Dear Friends, My wife Linda and I would like to invite you to join us in considering a gift to Teleios in your will. Before Teleios founder Connie Jacobsen passed away in 2011, he urged Art Kopicky, Shawn Petree, and the Board to continue the Teleios ministry after his death. The Teleios Board responded by setting up the Conrad Jacobsen Memorial Endowment Fund to provide a vehicle to enhance the long-term financial health of Teleios. Its role is to manage major gifts, including bequests from estates of deceased friends of Teleios, in a manner that Teleios benefits from these gifts over a period of years. The Conrad Jacobsen Memorial Endowment Fund is a particularly attractive opportunity for those of us who have grown spiritually from Teleios and wish to make these same benefits available to the next generation. A number of us have made provisions in our estate plans for including the Conrad Jacobsen Memorial Endowment Fund as a beneficiary upon our deaths. Such a bequest is a charitable donation and therefore deductible from an estate and death tax standpoint. Remembering the words of Paul in 2 Corinthians 9:7-8, "You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don't give reluctantly or in response to pressure. For God loves a cheerful giver." We urge you to join us as cheerful givers in honoring Connie's desire that Teleios will continue to help men strive for maturity in Christ. Please prayerfully consider the Conrad Jacobsen Memorial Endowment Fund in your estate plans as a grateful heritage to future men of Christ. Sincerely, Charles "Chick" Hodge Friend of Connie and Teleios since 1974 If you would like to learn more, please reply to this email or contact teleios.org@gmail.com
