Make a bequest

In Matthew 28, Jesus concludes his great commission by assuring his disciples that he will be with them until the very end of the age.

As God’s people share the message of his grace across cultures, locations and generations, Christ is always present. The hope of eternity always has, and always will be central to God’s global mission.

Under God, CMS missionaries have been taking the gospel to the ends of the earth for over 200 years. As we continue to seek a world that knows Jesus today, we give thanks for our rich heritage of commitment to cross-cultural mission. We pray with confidence that God will continue to work through CMS for generations to come.

For many, it has been a lifelong joy to support the work of the gospel through CMS and this is something they want to see reflected in their will.

We thank God for your committed partnership to cross-cultural mission with CMS and we appreciate your consideration of supporting this work through your will.
