Preparation is an Act of Love!
A faith-centered seminar that helps families organize what matters, protect the people they love, and pass on the values that matter most.
Prepare wisely. Leave a legacy of faith.
When Grace Semple-Paul’s mother entered a coma, her family discovered they did not know her final wishes. That experience became a mission: families should not have to face life’s most difficult moments without preparation, communication and clarity.
Christians are often taught about giving. This seminar offers equally practical teaching about wisely managing what remains, so that your plan becomes a final gift of care to the people you love.

Protection
Make sure the people you love are cared for and your wishes are honored if you cannot speak for yourself.
Peace
Spare your family confusion and conflict, and rest in the knowledge that you have prepared well.
