If you appreciate issues, etc, our 24-7 music and talk stations and our daily verse by verse Bible study,

the Word of the Lord endures forever, please include a bequest in your will or trust for these worldwide media resources.

A bequest allows you to receive an estate tax charitable deduction and reduces the tax burden on your family.

Ensure your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren the opportunity to listen by including a

bequest in your will or trust for issues, etc., Lutheran Public Radio, and the Word

of the Lord endures forever. Of course the central objection that a confessional Lutheran has to Roman Catholic
