A tearful reunion ... some day...

January 12, 2009

The Staff and Board of Cornerstone Assistance Network wish to inform you that after nearly two months of struggle with pneumonia
and other pulmonary problems, Scott Manley entered the presence of our Lord on January 9, 2009.
While we celebrate with Scott his transformation to glory, we are deeply saddened by our loss.
However, the work of Cornerstone will continue. Preparations for ShareFest OKC 2009 are well underway
and the newest Cornerstone ministry, Stand in the Gap, already has several churches beginning training in the next few weeks.

We thank you for your support and love for Scott and this ministry. Please know that the Cornerstone board members and staff
understand its mission and vision and share Scott’s heart for the poor and the needs of this city. We ask for your continued
support and your prayers as we honor Scott by moving forward with God’s work.

A Memorial Service will be held at 5:00pm Saturday, January 17th, at Our Lord's Community Church, 11400 N. Portland, OKC.
We would love for you to come celebrate Scott's life and legacy with us.

In His Strength,

Cornerstone Assistance Network
Board Chairman


“Scott carried the spirit of Jesus that taught us all that cities are worth weeping over; they are worth serving,
and the conviction that entire cities can be transformed by the spirit of the living God. The legacy he leaves is great.
He will forever be remembered in our city for ShareFest, a city-wide movement of compassion and service.

We can best remember him by carrying this torch and pounding this drum,
'Let your light shine before men that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.’”

Ben Nockels, Skyline Church
