Day 4 in Palau - Headed Home

Saturday we finished up the first part of the class sessions in Palau as we looked at Genesis 21-26. I will be doing class sessions 6-8 when I return in April. After class we met with PIBC graduate Hedrick Kual. Hedrick is considering several seminaries and has been accepted at Dallas, Fuller and Southwestern Seminaries. He was the PIBC valedictorian in 2005. I know that he would appreciate your prayers for direction and provision for this next step in his life. After lunch I got to meet with Edward Ngiratrang. Eddie was one of our students from 1984-88 when we taught at Emmaus High School in Palau. Eddie went on to graduate from Columbia Bible College and also attended Southeastern Seminary before he had to return to Palau to take care of family responsibilities. He is now an administrator and teacher at the local public high school - Palau High School. He also preaches and leads Bible studies for the church. I was very encouraged to hear what God is doing in his life and to see how he is being greatly used in ministry.

Later we prepared for the flight back to Guam. This is one of the worst flights in Micronesia. It leaves as 1.10 AM from Palau and then stops in Yap. I had to get off the plane and wait in the terminal in Yap for a security check. We then reboarded and got to Guam at 5.30 AM. Joyce left the car in the airport parking lot and we drove home and got in bed at about 6.00 AM. We will be going to the PIBC prayer-potluck tonight and then fly out to Chuuk tomorrow morning to teach the Genesis sessions all over again at the Chuuk TF. We'd appreciate your prayers again as we teach and meet with church and school leaders.
