Drawing on human-centered design principles\, biblical insight\, and real-world examples from the missions field\, this session will explore practical ways leaders can cultivate ministries that are flexible\, creative\, and responsive to today’s shifting landscape.

He and his wife\, Victoria\, live in London with their three children. \n  \nPositioning Your Ministry for Legacy Giving\nPresented by Bryan Taylor\, CEO & CIO of Cornerstone Principal \nLegacy giving can create meaningful spiritual and financial impact for your organization and your ministry partners. It allows donors to invest in Kingdom work that continues long after their lifetime through simple steps such as leaving a gift in a will\, naming the ministry as a beneficiary on a retirement account or life insurance policy\, or giving appreciated securities. We will review how nonprofits can prepare to receive legacy gifts and explore different approaches to having conversations with donors about the ways legacy giving can help them reach their stewardship goals. \nMr. Bryan Taylor is a Cornerstone Principal and currently serves as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer of the firm.
