The 2019 Legacy Banquet Program

Betty and Warren were a team, serving the Lord together. They maximized each other’s strengths and compensated for each other’s weaknesses. In fall 2018, the Wiersbes gifted Warren’s vast personal library to Cedarville University. This impressive collection of commentaries, nonfiction publications, and works of literature is now housed in the Warren and Betty Wiersbe Library and Reading Room in Cedarville’s Center for Biblical and Theological Studies. We are blessed to steward this remarkable collection, which is far more than just books on a shelf. Because of Dr. Wiersbe’s notes and observations, these resources are the accumulated wisdom and insight of one of the great servants of the church. What a blessing and resource this will be to our faculty and our students — in a very real way continuing Dr. Warren and Betty Wiersbe’s legacy of faithfulness to the Gospel. Dr. Wiersbe went home to be with his Lord and Savior on May 2 of this year. His dear wife of nearly 66 years joined him just six weeks later on June 15. ALUMNUS OF THE YEAR DON LOUGH, JR . ' 8 7 Don Lough, Jr. ’87 has been selected as Alumnus of the Year. Don graduated from Cedarville College in 1987, earning a B.A. in Bible comprehensive. While a student, he was a worship leader for the campus fellowship, a member of the Young Republicans, and served with the Dayton Gospel Rescue Mission Team. The most impactful memory of his time at Cedarville was hearing Dr. Paul Dixon speak in chapel and experiencing Dixon’s shepherding care for the student body. “The President, professors, and coaches modeled Christlikeness inside and outside the classroom,”he said. “Personal encouragement from professors served as a catalyst to keep moving forward in serving the Lord.” "I know that I would not be the same person I am today without the impact that Cedarville University has made on me, and this would not be possible if it were not for the generous donors that support the University." —Julie Croft '21 "God has blessed me so much by giving me the privilege to attend Cedarville, and I will look back on my years as a student here with thankfulness. I cannot say thank you enough to the faithful donors who have contributed to the University and have helped me afford this life-changing experience." —Ryan Ball '20 YOU ARE PART OF TRANSFORMING LIVES AND MAKING A CEDARVILLE EDUCATION POSSIBLE FOR OUR STUDENTS.
