GoodSeed Canada has recently partnered with ADVISORS with Purpose. They are a ministry of the Canadian National Christian Foundation who are serving charities by helping their donors understand and integrate biblical stewardship into their Wills and estates.

As part of our partnership, ADVISORS with Purpose is offering Canadian supporters of GoodSeed a confidential and complimentary estate plan. Personalized for each supporter, this plan is confidential, biblically based and will help supporters align their Will with their faith, values and desires. We want to assure you that this is entirely free to our supporters and that the folks at ADVISORS with Purpose do not sell anything and none of your personal financial information is ever shared with us or anyone else.

As a faith-based, not-for-profit ministry, GoodSeed relies on a network of financial supporters. Our supporters are partners in ministry because without each of you, our missionaries could not continue their work and the projects would stall. We thank the Lord for each one of you.

We are happy to let you know that we have a newly-launched giving system. It is just as simple to make a one-time gift as it is to set up a recurring monthly donation from your credit card or bank account. Clear menu options make it easy to select a missionary or project, and you can set up a profile account to log into and track your giving or print records as needed.
