How You Can Help Us
We truly appreciate your interest in the work of World Video Bible School (WVBS). There are many ways you can help us. First and foremost is with your prayers. As God says in James 5:16b “The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” Please include us in your prayers that the Lord will continue to bless this work as we do His good will.
Second, you can help us by viewing our materials. One of our primary purposes for existing is to provide materials that will help edify the body of believers. You can help us to do that by using our study materials to help you become grounded more firmly in God’s rich word. After all, the problems we are seeing in the church would not exist if all the members were well versed in the Bible. We have every book of the Bible and around 120 other Bible related topics in our Catalog. So help yourself by allowing us to be the place you go when you are looking for sound Bible teaching materials.
Third, you can help us by referring others to WVBS for their Bible study needs. By telling your friends about us you are in fact helping to spread the Gospel. So please do not keep this treasure a secret!
Fourth, you can contribute to our work. WVBS is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation located in Maxwell, Texas. What this means is that you can send a contribution to help us continue this work and the whole amount is eligible to be deducted on your taxes. However there are many ways to give (please consult your tax consultant for more details).
-Add a contribution to your order. When you order material from us either online, by phone, or mailed order form, you can add a contribution by writing your check or other payment for more than the amount owed and the extra will be recorded as a donation. This product page is an easy way to add a contribution in whole-dollar amounts to your order.
-Monthly contributions. By giving to this work on a monthly basis you give us stability, which allows us to be able to meet the demands that are placed upon us. For example, about 28% of all the videotapes we produce are given to churches in countries outside the US for free. People in other parts of the world are literally starving for God’s word. So your regular monthly gifts will go a long way in allowing us to continue this effort.
-Semi-annual contributions. We have many contributors who give to us through this means. Some give quarterly, others at different times during the year.
-Annual contributions. There are some who give to this work at the end of the year. If you give at the end of the year, you can claim your deduction on your taxes just a few months later.
-Stocks and Bonds. If you knew you could reap double the tax benefit through charitable contributions would you believe it? It is true! You can do this by donating some of your investments rather than cash. Suppose you purchased stock for $3,000 several years ago and it is now worth $10,000. If you are in the 28% federal tax bracket, sold your stock and qualified for the 20% capital gains rate, you would owe $1,400 in taxes. If you donated that same stock to a nonprofit organization like WVBS, you would get the tax deduction for the full $10,000 market value. That would save $2,800 in taxes. If you added the $1,400 you avoided in capital gains tax, your total tax savings would be $4,200.
-By remembering us in your wills. We know this is a sensitive subject, but it is still one that we must consider. By including WVBS in your will, you will still be doing a good work after you have gone home.
