Estate Planning

We believe faithful stewardship extends beyond how we give today. It also includes thoughtful planning for the future and considering how our resources can continue to advance God’s work for generations to come.

Through this growing collection of resources, CABC USA offers practical, faith-based guidance to help individuals and families think intentionally about charitable giving, estate planning, and leaving a lasting legacy.

We are pleased to introduce Roy L. Russell, CKA, who joined the CABC USA Advancement Team in 2025. With more than 47 years of experience in financial planning and stewardship ministry, Roy has taught stewardship seminars in churches across the United States and internationally. He has also helped believers explore charitable strategies, including Donor Advised Funds and estate planning, as they consider how to steward their resources for Kingdom purposes.

Roy is the founder of Life Institute, a ministry dedicated to helping Christians integrate faithful stewardship into every stage of life.

As Senior Strategist for Major Gifts and Donor Wealth Advisory, Roy serves as a resource for those seeking to thoughtfully incorporate charitable giving, estate planning, and legacy strategies into their broader financial plans.

A gift through your estate is one of the most meaningful ways to invest in the next generation of gospel-centered leaders in Africa. Through thoughtful estate planning, your generosity can help equip pastors, educators, and Christian professionals for decades to come.

Estate planning is a deeply personal decision. We would be honored to speak with you and your advisor about how thoughtful planning can reflect your values, extend your generosity, and further the mission of Central Africa Baptist University.
