Today was the final day of the Pacific Islands Bible College Faculty Conference. It was a good three days of fellowship, curriculum discussion, exchanging of teaching ideas and discussion of other various areas of teaching business. Because our sites are so far apart it is difficult to get all of our faculty together, so these times are especially valuable. We also welcomed new faculty members Melody Plaxton (English from Liebenzell Mission USA), Eric Sorenson (Theology from the Evangelical Covenant Church) and Christel Churchill (Math from the Lutheran Church Mission).Much of the conference was spent receiving training on our Distance Education web site from David Ahlgren of Wave Media (pictured with us). Though David came from Oklahoma, he grew up on Guam. His name might be familiar to many of you who are familiar with our ministry because he was one of our foster kids in 1997-8. He went through typhoon Paka with us. It was really a blessing to have him here training our faculty and seeing how God has blessed his life. We also learned that we may have an internet connection to our Chuuk campus for the first time. Please pray about that. Our Chuuk staff might actually be able to use their DE training!
