunity. 25:51 But you have to remember that Jesus is looking 25:54 for that faithful steward. 25:57 He's looking to have a return on investment. 26:00 And the other thing is 26:02 that I thought was kind of interesting 26:04 if you look at Jesus as an investor. 26:07 Okay. Okay. 26:09 That He is gonna want a good return 26:11 on His investment. 26:12 Right? 26:14 I mean, because if God knows everything, 26:17 He wants those of us that are good stewards. 26:22 And if we return back to Him, 26:24 that's a return on His investment in us. 26:26 And the more we return, the more He gives, 26:29 the more He knows that we're gonna share with Him. 26:32 So that's an awesome opportunity 26:34 that we have 26:35 is to give up what we have for the Lord and for others, 26:40 because the more we see other people blessed by it, 26:44 I think that's the richer blessing that we receive 26:47 is when we see other people excited 26:50 about what the Lord has done through us. 26:52 Amen. That's really powerful. 26:54 My question now is, okay, 26:56 we understand that stewardship is important. 26:58 We understand that we are called to be stewards 27:01 and we manage the Lord's resources. 27:03 We understand that investment's important, 27:06 but why invest with 3ABN? 27:09 Why write a document with 3ABN? 27:12 Why I could give my money anywhere, right? 27:15 What is the benefit or how will it help evangelism 27:20 to do something with the Ministry of 3ABN? 27:24 Part of whatever you take and invest with 3ABN, 27:27 you're investing with the Lord 27:29 and a portion of that will go to His 27:32 spreading the gospel throughout the world. 27:35 So you can dedicate a small amount 27:38 of what you're investing, 27:39 or some people dedicate the entire balance 27:42 if they're at the end of their life. 27:44 So you are investing for yourself 27:47 and for the gospel, spreading the gospel. 27:50 You know, I think what is important to us, 27:53 what is important to me as an individual. 27:56 And I think when we look at the age 27:58 that we're living in, it's time to, 28:01 you know, not only share with what we have, 28:04 but also to give back. 28:07 And when I look at 3ABN, I look at what an opportunity 28:10 we have here at 3ABN to share the gospel and to use 28:14 these resources to millions of people around the world. 28:18 And I think what Jeff was saying was perfect 28:21 because, you know, a portion of what you give to 3ABN 28:27 goes to spread the gospel. 28:28 It does. 28:29 And what an amazing mission opportunity we have. 28:33 I'm just gonna tweak that one moment, 28:36 all of what you give to 3ABN goes to spread the gospel, 28:38 but you can choose a certain portion to go to 3ABN. 28:42 And then you can say, I want some to my children 28:45 or grandchildren or whatever you can spread that out, 28:47 but all of what you give to 3ABN 28:49 will go to help spread the gospel, 28:50 which I know is exactly what you meant. 28:51 Yeah. 28:53 You know I look more in a holistic, 28:54 because Trust Services has been in my blood for a few years. 28:58 Yeah, long time. Yeah. 28:59 I mean it's always good to remember family, 29:02 but when you give to 3ABN, 29:05 I can tell you that 3ABN uses your money 29:09 very respectfully and considers our resources. 29:15 And because of you, we're able to spread the gospel 29:19 and we use it very efficiently. 29:21 Oh, yes. 29:22 Yes, I think, it's being part of the good steward, 29:24 you know, 3ABN have to be good stewards of the funds 29:27 that God sends to the ministry through you. 29:30 So I know time's getting away from us here, 29:32 so let's just go down then the list 29:33 of the different documents. 29:35 Let's, should we start with cash trust? 29:38 So when we say cash trust, what does that mean? 29:41 So cash trust. 29:42 Well, and also taking a little groundwork. 29:45 Sure. 29:46 Different documents fit different age groups. 29:48 Okay. Sure. 29:49 And a cash trust actually fits all age groups 29:52 that are gainfully employed or with, have finances. 29:57 Okay. 29:58 Our cash trusts have been producing a much stronger 30:01 return on investment than in the bank 30:03 on a savings account or a CD. 30:06 Okay. 30:07 So it can be started with a minimum of $10,000 30:10 for one person or 20,000 for a couple. 30:12 Okay. You can add to it at any time. 30:15 And also you can take in withdrawal out of that account 30:18 for your own personal needs throughout the years. 30:20 Okay. 30:22 And if you take and leave that in there and let it accrue, 30:24 and it grows. 30:26 And whenever you become a senior 30:28 and possibly you are not able to live at home anymore, 30:31 those funds that are in your cash trust, 30:34 and you go to a seniors living facility, 30:37 they can send your monthly invoice to us 30:40 and we can take and pay out 30:43 your monthly expenses out of your cash trust. 30:46 Wow. 30:47 So that is a benefit for you 30:49 whenever you get to that point in life. 30:51 Okay. 30:52 So how is that? Go ahead. Yeah. 30:53 What I like about the cash trust too, is it's revocable. 30:56 So any time you know, life changes, things happen, 31:01 but you can just withdraw the money for, 31:05 you know, those purposes in life. 31:07 But I like what Jeff said is it is an instrument 31:10 for all ages that earns a really good interest 31:13 that you can take the money out at any time. 31:16 And it's a great tool 31:19 and you can look at it as a tool in a toolbox. 31:22 That this tool is for all ages 31:24 and it's very versatile 31:27 and it earns a very good interest 31:30 especially with the market we're living in now. 31:33 And it's a great way... 31:34 It depends on the market 31:36 as far as what the interest would be. 31:37 And it's a great way to invest your money with 3ABN. 31:40 Amen. 31:41 Now we mentioned, I just wanna bring up this caveat. 31:44 We mentioned it is irrevocable, which it is, 31:46 but there is a certain point where the cash... 31:48 It is revocable. Sorry. It is revocable. 31:50 That's what I meant to say. Thank you... 31:52 Which means that at any time you can change your mind 31:55 You can cancel, you can withdraw 31:56 those funds out, but there is a certain point 31:58 where it would become irrevocable 32:01 When would that point be? 32:03 So you wanna Yeah, go ahead, Jeff. 32:04 Whenever you are not able to make good decisions. 32:08 Okay. 32:09 If you take and would pass, it is irrevocable. 32:13 If you are diagnosed with a dementia 32:15 and the doctor says you are not able to make good decisions, 32:18 it's irrevocable. 32:20 But until that point, it would be revocable, 32:23 so, okay. 32:24 And that's what's nice about that tool 32:25 is because it's already set in place. 32:28 So if something happens to you, 32:30 you know, Greg, you said that 32:32 if we get into a car accident and something happens to us, 32:36 will then that cash trust based on how it's written, 32:40 will go and continue the service 32:42 that it's designed for. 32:43 So question there, 32:44 because we're talking about blessing, 32:46 you know, the Ministry of 3ABN. 32:47 So how does this document far as trust 32:49 or the cash trust then help? 32:51 Because I know, 32:52 there's a minimum on the percentage 32:53 that would go to 3ABN. 32:55 So just for the sake of, let's just say... 32:57 This is... Twenty five percent. 32:58 Twenty five percent. Okay. 33:00 Yes. Would, is the minimum? 33:01 Is the minimum when you initially sign up 33:04 your cash trust. 33:05 But if like Jason said in the course of time, 33:08 if life circumstances change, you have a change of heart, 33:12 you can withdraw the entire amount 33:13 and not leave anything for 3ABN. 33:16 So the question that I have is when does 3ABN 33:19 become a beneficiary of this cash trust? 33:22 Well, that's a good question. 33:23 That's a great question At their passing 33:26 is when they would become a beneficiary. 33:28 Now, could they give it during their lifetime? 33:31 They certainly can. Will somebody do that? 33:33 That's right. 33:35 So, you know, we've seen people, 33:36 they give their interest or a portion of their interest 33:39 back to 3ABN on a regular basis. 33:43 And if they see a program that they like, 33:44 or we, there's a mission or a project we're doing, 33:48 they just say, please take it out of my cash trust 33:50 and donate to 3ABN. 33:51 And that's all done by Planned Giving, right? 33:53 And the accounting departments, 33:54 it's very painless. 33:56 It's very easy. 33:57 We have a very friendly staff over there. 33:58 They enjoy talking with all of our... 34:00 Yes, our family. 34:02 Our family. Exactly. 34:04 So we get calls all the time. 34:05 What I love about the cash trust 34:07 is its many sizes fit all. 34:09 Correct. 34:10 You know, it's not just a one size fits all and you 34:12 have to fit in a certain box, 34:13 but you have many different options within that. 34:16 You can say, right now, 34:17 I really wanna give more of my funds 34:19 and I want to bless 3ABN now. 34:20 Well, you can do that. 34:22 Right now I really have a need 34:23 and I need to withdraw some funds. 34:25 Well, you can do that. 34:26 Right now this is what I want to do with my interest. 34:28 Well, you can do that. So what a blessing? 34:31 What about the charitable gift annuities? 34:32 What are those? 34:34 Those are for the more senior adults, 34:36 those are for people 65 and older. 34:38 They become real attractive over 70. 34:40 And it is a contract that you are entering 34:42 into that is irrevocable. 34:45 And so you purchase those, a minimum of $5,000 per person, 34:50 or 10,000 for a couple. 34:52 And they will take and provide you a monthly, 34:55 quarterly, or annually annual payment 34:58 for the rest of your life. 34:59 And if it's a joint account, 35:00 if one of the two of you would pass, 35:03 then it will take and proceed on to the surviving spouse. 35:06 And it's a fixed interest rate, right? 35:09 Fixed interest rate at the time that you take out 35:12 your charitable gift annuity. 35:14 And just a course of a comment, 35:17 we just had a gentleman that took and contacted me. 35:19 And I went down to him and visited with him, 35:21 a charming, wonderful person. 35:23 And he wanted to take 35:25 and get a charitable gift annuity. 35:26 Okay. 35:27 And he took and funded it with some cash 35:30 that he had at home. 35:31 Hey, I brought it up here and we set it up for him 35:33 and it did not quite meet the monthly interest payment. 35:37 And I asked him, I said, 35:39 "Is it going to be a problem 35:40 if you just get your interest quarterly?" 35:42 And he said, "Oh, I just should get it annually. 35:44 Can I get it annually?" 35:46 And to take and lead to this, he's 99 years old. 35:49 So he has a very good outlook on life. 35:54 He wants his interest annually at 99. 35:58 I love his outlook on life. That's great. 36:00 It's fantastic. 36:02 What I like about the charitable gift annuity 36:04 is the older you get the higher the rate of return is. 36:07 Absolutely. 36:08 So, and I don't wanna leave out the younger people, 36:11 you know, the ones that are in the 50s. 36:14 So there is an option for those. 36:17 And that is you can do a deferred 36:19 share with a gift annuity. 36:21 So you don't get payments until you get a little older 36:24 or at a point that you want it. 36:26 You can set it up earlier. You can set it up earlier. 36:29 So if you have some money that you don't know what to do with, 36:31 and you just love 3ABN, which I hope you do. 36:35 And you can just give it to 3ABN, 36:37 do a deferred charitable gift annuity. 36:39 We can hold that money, invest. 36:42 And then at a point in time, 36:44 we then start giving you the payments. 36:46 And that's all part of the document 36:48 that is written, that is signed and it becomes irrevocable 36:51 for the rest of your life. 36:53 And that's a cool instrument that we can give people. 36:56 And I wanna just mention this too. 36:57 We've been mentioning investing and things like that. 36:59 And we just want to know too, Jason, you can comment on this, 37:01 but we invest in what are considered responsible stocks, 37:05 not unlike alcohol and those types of things. 37:07 So we wanna be, 'cause again, 37:08 we believe in being good stewards. 37:10 God's asked us to be very careful with the funds. 37:12 So, yeah, we stay away from the sin stocks 37:17 and I call it the veggie fund. 37:19 So anything that's, you know, that's socially responsible. 37:23 That's the word I was looking for. 37:24 And I think we have a good team 37:28 of financial advisors that we use. 37:30 And it's a great blessing to use 37:33 these type of instruments for the Lord's response. 37:37 You know, and I think as stewards, 37:39 we need to be very responsible in how we invest the money. 37:42 Invest it, so there's not a lot of risk, 37:46 but also prudently. 37:48 Can I go back to the charitable gift for a moment? 37:51 So we talked about the older you are, 37:53 the greater your return of investment, 37:55 but that does not mean that say I'm 65 37:58 and I enter into a charitable gift annuity. 37:59 I signed the agreement 38:01 and then the next year, hey, I'm 66 now, 38:03 my interest rate should go up. 38:04 That's not how it works, right? 38:06 So explain to me how that would work. 38:09 If your interest rate is set at the time of the contract 38:12 and in the deferred you can take and choose a date 38:16 in the future at what age you want to take 38:18 and start drawing that. 38:19 But it, normally someone 65 or older would enter 38:23 into the contract and their age. 38:25 And if it's a husband or wife, 38:26 it's based on a combination of the two. 38:29 So that... It's like the average age... 38:32 Correct. Yeah. 38:33 You take the husband and wife 38:35 and it's all based on actuary tables 38:38 and life expectancy. 38:40 So, yeah, so Jeff, you said it perfectly, 38:44 you know, but usually if you have two people 38:47 because you have now twice as many options 38:52 for giving based on the lifetime 38:55 that the rate is usually a little bit less. 38:57 If you have one person, it's usually a little bit more, 39:01 but it's all based on a metric that we use crescendo program 39:05 to make that happen. 39:07 So, Jeff, what percentage comes to 3ABN? 39:09 So someone does an annuity and they did it, 39:12 to say at 70, and they live a few years, 39:14 10 years of so and they passed away. 39:15 How does that work percentage wise coming to 3ABN? 39:18 Whenever you pass, 39:19 and this is all depends on longevity 39:21 and Adventist have good longevity. 39:23 Yes. 39:25 So sometimes they draw out all their funds 39:27 and there nothing that comes to 3ABN. 39:29 Okay. 39:30 But then sometimes if you have a short life expectancy 39:33 and you invested $50,000, possibly $45,000 39:37 would be coming to 3ABN. 39:38 Okay. 39:39 So it's a balance left in their account 39:41 at the time of their passing. 39:42 So can part of an annuity go to family members, 39:44 or that doesn't work that way with an annuity, 39:46 because I know with cash trust, 39:47 you can send some to other ministries, 39:49 to their family members and to 3ABN, 39:50 but can they do that with an annuity? 39:52 No. 39:54 Yeah, you know, annuities, since they're a contract, 39:57 it is our responsibility 39:59 that we make those payments for the rest of your life. 40:02 So we have a great responsibility 40:04 to keep that contract up. 40:05 And therefore basically what happens once 40:10 the annuitant passes away, then those monies stay 40:15 or get used in the ministry. 40:17 And that's when annuities are benefiting 3ABN. 40:21 Exactly. Yeah. 40:23 When you pass away, 40:24 whatever's left based on that contract, 40:26 and we keep every annuity 40:28 separate from others that we have. 40:32 And so that goes into the ministry 40:34 and it increases who we are and what we do. 40:37 Good. Wow. 40:39 So this is, in my simple mind 40:41 I'm saying a cash trust is revocable. 40:44 I can enter into it at any age. That's correct. 40:47 And I can choose, I want 25% to go to 3ABN 40:50 when I pass away or I want a larger percentage, 40:52 I can make those choices. 40:53 I want these family members, whatever. 40:55 A charitable gift annuity is irrevocable. 40:59 I get a guaranteed fixed income, 41:01 depending on the age I enter into it. 41:03 And I need to be 65 to take one out, 41:06 or I could be in my 50s and I could defer the payments. 41:09 Is that correct? Yeah. 41:10 I mean, 65, 64, you know, 41:12 it's basically in the 60s because the later you wait 41:17 the higher the rate of payment you get. 41:20 And to talk about interest rates and more 41:21 of the detail, of course, in a few minutes, 41:22 we're going to be giving the address roll 41:24 for a phone number. 41:25 You can reach Jeff and your team 41:26 there to talk more details, interest rates, 41:28 and ages and all that kind of stuff, 41:30 because there's a lot of information we're trying 41:33 to compact this into about 50 minutes. 41:34 And I'm sure you have a lot more questions 41:37 than we're sharing here. 41:39 Yeah, sure. 41:40 What about a SAT, a self administered trust? 41:42 What is the self administered trust? 41:44 That's a trust where you are the trustor 41:46 and the trustee and it is... 41:48 Oh, wow. Yes. 41:49 And it's revocable, 41:51 you can put your real estate in it and you can manage 41:52 it that way and you can set up beneficiaries. 41:56 You can take and make all types of prearranged 41:59 decisions with that. 42:01 And if life changes, you can change it. 42:04 So you have something you wanna add to it. 42:05 Well, yeah. 42:07 So I enjoy SATs because the trustor 42:11 and the trustee are you who are creating it. 42:14 Now, usually you wanna create it with an organization 42:18 that you believe that you're gonna be giving part 42:20 of the benefit to. 42:23 So remembering 3ABN is a great part of the SAT. 42:28 What I like about SAT is as you're alive, 42:32 you can manage your own manage the assets 42:34 that the Lord has blessed you with. 42:36 And when you get to the point where either you don't want 42:38 to manage anymore, you can just say 3ABN 42:42 we'd like you to manage it for us. 42:44 And that's a great opportunity, too, because as we get older, 42:47 we're not able to do some of the things. 42:48 Maybe we have a lot of land or assets 42:52 that it's hard for us to manage. 42:54 In those times you may wanna say, 42:56 okay, it's time for me to pass it on 42:58 and let someone else manage it. 43:00 So the SAT be something like a will, 43:03 or is it within a place of a will? 43:05 Well, I would say 43:07 it's just another tool in your toolbox. 43:09 So a SAT is something that you wanna manage 43:15 and you have a document that says, 43:17 well, this is what I wanna do. 43:19 You know, to keep things out of probate, 43:22 that's what they use SATs for. 43:24 Yeah, you know, I've heard that 'cause a lot of times 43:26 when someone passes away, things get held up in court 43:28 or the probate aspect 43:29 and it can be a long drawn out process. 43:31 So with SAT you don't have to worry about probate. 43:33 No, but what I like about these documents too, 43:36 is what you wanna do now while you're living, 43:40 while you're cognitively, 43:41 you know, looking at your legacy, 43:44 what you wanna do in the future, 43:46 you can put that in the document. 43:48 So if anything happens to you at any time, 43:51 you are, you can feel good that everything is there for you. 43:55 Everything is set for you to move forward. 43:59 One thing that needs to come out of the program 44:01 is whether you invest with 3ABN or not. 44:04 Everyone needs to have some documents in place 44:07 because you want to take, you work, 44:10 you have a family, you've paid plans, 44:12 and you want your legacy to live on past your passing. 44:15 So you need some type of documents. 44:18 You need a basic will if you don't have a will. 44:20 Trust are good to have in conjunction with that. 44:23 So whether you have one with 3ABN, 44:25 or whether you take and go to your local attorney, 44:27 you need to take and be proactive. 44:30 That's good. 44:31 Because if you're not, you know, 44:32 in our auction business, 44:34 we have taken and gotten involved in a lot of estates 44:36 where they didn't prepare. 44:38 And there was a lot of confusion 44:39 and the courts had to step in 44:41 and the court ordered the disposal 44:43 and the distribution of their assets. 44:45 And you know that they didn't all follow 44:48 the wishes of the person that passed. 44:50 Yeah, that's a good point. 44:52 It's really good. It is a good point. 44:54 And what I like about 44:55 what you said too is you don't have 44:57 to write documents with 3ABN 45:00 in order for 3ABN to be a beneficiary. 45:03 So your conference or your attorney, 45:06 as you shared, you can remember 3ABN 45:08 with a percentage or a dollar amount. 45:10 And that way, you know, 45:12 what you're interested now can continue for eternity. 45:17 And we get that from time to time here, 45:18 we'll be contacted and say 3ABN is a beneficiary, 45:21 we had no idea, but someone had written 45:23 something with their attorney or with a local conference 45:25 or somebody else. 45:26 Yes, just last week. 45:28 I think the month's income was a little bit less... 45:30 and I received a check 45:32 that was a beneficiary that was... 45:33 We had no idea what's coming to us. 45:35 No idea what was coming, it was such a blessing. 45:36 Oh, I know. Yes. 45:38 Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. 45:39 And I think Revelation 14:13 45:41 is one that you've referred to in the past. 45:44 And it says that they may rest from their labors 45:46 and their works will follow them. 45:48 Praise the Lord. What a blessing? 45:50 It's a promise. It is, right? 45:51 Yeah, you go to sleep in Jesus 45:53 and you have everything's in place. 45:55 Yeah. Your works do follow you. 45:56 What a blessing to know that what you wanted 45:58 to have happen is going to happen. 46:01 You know, instead of saying, well, 46:02 someone else is gonna make those decisions. 46:04 No, you have the privilege and opportunity 46:06 to make those decisions now while you can. 46:09 And so that is a gift in itself. 46:10 Well, and it's just peace of mind. 46:12 So you know, that you've planned, 46:14 you've been a good steward and you have documents 46:18 that you can continue on. 46:20 And it's just a blessing and it, 46:22 you know, peace of mind. 46:23 It's nice as we get older too. 46:25 We should briefly talk about CRUT then. Okay. 46:28 'Cause I know that time has just gone by so fast, 46:29 so many things to talk about, but Jason, 46:31 tell us about CRUTs Charitable remainder unitrust, 46:34 they are called CRUTs and so why a CRUT? 46:37 Right? 46:38 So it's a little more complex document. 46:41 If you have a appreciated piece of property land, 46:47 you can donate it to 3ABN. 46:49 We would create a CRUT and it's usually a 5% interest 46:53 that we give back to you for the rest of your life. 46:56 Is that a guaranteed 5%? It's a guaranteed 5%. 46:58 It's an irrevocable document. 47:02 So for the rest of your life we take that instrument 47:06 or that investment and we reinvest it 47:08 and then you get 5% on that for the rest of your life. 47:12 So it's a great tool. 47:14 You don't have to worry about capital gains. 47:16 So if you have appreciated property, 47:19 it's a great opportunity for you. 47:21 You know, many of us, we have land, 47:23 we have something that we just don't use any more. 47:25 It's just sitting there 47:27 and we wanna put it to good use. 47:28 A charitable remainder unitrust 47:31 is that instrument that would work really well 47:33 for those types of properties. 47:35 That's good. 47:37 Could you not take a fund, 47:39 a charitable gift annuity with real estate or stocks as well? 47:42 I would say yes. 47:44 It's a little more complex. 47:45 However, a charitable gift annuity, 47:48 you could do that, but the capital gains follow 47:52 whereas in a charitable remainder unitrust it does not. 47:58 So you just get a payment for the rest of your life 48:01 and it's a good way to donate to 3ABN. 48:07 And then at the end, when someone passes away 48:09 with this CRUT, then it goes to 3ABN. 48:14 So it's a great instrument. 48:15 It's a little more complex, 48:17 but it's for property that has some complexities to it. 48:23 And it's usually with property that CRUTs work well. 48:27 And that one is irrevocable the charitable trust 48:30 where the SAT, the self administered trust 48:32 is revocable 48:34 or you're the trustor and the trustee. 48:36 And, but then it would be the same as the cash trust 48:39 where at the time of your passing 48:41 or mental incapacity we could save. 48:45 And in that case it would become irrevocable? 48:46 Correct. Okay. Yeah. 48:48 So you would get payments either quarterly or monthly 48:51 or even annually with the CRUT, 48:54 just like a cash trust or annuity. 48:56 Yeah. 48:58 I think the beauty of these documents 48:59 are instruments tools in a toolbox. 49:01 I like that, you know, it's benefiting you 49:05 the Ministry of 3ABN. 49:06 You put your children or other ministries. 49:08 We have people who actually include other ministries 49:11 as well, but it's really... 49:15 I would say a benefit to you, 49:17 but also to 3ABN and for evangelism. 49:19 And so, Jeff, I know you and your team, 49:21 you're willing to talk to people on the phone. 49:23 It's about building relationships. 49:25 We're all talking about that 'cause you're all our family 49:27 and so just talking to you, 49:29 it's not a sales pitch when you call, 49:30 there's no pressure. 49:31 It's just, you got a question like, oh, okay, just yeah, 49:33 call up Jeff or Jason or any of us. 49:36 And we'll of course pass you along 49:37 to the Planned Giving team, but there's no pressure. 49:40 And again, we're in here to support the family as well. 49:42 We are here to support the family 49:43 and we encourage that you remember your family. 49:46 Absolutely. 49:47 You know, they are very, very viable, 49:49 very important part of your life. 49:50 So you should include your family, 49:52 but 3ABN is part of your family. 49:54 We have several people that on their beneficiaries, 49:57 they may have three children and they include 49:59 3ABN as the fourth child. 50:01 I love that. So yes that's... 50:05 That's definitely a family if you're listening. 50:06 It is, yeah. That's great. 50:08 Talk to us just a moment about your staff. 50:09 We haven't referenced Nancy office manager and Tracy. 50:12 So talk to someone, 50:13 if they call in who they might get? 50:14 You will, Nancy O'Brien is our office manager. 50:17 She is a wonderful lady, a good Christian women, 50:21 and has a wonderful heart and mind for the Lord. 50:24 And she will be glad to help you. 50:26 And Tracy is just as sweet as she can be 50:28 and loves to talk to you and pray with you. 50:30 And either one of them can answer your questions 50:33 and help you if you have any questions 50:35 with anything that you've heard here today. 50:37 Amen. Absolutely. 50:39 You know, there's a lot of... 50:41 We've talked a lot about a lot of different instruments today 50:45 or documents or tools in the toolbox. 50:48 And you might be saying I'm a little confused, 50:50 which ones were irrevocable, which ones were revocable. 50:53 What was the percentage I was getting again? 50:55 And how do I know 50:57 how I'm gonna include my family and 3ABN. 51:00 And what percentage do I wanna give? 51:02 So you might just have questions. 51:04 So if that's the case, 51:06 we want to give you the contact information 51:08 for our Planned Giving and Trust Services Department, 51:11 or you might be saying my mind's made up. 51:14 I already know what I wanna do and I wanna help 51:17 spread the gospel through the Ministry of 3ABN. 51:22 If that's the case, we are here for you, 51:25 or you might just be uncertain 51:26 what you want to do for the future. 51:28 If that's the case, we're here to pray with you 51:31 and for you and walk you through this journey. 51:34 So here's the information for you to contact us. 51:38 For more information about 3ABN 51:41 Planned Giving and Trust Services, 51:43 and to find out how your giving 51:45 can benefit 3ABN and your family. 51:48 Please call us 51:49 at 1-800-866-4800. 51:54 That's 1-800-866-4800. 51:59 You can also visit our website 52:01 at 3abn.tv/plannedGiving. 52:06 Our email address is TrustServices@3abn.org 52:11 And our mailing address is PO Box 220, 52:15 West Frankfort, Illinois 62896. |
