A Lutheran
Woman on a Mission |
Provides for Her Favorite Charity-LWML!
From the clothes she wears to the purple umbrella she
carries to her license plate holder that marks her as a
Lutheran Woman on a Mission, Marguerite Christman of
Oklahoma City personifies LWML.
"I remember as a little girl doing my homework while my
mother attended LWML meetings at our small rural
church," Marguerite recalls. "LWML has always been a
major part of my life."
Her service demonstrates that. It wasn't long after she
attended her first LWML meeting as an adult that she
became president of her local congregation's LWML group.
Eventually, she became a Zone president, Oklahoma
District president, national Convention chair, and
national Vice President with a host of assignments in
between.
So once LWML launched its Gifts of Love planned giving
initiative, Marguerite was one of the first to not only
promote it, but also support it financially.
Her first gift was a cash contribution, but even before
she met Pat Bilow, LWML's gift planning counselor, she
had decided to take out a charitable life insurance
policy naming LWML as the beneficiary. Marguerite wanted
to make sure that LWML receives a major gift in
thanksgiving for its ministry to her throughout life.
A number of life insurance options are available for
charitable gifting-from old policies that are no longer
needed for their original purposes to policies that can
be owned by LWML with LWML named as the beneficiary.
When LWML is named as the owner and beneficiary, the
premium payments made by the donor are tax-deductible.

representative or Pat Bilow at
