LeGACY GUIDE
Your gift could make a difference in hundreds of lives.
Go and Save Ministries entirely understand and agree that family comes first, and this should not be any different when it comes to making a Will; after all, making a Will is a way of ensuring that what God has given you to look after is utilised as you wish after you have gone.
Please consider prayerfully leaving a legacy to Go & Save Ministries after you have looked after your loved ones. Due to such generosity, we can “spread the Gospel” to many people, help those in most need, and pray for those who request prayer.

WHAT PERCENTAGE OF MY DONATION WILL GO DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE IT NEEDS TO GO TO?
We are a registered charity with the Charity Commission. We do not pay any of the trustees any wages or rent on office space.
We are blessed with a good team of believers who do what needs to be done for the love of Christ free of charge or pay their way rather than burden the charity. It is safe to say more than 90% of the donations go directly to the people or the project.
This means more than 90% of all money donated goes directly to mission projects.
A guide to types of legacy
There are two main types of legacy you can consider:
A residuary legacy is a gift from the residue of the estate, often expressed as a percentage share after all other gifts and payments have been made.
A pecuniary legacy is a gift of a specific amount of money.
For a RESIDUARY Legacy, we suggest the following wording:
“I give __________% of the residue of my estate to Go and Save Ministries, Registered Charity number 1195671 of 22 Langley Drive, Crawley, West Sussex RH11 7SY, for its charitable purposes. I further direct that the receipt of the treasurer or other proper officer of Go and Save Ministries, for the time being, shall be a full and final sufficient discharge for the said legacy”.
For a PECUNIARY Legacy, we suggest the following wording:
“I give to Go and Save Ministries, Registered Charity number 1195671, of 22 Langley Drive, Crawley, West Sussex RH11 7SY, the sum of £__________ for its charitable purposes. I further direct that the receipt of the treasurer or other proper officer of Go and Save Ministries, for the time being, shall be a full and final sufficient discharge for the said legacy”.
