David and Grace Shenk
Legacy Endowment

Continuing a legacy of Christian-Muslim relations

Since 1963, David and Grace Shenk have worked together to bear witness to the gospel of Jesus Christ through word and deed. A signature focus of their ministry has been the work of Christian-Muslim relations. You’re invited to join David and Grace in continuing this legacy by becoming a founding partner in this endowment.

Funds generated by the David and Grace Shenk legacy endowment will help us connect with our global partners, mentor a new generation of young leaders, and to create resources for equipping the church and Christ followers for a healthy relationship with Muslims.
Learn more about this endowment by contacting Jonathan Bornman.

Other
There are many other ways to give from trusts, IRAs, or donor-advised funds. These often have tax benefits for the donor. Generally, giving from these types of funds requires the donor to contact the administrator (the bank or entity holding the funds/investments) of those funds/accounts and set up a payment/transfer/distribution to Eastern Mennonite Missions.  Name and address usually is what is needed. Be sure to indicate the David and Grace Shenk Legacy Endowment on the transfer/distribution check. If additional information is needed, contact Karen Hess.
