What kind of legacy do you hope to leave behind?
For many Christians, the answer goes beyond financial assets or possessions. We want our lives to reflect a lasting commitment to the things that matter most—our faith, our families, and the work of sharing the Gospel.
While estate planning isn’t something most people enjoy thinking about, it can be one of the most thoughtful ways to care for the future. By making intentional plans today, you can provide for your loved ones, steward God’s blessings wisely, and continue supporting the ministries that have shaped your walk with Christ.
Every gift God entrusts to us is an opportunity to serve Him. Throughout Scripture, believers are called to be faithful stewards—not only in the present but with an eye toward future generations.
One way many Christians choose to extend their impact is by including a ministry they care about in their will or trust. Whether it’s a specific dollar amount, a percentage of an estate, or another planned gift, these decisions can help ensure that the message of Jesus continues reaching people for years to come.
Other options may include naming a ministry as a beneficiary of a retirement account, life insurance policy, or other financial asset. These types of gifts can often be arranged with a simple form and may provide additional benefits for your estate and heirs.
No matter the method, planned giving allows your faith and generosity to continue making a difference long after you’re gone.
Why Haven Partners with Barnabas Foundation
At Haven Ministries, we want to make planned giving as simple and helpful as possible. That’s why we partner with the Barnabas Foundation, a trusted Christian organization that has been helping believers steward their resources wisely since 1976.
Through this partnership, Haven supporters have access to complimentary planning assistance and guidance for more complex gifts. The Barnabas Foundation can help answer questions, explain charitable giving options, and ensure your plans reflect both your family’s needs and your desire to support Gospel-centered ministry.
Whether you’re creating a will for the first time or exploring more advanced giving strategies, their experienced team can help you navigate the process with confidence and clarity. You can explore their free planning resources through the Barnabas Foundation Interactive Planning Center.
You don’t need to be an estate planning expert, and you don’t need to have everything figured out before getting started. No matter your age or the size of your estate, taking thoughtful steps today can provide peace of mind for you and your loved ones.
More importantly, it allows your commitment to Gospel ministry to continue for generations to come.
For more than 90 years, Haven Ministries has been proclaiming the hope of Jesus through daily broadcasts, digital outreach, devotionals, podcasts, and global ministry efforts. Every day, people around the world are encouraged to behold and follow Christ through content that keeps it all about Jesus.
When you include Haven in your plans, you’re helping ensure that future generations will continue hearing the life-changing message of the Gospel.
Many of the ministries making an impact today exist because faithful believers chose to invest in Kingdom work beyond their lifetime. Their generosity helped provide resources, support missionaries, strengthen churches, and share the hope of Christ with people they would never personally meet.
You have the same opportunity.
A planned gift isn’t simply a financial decision—it’s an expression of faith. It’s a way of saying that the Gospel matters, that future generations matter, and that God’s work should continue long after our earthly lives have ended.
