Leaving a gift to Baptist World Aid Australia in your Will.

If you're wondering whether your life has made a positive impact on the world, here is one way you can make sure it does. Share the power of your Will.

Surprisingly many people do not know the impact that a Will can have. Your Will has the potential to change lives. Your Will can help to provide for loved ones, make gifts of personal possessions to friends, and make special contributions to charities.

Leaving a gift to Baptist World Aid Australia is your opportunity to make a lasting impact on the lives of those around you, or even people in need you’ve never met. It really is a matter to be carefully and prayerfully considered.

Family values
A gift in your Will left to a valued ministry is a wonderful gift. Not only will you leave an important legacy to an organisation that you trust and support, but you will also pass on an important message to future generations about the things that you hold dear. Imagine the impact that this can have on your family and friends, children and grandchildren!

Writing your Will
Things change, and your Will needs to be updated to reflect those changes. Milestones in life like marriage, children, grandchildren, or moving to a new home are events which may change the way you would like your estate managed. It is important that your Will reflects your wishes as they are today.

Baptist World Aid Australia has developed a simple guide to help keep your Will up to date.
