Forged by Fire and Legacy Deo

The Forged by Fire team is excited to announce a new annual supporter to our ministry, Legacy Deo! We received this exciting news this afternoon and feel truly blessed by this partnership as we strive to serve those in need.

For those who have not heard of Legacy Deo, there mission is to inspire giving that impacts life forever. They help people with charitable giving and estate planning, and serve as trustee for hundreds of trusts, endowments, and donor advised funds.

Legacy Deo was chartered in 1960 as Lutheran Foundation of Texas. Originally a ministry of the Texas District of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, the Foundation was created as a means to receive non-cash gifts. One of the earliest was a tract of West Texas ranchland from a donor who sought to financially support the District’s endeavors.

Years later, they became a separate entity after their outreach expanded and their services grew. Their focus shifted to charitable giving that benefits all types of Christian and humanitarian causes. They offer their services to the entire Christian community, believing that all of God’s people benefit from them regardless of denominational preference. In 2023 they absorbed the assets and accounts of Southern District (LCMS) Lutheran Foundation and began providing services in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and the Florida panhandle. Because of their long history with the Texas District, they continue to provide a perpetual base of funding for its many ministries as well as to other Lutheran-affiliated organizations.

So as you can see, the partnership with us at Forged by Fire, a non-profit organization based in Louisiana [The Southern District of the LCMS] seemed like a natural fit for both of us. We are truly honored to have been chosen for this partnership and we look forward to continuing this relationship for years to come!
