Legacy Program

Mrs. Miller* was a career missionary in East Africa. She used the “JESUS” film and saw its effectiveness on the mission field. After she retired, she provided a gift of $25,000 through her will to reach people like the ones she had ministered to for so long. She was thrilled to know that she could provide a legacy gift to reach even more people for Christ.

You are invited to consider leaving a similar legacy gift through our Lasting Legacy Partner program. By participating in the Legacy program, you can leave a lasting tribute to the work of reaching unreached people—even in the toughest places—with the gospel through the JESUS film. You can even give your gift in honor of someone else.

Through this website and other reputable sources, you have probably heard about the importance of having an up-to-date will and the simple steps of leaving a legacy gift in your estate. For friends like you who have so clearly demonstrated your commitment to take the gospel to people who have never heard, a gift through your will fulfills your heart values and reaches the next generation for Christ.

With a gift through your will, you can provide a lasting means to continue proclaiming the gospel and planting churches around the world. And as you do, you will be joining with hundreds of other partners who have already set a wonderful example by becoming Jesus Film Project Lasting Legacy Partners.

As a small token of our appreciation, you will receive a personalized Lasting Legacy Partner membership certificate suitable for framing. In addition, your name will be listed in the “Book of Remembrance,” on display at Jesus Film® headquarters in Orlando, Florida. (For your privacy you have the option of being listed in the book as “anonymous” by state).

Field research reconfirms that each dollar given to Jesus Film Project reaches between 10 to 15 people and on the average, one receives Christ. Over the years 2015-2019, for “every second of every hour of every day,” one person received Christ. What an impact for the kingdom your gift through your will could have!

Will you please prayerfully consider becoming a Lasting Legacy Partner?

How to Get Started

Of course, your estate gift may be of any amount. In fact, when you express a commitment, you need not have determined the exact amount you plan to leave, only that you will definitely remember the unreached peoples of the world through the work of Jesus Film Project® (a Cru® Ministry).

Understandably, planning or updating a will and your final giving instructions is a major decision. You may have some important questions about a Lasting Legacy gift. And you will no doubt want to balance your legacy giving plans with your own unique situation and family’s needs.
