Investing In Families and Their Future
Stewarding The Giver And The Gift
Have you given it much thought? It’s a way of life that begins when we say, “Everything I am and everything I have belongs to the Lord.” But it doesn’t stop there. For the Owner of our possessions doesn’t merely ask us to manage his material assets with wise discernment (Matthew 25:14-30). He also expects us to invest them in task of caring for his greatest treasure— His people (Matthew25:30—45).
If you have wrestled with implications of steward’s life, you’ve probably come to an important realization: Giving is a simple concept; giving wisely and effectively can be a complicated challenge. That’s where Living Waters Church,Inc Stewardship Ministry comes in. If you’re looking to provide for your loved ones, touch lived for Christ and advance God’s Kingdom in the most direct and efficient manner possible, we’re here to help.
“You can’t take it with you” - the old saying is still true. But you can send it ahead to a place where its power to bless is maximized beyond your wildest dreams. That’s stewardship.
Stocks and Mutual Funds
Gifts of appreciated securities are a smart and simple way to maximize the effectiveness of your charitable giving. If stocks or mutual funds* you’ve held for more than a year have increased in value, you may want to consider using these assets - rather than cash - to fund your giving. By transferring ownership of your stocks to Living Waters Church,Inc, you make a gift that supports the ministry and avoids the capital gains tax you would pay if the stock were sold. As with a cash gift, you may also claim a charitable income tax deduction for the current fair market value of the asset, providing you itemize deductions on your income tax return and have owned the stocks for more than one year.
* Does not apply to tax-exempt retirement plans ( e.g., IRAs, 401(k)s, etc.)
