Estate Planning

OMF Stewardship Ministries is a resource in estate design services without fee or other obligation. We minister to our supporters and friends who desire to establish estate plans, or to review and possibly revise existing ones, and who seek trusted guidance - from a distinctively Christian perspective.

Did estate planning apply to the farmer in Luke 12 who filled his barns to overflowing? Working hard all his life, he no longer needed to depend on rain or worry about the market price of grain. He had plenty and decided he could finally rest and enjoy the fruits of his labor. But things did not work as expected, and he died that very night. His inheritance was wasted. Although a model of success in the eyes of many, God said the man was a fool Why? Because he had not grasped the true meaning of life. One’s heart is found with the things he or she treasures (Matthew 6:21). Life’s true meaning is found in being rich in the things of God. The man had done such a poor job of planning his estate.
