This Harvest, Christian Aid is inviting you to put your faith into action – by considering leaving a gift in your Will to your church and Christian Aid.

Gifts in Wills are a powerful way for our faith to live on and can create lasting change in our communities, both locally and across the world for farmers like Knowledge Chikondo who features in our Harvest Appeal focus story. 

We have got everything you need to inspire your congregation, both about the life-transforming work of Christian Aid as well as about gifts in Wills. 

  • Get Faith Will worship resources to give you everything you need for a Sunday service
  • A leaflet that people can take away with them after the service to remind them of the power of gifts in Wills can be ordered from our office
  • Contact us to book a speaker to share Knowledge’s story and the Faith Will message at your church

From struggle to success

Knowledge's story

By supporting Christian Aid in this special way, your congregation can stand with people like Knowledge Chikondo from Zimbabwe. 

Knowledge struggled to make a living as a farmer until he was helped by a Christian Aid project called BRACT, which is run by a group of four local partner organisation including Bio-Innovation Zimbabwe (BIZ) and Silveira House. 

Your faith can live on through your Will, supporting communities to tackle poverty

Roger held a special event to promote gifts in Wills to his congregation and has pledged his own gift too.

It’s just like leaving a gift to family or friends,” he says, “it can give future generations what they need, where they need it, to help them live on.

‘Gifts to Christian Aid and churches complement each other. They both help support families.

I hope my legacy will make a difference. If we can encourage more people to give through their Wills, drops might turn into a river.

Just like faith, gifts in Wills have the power to transform lives. Will you join Roger and tell your congregation about them?
