Count your blessings,

name them one by one…

see what God has done!

Familiar words from well-loved hymn remind us of one of life's important tasks -- taking an account and deciding who and what will share in our material blessings after we're gone. This is part of every Christian's stewardship responsibility.

The American Baptist Foundation can assist individuals who wish to make Christian faith, hope, and love a part of their lasting legacy. As a center through which planned gifts may be made for any American Baptist church or organization, the Foundation's purpose is to support and strengthen Christian witness by encouraging individuals to include American Baptist ministries and mission in their charitable estate plans.
