Prioritising the gospel in our wills

I have a friend who pastored in the North West coast of the United States for many years called Randall. He recently told me the story of an older man in his congregation who left a sum of money in his will to the church.

It was a sum that would equate to a low six figure amount in today’s economy. My friend was naturally ecstatic and deeply grateful for the man’s gospel heart.

However, one day he was visiting the local hospital and noticed the names of major patrons written on the lobby wall. To his surprise, one of the names on the list was that of this older man. As it transpired, he’d left a very sizeable seven figure sum to the local hospital.
