1984 Miracle Yearbook

[3@drIcgm©fig Faithful Service K flown to some as husband and wife or Pastor and family, to oth- ers asDean of Studentsand Director of Records and Registration, and yet to others as professor, deacon, col- leagues, neighbors, and friends — for twenty-four years Richard and Barbara McIntosh have served their Lord with a distinctive dedication to Cedarville College, its students, and the commu- nity in which it sits. Educated by Bryan College, reinforced by the Master of Theology degree from Grace The- ological Seminary, the Mclntoshes came to Cedarville in 1960, following eight years of pastorate. Not interested only in teaching spe- cialities in theology, missions, and Bible study methods, Mr. and Mrs. McIntosh have integrated these interests into their daily lives. Both have ministered long and faithfully through Grace Bap- tist Church of Cedarville in spite of ex- tensive activity in pulpit supply. Much in demand as a popular, thorough, and caring academic advisor, Mr. McIn- tosh,as well as Barbara,has counseled "Together, They Have Extended Warmly Christian Hospitality" and "pastored" hundreds of students seeking God's direction for their lives. Together,they have extended warmly Christian hospitality expecially to mi- nority students and those from other continents, far from homes and fam- ilies. Mr. McIntosh's commitment to qual- ity of performance in Christian living has led him to lengthy service on the college committee guiding the Mis- sionary Internship Service. Setting an example himself, Mr. McIntosh taught for a term in Africa and,with Mrs. McIn- tosh, toured and ministered under MIS in Australia. Barbara McIntosh has for the past thirteen years aided and guided de- velopment of the comprehensive sys- tem of academic record-keeping and services so vital to a quality educa- tional institution. Her tenure as Records Clerkand, since 1980, as Director of Academic Records, has coincided with the simultaneous rapid growth of student enrollment and the strenuous task of developing and installing com- puters and their programs to meet complex academic needs. And when the computers failed, Barbara didn't! Both Mr. and Mrs. McIntosh, display- ing sacrificial committment of time and energy, have exhibited that careful stewardship of detail in their profes- sions and ministries so necessary to achieving excellence. Trustee of the Kyle Medical Center, and hostess, ex- tension professor to minority pastors and curator of student growth,grand- parents,and now returning to the pas- torate, the Mclntoshes leave a tradi- tion of dedication to be fulfilled. by Ronald M.
