Some Interesting PIBC Stuff

Joyce and I will be headed to Oregon this weekend. We'll talk about that next week but in the meantime here are some interesting PIBC items...

From the PIBC Web Site:

PIBC is the newest FAN of Abunga.com! is a US-based family-friendly content-safe online discount book retailer with a gazillion titles in their four regional warehouses.

When you sign-up to become a "member" (a very simple and quick online process) you choose a FAN -- that is, a "Favored Affiliate Nonprofit." That's where PIBC comes in. If you choose PIBC we receive a 5% commission from products you purchase through them. It is also possible to make a credit card donation of any amount to PIBC when you are checking out. So, for example, if your books cost a total of $24.30 you can choose to add a .70 donation to round it up to $25. Or if you're really wanting to bless PIBC you could add a $975.70 donation. You get the idea!

Steve Stinnette - Guam Campus Director

Please keep Steve and Anne Stinnette in your prayers. His eye condition has worsened and will keep them form going to Thailand with the mission trip team. It may also mean that they will need to go back to the US mainland for treatment much earlier, maybe September, than we expected. He then could have a recovery time of 15 months to two years. Pray for wisdom on decisions that need to be made, the logistics of this kind of move and of course for healing. Also be praying for PIBC that we can fill the giant hole this will leave on our staff.

Admissions

We have a lot of big decisions to make over the next few weeks on who to admit to the campuses. The dorms are full and we have many more applicants. Pray that we will have God's wisdom on this one.

There is a lot going on at our PIBC sites without a lot of people there to take care of the situations. Our people "standing in the gaps" there are much appreciated and need your prayers.
