As a veterinary surgeon, I’ve enjoyed a successful and fulfilling career. My wife and I are actively involved in our local church, where I occasionally preach. But as I ponder retirement and my share in the business is being released to me, a question weighs on my conscience: What should I do with the money?

I’ve felt a real burden about stewarding this wealth wisely. Luke 18:25 has kept coming to mind – the image of a camel struggling through the eye of a needle. If I’m going to retain money for myself as a retirement fund, could it be put to work to serve God’s Kingdom on earth?

Overwhelmed by Options

The sheer number of ethical investment choices is overwhelming. I am still working a busy job, with little time or enthusiasm to research every option. Who could I trust to steward the money wisely and responsibly, giving me peace of mind?

A Kingdom-minded alternative

My wife came across an advertisement for Kingdom Bank. On browsing the website, she showed me promotional images featuring our great friends Dave and Andrea Taylor, missionaries who already used the Bank’s mortgage services. We took it as a personal endorsement! It turned out we’d found exactly what we’d been looking for. Kingdom Bank’s mission to use savings to support gospel work resonated deeply with us. We were also pleasantly surprised to find that, whilst higher interest rates might be found, we would get a good return on our savings. At that point, the decision was easy. Why wouldn’t we sacrifice a small amount of interest to help churches and ministries thrive? It seemed like a no-brainer, really!

Lifting the weight off my shoulders

Now that we’re saving with the Kingdom Bank, there’s a sense of relief and peace. Our savings are FSCS-protected and held by a fully regulated bank, so we know they’re safe. But more than that, we know our savings are being used to fund gospel work across the UK – something we couldn’t do on our own.
