THE GIFT OF CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

In 2017, an anonymous donor contacted Calvary Provision with a desire to designate a gift that would specifically go to support Christian education. The impact of this gift will be felt for generations. Watch how that was made possible.

FULFILLING A MINISTRY PASSION

DONOR’S PASSION

On a Calvary mission trip to care for missionaries, God touched the heart of a couple to provide for the needs of missionaries’ children through Provision.

How Calvary Provision served the couple:

  • Clarified the donors’ gift purpose, options and gift guidelines
  • Established a donor agreement for the gift according to the guidelines
  • Coordinated the gift with the mission office
  • Provided for the needs of missionary children
  • Reported back to the couple on the use of the funds

As a result, the couple found joy and purpose in fulfilling their passion of meeting the needs of missionaries’ children

EXTENDING THEIR LEGACY

DONOR’S GOAL

After a lifetime of blessing and tithing, a couple wanted to extend their giving beyond their lifetimes.

How Calvary Provision served the couple:

  • Provided a platform that produced tax-efficient giving from their estate
  • Paid for estate planning services from PhilanthroCorp
  • Maintained contact with donors during their lifetimes to stay current with their gift intentions

As a result, the couple was able to provide for Calvary’s ongoing ministry beyond their lifetimes.

SHARING FINANCIAL BLESSINGS

DONOR’S GOAL

A business owner asked for assistance prior to a business sale. The owner discovered he could expand his giving to Calvary Day School by structuring the sale to save taxes.

How Calvary Provision served the owner:

  • Helped create a team that included their financial advisor, CPA, and attorneys to develop and implement a tax-efficient business sale
  • Advised owner on generosity options outside Calvary Provision
  • Documented donor’s intentions in a donor agreement
  • Coordinated with Calvary Day School for gift planning

The business owner converted business assets into ministry funds at Calvary Provision (and other charities) to help even more children have access to Christian Education.

INVITING PLACES TO WORSHIP
& MAKE DISCIPLES

DONOR’S GOAL

Senior Pastor and Deacons felt led by God to extend Calvary’s ministry among Hispanics in southern Winston-Salem by purchasing an existing church building (now called Calvary Southside).

How Calvary Provision served the donors:

  • Worked with Senior Pastor and Deacons to develop a plan to raise the funds to buy and renovate the building.
  • Supported the communication of the strategy to the church body

Funds raised exceeded the $700,000 goal. Calvary Southside thrives today with worship, Bible studies, and the FROG ministry to local students.

We see God working through Calvary. In trials and joy, lives are being transformed by the power of Christ. Believers are worshipping God and sharing the love of Christ locally and around the world. Students are receiving a first-class education with a Biblical world view.
