Making a will — it comes in the category of things that, often, we don’t want to think about it. While we may reason that it is wise to be prepared, we make excuses to exempt ourselves.
This week is Make a Will Week, organised by Premier Christian Radio. On Premier’s website, you can find videos from experts addressing some of the questions that often crop up about wills and what happens to what we leave behind.
There are many good reasons for making a will, even if it is an uncomfortable subject. By making a will, we can show good, God-honouring stewardship and thankfulness for what he has given to us, by providing for those who we leave behind. It can protect our families and loved ones from unnecessary distress at a time when they may already feel overwhelmed. And we have an opportunity to continue to provide for causes and charities which have had a hold on our hearts throughout our lives.
If the process seems daunting, why not take a look at the Legacy pages on our website, which goes through the five basic steps of sorting out a will? You’ll also find stories there about how leaving a gift to Wycliffe in your will can help generations to come access the Bible in a language that speaks to their hearts.

Many in the community don’t understand the concept of the written script. When they see Amharic written, they despair that they have never had the chance to write their own language, which has been spoken for thousands of years. ‘Why? What’s wrong with our language?’
