Greetings from Guam, I am back from a short trip to Hawaii and Southern California for some meetings and a time of vacation with our kids in SoCal (See below). I am settling back in and getting ready for a busy summer of ministry on Guam. Here are some important issues you could lift up in prayer for us. We would also appreciate it if you would share these requests in your church.
1. I am team-teaching a summer course (Exegesis in Hebrews) with Don Howell from Columbia International University starting on Monday. Please pray that Don would have a good experience here (he will also go to Palau with me in a couple weeks to consult at our board meeting) and that the students’ ability to preach the word will grow. We are excited to have a couple of the local pastors in the class.
2. Pray for me as I prepare for the Pacific Islands Bible College board meeting which will be in Palau June 25-28. We have many pivotal issues to discuss and we need to see the Lord’s direction for the future of the school. We will also be in Palau celebrating the 80th anniversary of the arrival of the Gospel there. Joyce will be training children’s workers as a part of this and working with the PIBC students who will be part of this ministry.
3. PIBC is sending out two mission teams this summer to Thailand and to Palau. Please pray that the students will be effective in ministry and that God will use this time in their lives to draw them closer to him and raise up long term missionaries out of the group.
4. Pray for our Chuuk campus teacher and staff shortage. We still need an English teacher and two Bible teachers there. In addition we have a business manager who plans to come from the Philippines who is having some visa problems. Please pray that the Lord will supply these needs along with our staffing needs in our other sites.
