Gifts Given in Memory or in Honor
Janiece Skelton
A memorial gift was given on December 30, 2024 for Janiece Skelton. She is remembered as a sweet servant to her family and others, even in her final days when she could be found making sure everyone in the cafeteria at the Sheridan Medical Lodge had their tea before meals were served. She was the kind of person who didn’t care how many friends and family showed up; there would be enough food and sweet tea to go around. For her, the fuller the house, the better. May we all be like her and welcome others into our homes for food, fellowship and sharing God’s love.
Ron Banks
A family gift has been given in honor and memory of Ron Banks. In high school, God used the story of missionary aviation pilot, Nate Saint, to stir Ron’s interest in missionary aviation. He attended LeTourneau University and Moody Aviation where he earned his commercial, flight instructor and instrument licenses. In 1984 he served as pilot, mechanic and program manager with Missionary Aviation Fellowship (MAF) in Venezuela. Ron would later build flight simulators in other countries to teach others to fly small aircraft. Ron passed in 2017.

Dr. John T. Adams
In honor of a father who loved his children deeply and taught them to love nature and adventure through camping, rock climbing, hiking, and travel-from the top of Mt Kilimanjaro and Mt. Kenya to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. He is a legacy. We-his children-wish to continue that legacy by giving to this ministry that shares his love of God and nature.
