From "Criswell's Guidebook for Pastors" 1980, pgs. 160-161.
"We face a tremendous enlargement of our church facilities. The cost of these expanded programs and enlarged buildings will come to millions of dollars. Will our local budget provide the necessary funds for such an operation? No. The budget cannot carry an answer to that capital needs program.
Our only hope, ultimately and finally, of achieving this expanded ministry lies in the estate planning of our members. It is our prayer, that our people by the thousands will remember our church in their wills, in their insurance policies, and in other ways whereby they can make possible a gift to help us in this great assignment."
