Inspiring future generations with the Gospel through your will
Also known as a legacy or a bequest, a gift in will is a special kind of donation to someone or to a cause that is important to you. By leaving a bequest to Vision Christian Media in your will invests into sharing the Gospel with future generations, make a lasting difference in ways that may not have been possible during your lifetime.
With our shared commitment to the Gospel, we understand our time here is precious, but limited. By leaving a legacy gift to Vision, you continue to carry the message of the Gospel forward, encouraging Australians every day to turn their hearts towards God. No gift is too small; each contribution ensures that the ministry you love will grow and reach more people with His truth and love, well into the future.
As we look to the future, Vision Christian Media remains deeply committed to the founding vision – to see God’s word reach every corner of Australia, so that lives and society can be redeemed and transformed through following Jesus Christ. You can be assured that our commitment to this purpose will never waiver.
Thank you for considering leaving a legacy through Vision Christian Media. Your gift will continue to challenge, equip, and affirm Australians, advancing God’s Kingdom for many years to come.
Giving to Vision in your will
While our faith assures us of the eternal, there are practical matters that help take care of our loved ones here on earth.
Currently, over 10 million Australians do not have a will—almost half of our population. Discussing this topic can be challenging, but having a will can prevent much conflict and confusion when our time comes. Creating a will gives you the power to decide how your assets will be distributed.
After caring for your loved ones, would you prayerfully consider including Vision in your Will as a legacy for future generations?
You can choose to leave either a specific amount or a percentage of your estate. A gift in your will to Vision is a powerful way to extend your Christian legacy, ensuring that the work of sharing the Gospel continues.
To make it easy, you can create your will online through our partnership with Safewill, or provide details below to your solicitor.

Using Your Own Solicitor
