An Act of Love
Before Dr. Gary Chapman was a bestselling author, he was a husband in a struggling marriage. His wife was frustrated that he didn’t help around the house. He was disappointed she didn’t respond to his encouraging words.
“One night she said to me, ‘You keep saying “I love you,” but if you love me, why don’t you help me?” That’s when understood that each person expressed love differently. This discovery led to Gary’s book The Five Love Languages, a resource that has helped millions of people.*
Have you ever thought about legacy planning as an act of love? Creating a will is a declaration of care for your family, as well as ministries—like Global Disciples—that are close to your heart. It’s a loving deed that:
- Serves your family. Creating a will ensures your financial house is in order, your final wishes are clear, and your family is saved from additional stress and expense.
- Shares what matters. Your will is an opportunity to communicate with your loved ones—both in heartfelt words and in how you choose to share God’s blessings—what’s most important to you: your faith, values, and beliefs.
- Spreads the love. A gift in your will to Global Disciples helps us extend God’s love to the people we serve. Your loving generosity embodies Jesus’ words in John 13: “As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this, everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
Your legacy plan is a loving expression of your heart.
If you’d like further resources on creating your legacy plan, or questions to ask, you can contact our team at Global Disciples, or learn more here.
