Planned Giving

Leaving a Legacy

The benefits of planned giving are eternal.

You decide now how you want your dollars to be distributed! “Do your giving while you’re living so you’re knowing where it’s going!” said Adrian Rogers about planned giving. It is a matter of stewardship, so don’t leave it to someone else who may not share your priorities.
You make plans to pay less in taxes! You can limit the amount of your estate that goes to Uncle Sam, so that you “dis-inherit” the government. The specifics vary according to a range of factors, but tax breaks are a major advantage to making a planned giving arrangement.
For more information about planned giving, email development@mabts.edu, and we will set up a time to meet and discuss options that will provide more funds to those you want to have it and less funds to those you don’t!

Lighting the Way for the Next Generation

each generation needs a witness for jesus. The students who come to Mid-America have boldly and faithfully answered God’s call to lead their generation in service to God. They aspire to become the next:

  • Missionaries
  • Pastors
  • Counselors
  • Worship Leaders
  • Professors

These are not professions that command exorbitant salaries. Our students are not in it for the money. They are pursuing God and want to see lives changed for Jesus.

This is why you, our donors, are so essential. Your gifts allow Mid-America students to keep their focus on ministry, not debt. You allow each student to graduate unencumbered by student-loan debt so they can freely go where God sends them.
