Misti Ayers Scholarship

Reverend Jimmy McNeil and his wife, Susan, started The Misti Lynn Ayers Scholarship Fund in 1996. The goal of the fund is to provide assistance with monthly tuition for students who would otherwise be unable to attend Open Door Christian School.

 

Misti Lynn was born in Arlington, Texas on November 2, 1971 and is the daughter of Sid & Vicki Palmour of Graham, TX. Although Misti lived in Texas, Oklahoma, and Germany, she attained her primary education in Graham. Misti was an active member of Oak Street Baptist Church while she lived in Graham. She graduated seventh in her class from Graham High School in 1990 and attended Texas Tech University graduating cum laude with an engineering degree in 1994. Misti was pursuing her Master’s Degree and working for the Motorola Cooperation in Austin when she died in an automobile accident on August 4, 1995. Now she is with God in Heaven.

 

Misti sought always to live for Christ and whatever she did, she worked at it with all her heart, as working for the Lord, not for men (Col. 3:23). Although Misti was only 23 years old when she died, her memory remains alive with this scholarship fund.
