John and Earnea (not Beanea) Bosley were dedicated missionaries. Since you have identified a receipt, I am open to giving these funds as a memorial award. 

The Memorial Award which bears their names was gifted by their family to encourage those who are (please see the previous email for the purpose of the scholarship. It is not limited to those actively involved in national or international missions programs). 

John and Earnea (not Bernea) Bosley were stalwart servants in their local congregation and representatives of the Grace of God in their community. They were also committed to taking the Gospel to the world. To that end, they each dedicated their lives to Missions Ministry. My dad did not travel on missions trips outside of this country. His involvement was in Christian Education and Service in this country. (John traveled on mission trips around the world) while Earnea (Bernea) focused on Christian education, local and short missionary service in the U.S. and elsewhere. After John’s passing, Earnea (Bernea) continued to work in missions’ ministry well into her 70s (not 80s), travelling to Mexico, Haiti (not Jamaica), Benin, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, and Spain and various parts of the United States where she could do the work of God in drawing others to Christ and lending a helping hand to those in need. 

In 2021, Elveria Walton, her husband Charles Walton, along with her sister, Sabrina Johnson donated the first Sankofa Memorial Award to a Sailes Legacy Scholar in the name of their parents.  

In 2024, the family funded an endowment to award an adult who is actively involved in Christian Education and local and foreign missions’ ministry. Through their generosity, The John and Earnea (Bernea) Bosley Memorial Missions Award has been created. The inaugural award is being presented in 2025 to Sharonda Peck.
