Linda Todd

Linda Todd
“I could go to heaven before I’ve done anything with this money. It was a gift to me, so I don’t want to squander it. It should go to God because He provided it.”

Growing up in a Christian home, Linda Todd always had a heart for people. She worked as a licensed practical nurse caring for the sick and elderly. In 2007, Linda moved back home to care for her aging parents until they passed. “I learned a lot just by being a servant to others. I had to depend on God,” Linda shared.

When Linda received her portion from her parents’ estate, she wanted it to go to the Lord’s work. She thought, “I could go to heaven before I’ve done anything with this money. It was a gift to me, so I don’t want to squander it. It should go to God because He provided it.”

She learned about a charitable gift annuity through Cru Foundation and thought about whether a combination of a gift with an income benefit was right for her. She prayed and talked it through with a Cru Foundation Gift & Estate Design Specialist. “God helped me to see that this is something that could help me and that the more I have, the more I can give. So I am grateful for it,” Linda says.

Linda’s generosity will make an eternal kingdom impact through the Jesus Film Project. And the annuity assures Linda of an income for life, too. Like Linda, you can establish a Charitable Gift Annuity that supports the work of Cru missionaries and ministries closest to your heart.
