April Prayer Requests

Joyce and I just returned from the Guam campus prayer meeting. It was a great time of fellowship and of course we had lots of food. Here are some of the things we have been praying about. I would appreciate it if you would pray along with us on these issues...

1. I am headed to Chuuk on Friday for the weekend to meet with the parents of the Tol campus students and the Evangelical Church of Chuuk pastors. Because of faculty and staff shortages we need to cut back the program from a 3-year to 2-year program and from 60 to 40 students. I need to explain this to them. Pray for clarity and good spirit for the meeting.
   
2. On Tuesday we will meet with Jeff McCann from TRACS, our accrediting agency, in regard to our Masters program and proposed Hawaii expansion. We are praying that our masters program will be approved and that we will have wisdom regarding moving on to the next step of expansion into Hawaii.
3. The Guam campus will have 24 graduates this semester. Pray that they will finish well and that they will listen as God guides them to the next phase of their lives. We are also praising God for the obvious deepening of the spiritual life and theology and the growth of these students.
   
4. Pray for Michael, Samantha and Titus (with guitar here) as they wait for the addition to their family (which of course would be our granddaughter) who could arrive at any time now.
   

One of our Palauan staff members tonight praised God for all the people, that he did not even know, who give and pray to make it possible for our missionary staff and faculty to be here. We agree. You are a blessing to us.
