A Gift that Keeps on Giving!
What kind of gift can you give that keeps on giving even way beyond your lifetime? In our Association of Churches, we have many dear saints that are departing this earth for their eternal reward that have lived a missional lifestyle. Perhaps you may be encouraged by this story to follow this example and donate in honor or memory of someone you love to our New Work Foundation.
Have you or one of your loved ones considered making a gift that keeps on giving? There are numerous options, a memorial or “in honor” gift, life insurance or your will or estate. Contact Bobby Gilstrap, Executive Director of our New Work Foundation to assist you at 770-483-2776 or
