A will to share Jesus:
make a gift in your will to give life to others
Dear CMS family member
Sarah, who was abandoned as a baby has been fostered with help from Jenny Green, a CMS mission partner working at Potter’s Village in Uganda. Jenny has been supported by gifts in wills.

As I grow in knowledge and understanding of CMS, I find myself again and again moved and humbled by the incredible commitment and loyalty of our supporters.
Each day, we are encouraged that you, like us, want the world to know Jesus.
In our 200 year history, hundreds of thousands of men and women have supported us throughout their lives – as they lived sacrificially for Christ.
Many left a lasting legacy to CMS, through a gift in their wills. I am writing humbly to ask you to do the same.
You may not be aware that, traditionally, one quarter of the money we receive from supporters comes through gifts in wills.
I must be honest with you – gifts in wills are absolutely vital for us to continue sharing Jesus and changing lives all over the world.
We fully understand that you will want to remember your family and friends in your will. Yet we sincerely hope that – as a follower of Jesus with a heart for mission – you will also choose to remember our work.
Be assured that we are most grateful for gifts of every size, and commit to using every gift prayerfully and with integrity.
Should you decide you wish to support us in this way, we have created a jargon-free guide to including CMS in your will (see right), which we hope you will find helpful – and which you can take to your solicitor to discuss. It would also be very useful to us if you could complete the short form to the right.
My deepest gratitude for all you do to support mission work around the world: your wonderful service gives life to others.
Yours, in his great love
Philip
