Your Story Isn’t Finished—
It’s Just Beginning for the Next Generation

We all want our lives to matter—to leave a legacy that lasts. For those who’ve encountered Jesus, that desire becomes a call to share His hope and transformation with others. But can we give in a way that reflects our faith and fits our life stage?

Good news—you can.

This issue of Faithful Generosity invites you to see estate and gift planning not just as a financial decision, but as a powerful act of worship and trust. It’s a sacred opportunity to align your resources with your faith—and extend your legacy to the next generation.

Whether you're beginning your career, approaching retirement, or prayerfully shaping your legacy, here are giving options that honor both your heart and your unique life stage.

We’d love to share our complimentary guide, Planning Options for Your Stage in Life, designed to help you explore meaningful, manageable ways to make an eternal impact through InterVarsity’s ministry.

Your story with Jesus is still unfolding—and it can speak powerfully into the lives of students and faculty across the country. Through estate and gift planning, your generosity becomes a declaration of God’s faithfulness— a testimony that proclaims His power to those who are still seeking and strengthens the faith of those who already believe.
