The Jinkerson family\u00a0and Dr. Vardiman worked with Perry Jinkerson, Dr. Jinkerson&#8217;s brother, and a church group from Starkville, Mississippi. The team\u00a0engaged in various forms of mission work, including working in the school of the blind, visiting a local prison and hospital, and going to an extremely impoverished area called the &#8220;dump&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coba\/files\/2013\/09\/photo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"photo\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coba\/files\/2013\/09\/photo-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The mission team also built a house in memory of Dr. Jinkerson. After five hours of strenuous work,\u00a0the house was complete and ready for a Honduran family to move in. The\u00a0money to build the house was collected in donations and cost less than\u00a0 $2,000 to construct. This was the second house Dr. Jinkerson&#8217;s mother, Lavern, had built in honor of a family member. Dr. Vardiman stated, &#8220;Building this house truly was a healing experience for all who were involved.&#8221; Dr. Jinkerson will always be remembered as a revered son, father, teacher, and friend. He has left an incredible legacy in COBA and the entire ACU community through the way he served others and walked with Christ. The Honduran home built in honor of Dr. Jinkerson reflects the diligence, the hard work, the commitment, the hope,\u00a0and the strong foundation Dr. Jinkerson personified to everyone whose lives he touched.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coba\/files\/2013\/09\/photo1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1727 aligncenter\" alt=\"photo(1)\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coba\/files\/2013\/09\/photo1-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coba\/files\/2013\/09\/photo1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coba\/files\/2013\/09\/photo1-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coba\/files\/2013\/09\/photo1-490x367.jpg 490w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/coba\/files\/2013\/09\/photo1.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On October 12, 2012, one\u00a0of COBA&#8217;s\u00a0most esteemed\u00a0professors, Dr. Daryl Jinkerson, passed away.
