Linda and Steve Pauls

Linda and Steve Pauls share the values of their church and know financial support is important to sustain and grow the ministry. Linda says, “In order for our church to remain a voice in the community of who Jesus is and what we believe, we need to support it financially.” The Pauls believe in the importance of giving regularly to their church and have gifted appreciated stocks for special needs such as a capital campaign or other large expenses. In gifting appreciated stock to MB Foundation, they receive a charitable deduction, avoid capital gains on the growth of the stock and make a gift to their church. The Pauls are able to help meet the needs of their church while stewarding their finances well. “We find it easy to work through the process with MB Foundation and appreciate our common value of strengthening the local church.” Linda and Steve worship at Willow Avenue Mennonite Church in Fresno, CA.
