Back From Chuuk

I arrived back on Guam from Chuuk on Saturday night. Joyce arrived back from Yap on Sunday morning. My next few posts will be about those trips. The purpose of my trip to Chuuk was to teach the classroom component of the Genesis Exegesis class and to meet with the administration of the teaching facility and campus. Brandon Biue of Ialethia also went with me to Chuuk. The first day was mainly spent getting set up for the class and then teaching the first session. We had 10 students including three teachers at the local Christian school and one pastor. We had a good discussion and it was nice to have the new video projector that we received as part of our distance education grant. I taught the first five, of eight, two-hour sessions during the week taking a break in the middle to go across the lagoon to meet with the Tol, Chuuk campus faculty and staff. We are hoping that as Chuuk gets access to faster internet that we will be able to offer some of our courses entirely on line. At this point our Weno, Chuuk teaching facility has only dial-up access and our Tol, Chuuk campus has no internet access. Nevertheless, I do enjoy getting into the classroom there and spending time with the students.
