Brenda
Liaison for Strategic
Partner Services

Thank you for visiting our website. I want to serve you and your family by sharing some helpful financial planning information. We have an increasing number of friends who are benefiting from our gift annuity program.

Annuities are a wonderful way to receive a charitable deduction and receive current (or deferred) income during your lifetime. You can donate cash or stock to fund a gift annuity. When your life is over on this earth you will leave a legacy to persecuted Christians around the world.

Benefits of the VOM Gift Annuity Program:
1. A current income tax deduction
2. Higher payment rates than most CD's, which means higher income for life
3. A portion of your income tax-free
4. An immediate donation to support the persecuted church
5. Available deferment periods to increase both future income and current income-tax deductions
6. A future gift to further the cause of the persecuted church

Benefits for Family and The Voice of the Martyrs

There are several types of plans. Many of these have wonderful benefits for the gift donors. Many of these families have enjoyed increased income and generous tax savings. Just click on the picture and you can view each story. These stories are not actual VOM donors and are for illustrative purposes only.
