On September 5, 2020, we lost our beloved father to colon cancer. He spent seven weeks in hospice, and we had many opportunities to share memories, dreams, and passions. Early in that time, he shared that he was genuinely concerned about the shortage of ministerial candidates in our Restoration churches and colleges. He challenged us to also be concerned about that shortage. His desire was to have any memorial funds designated for the purpose of providing scholarship monies for students willing to commit to full time ministry.

Thank you for the work you do in our local churches, God’s plan for changing the world. Our dad encouraged more than 50 men and women to enter the ministry. It truly was a legacy that was even greater than we knew. We pray that these funds will continue his gift of encouragement for many years to come.

Love from Norm’s girls,

Norma, Cheri, Paula and Laurie

How you can help…

• Donate. We hope to endow enough funds in this account to provide at least one scholarship of $1,000/year without depleting the principal, so that additional scholarships may be given.

• Students. If you know of any students who might be interested in applying for the “Norman Maynard Scholarship Fund,” please use the application and leader evaluation below.

• Pray about this shortage and encourage potential leadership candidates to use their gifts for the LORD in our churches or mission fields.

Donations

If your church or any of its members share in this concern and are willing to contribute funds toward that goal, please make checks payable to Polaris Christian Church (who administers these funds), 3289 Laurel Rd., Brunswick, OH 44212 and make a notation that it is for the Norman Maynard Scholarship fund.
