GIFT PLANNING CAN ENSURE THAT YOUR CHARITABLE INTENT IS HONORED IN YOUR OVERALL ESTATE PLAN.
Gift planning can ensure that your charitable intent is honored in your overall estate plan. Much of financial planning is focused on wealth creation and preservation. Often, the estate planning process can become an extension of that same focus. Working with our Gift Planning Counselor can enable you to keep your focus on managing God’s gifts for God’s purposes, for both family and ministry.  
Contact Ray Pagels, Christian Gift Planning Counselor, at his cell: 847-226-2262 or email raymondpagels1@gmail.com for guidance and assistance.
