Eternal Treasures - Richard Garnett

We were due to film with the remarkable Richard Garnett this week. Very sadly, Richard passed away a few days ago.

As a team, we've been incredibly blessed by the research and preparation we were able to do for this shoot. Richard had a rare and profound insight into how God desires for us to view our finances, after practicing decades of sacrificial giving. This video was filmed last year and not only captures the testimony of a man joyfully surrendered to God, but also illuminates the importance of thoughtfully stewarding what we've been entrusted with.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family and all who knew him. We are praying that the God of all comfort will be near, and that the ache of his absence will remind you of the love shared—a love that, before long, will be joyfully reunited.

With thanks to The Maclellan Foundation for giving access to this recording.
