This means there is reflection on the faith teachings that each Christian denomination has that call upon people to act on their values to make this a world that God would want.

This training respects the life and dignity of each person and trains people to fight for those who have no voice. Local attorney, Jim Hochberg, will go over the legal dos and don'ts and show how America was founded on Christian principles.

Come to this FREE workshop and learn how you CAN make a difference in Hawai'i.

A properly organized estate plan makes a fine gift to your family and a suitable testimonial to your concern and caring for their well being.

Workshop Objectives

How do God’s principles differ from secular principles when planning your estate?

Learn what a Giving Fund is and how to integrate it into your estate planning.

Learn how to move taxable dollars into ministry dollars.

Learn how the National Christian Foundation/Hawaii can assist and serve you in your estate planning

Workshop is free and open to any Christian that desires to understand God’s principles for giving.
