Last week was a very dark one in the world. With massive bombings in Iraq, plus two racially charged shootings and an attack on police officers in the U.S., it almost feels like we can’t escape the darkness.
How should a Jesus-follower respond to all of this?

Wed. July 13th – Project Video
In lieu of our normal Project Story article, we are excited to present to you a brand new Project Story video!

IDES Can Accept Gifts of Stocks, Bonds, and Mutual Fund Shares.
Donating an appreciated asset to IDES can increase the impact of your gift while providing you with a favorable tax deduction.
Do you itemize your charitable gifts when filing your taxes?
Have you held the asset for a year or longer?
Is it worth more now than when you purchased it?
If so, it may make sense to transfer that asset directly to IDES, rather than selling the asset and making a cash donation.
To learn more about how to donate appreciated assets call IDES at (317) 773-4111.
