We own a property valued at nearly two million dollars, additionally, we own investment

We have three children, one does not follow the Lord, one is a believer who married a spouse

who is not very serious about the things of God.

And one is disabled with mental illness.

Our first two children are materially fine.

Currently I'm inclined to leave the book of our assets to Christian ministries and invest

in the kingdom of God with a modest trust fund set up for our third child.
