The Prestonwood Foundation, a 501(c)3 ministry of Prestonwood Baptist Church, is offering an opportunity for individuals and families to establish a generational Family Legacy of Kingdom Significance by investing in the ministries of this great church community. Donors are able to select which ministries will be blessed by their established fund. Gifts of all sizes will impact the kingdom. Donors are encouraged to grow their fund by making weekly, monthly, quarterly or annual contributions.
They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.
If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches?
As stated earlier, God created man to have an investment mentality as seen in the parable of the talents (Matthew 25). There are two types of investments:
It is important to note that there is nothing inherently wrong for a follower of Christ to make investments to prepare for his family’s future, but every investor must always be concerned with his return on investment (ROI).
In our present economy, worldly investments bring a sense of uncertainty as the markets fluctuate up and down every day; whereas eternal kingdom investments always yield a fruitful return in terms of the Lord’s work being done and His kingdom being glorified. A Family Legacy Fund provides an individual/family with a platform to make significant eternal kingdom investments.
“Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine.”

* Assumes a 7% Avg Annual Return with a 5% Annual Distribution. Investment returns are not guaranteed. Although the investment allocation is diversified and managed with relative conservatism and a combination of both fixed (bond) and equity (stock) positions, investments are not immune to varied effects of market volatility and economic conditions.
