Planned Giving
Planned giving is an opportunity to designate a significant gift during your lifetime or at the time of death to an organization of your choosing.
Why to Give:
Since 1999, Crossroads Farm has had the privilege of sharing the Gospel with over 10,000 students. If you are reviewing this page and prayerfully considering an investment, it is no accident. God may be prompting you to share in this life changing work. You give. Crossroads Farm does, for His glory, for His purpose. Our mission is clear. Our financial accountability is proven and exemplary. We welcome you to explore, ask questions, listen and act. It would be our joy to share story after story after story of student(s) lives altered. Perhaps you could meet some in person. Perhaps your giving will exceed your lifetime and a baby born today will have the ministry of Crossroads Farm in their rural location, and have the opportunity to hear the Gospel and say yes or no to that message...because of you.
