Our 2013 PIU Days celebration began with chapel service today. Dean of Students Rob Watt assembled a panel of long term PIU faculty to reminisce about the history of the school. The panel included Steve Bradley, who actually taught the very first class offered at the Micronesian Institute of Biblical Studies (which became PIBC in 1991 and PIU in 2009) in 1976 and attended the first organizational meeting in 1974, Bill Wood, who started at MIBS in 1986 and became the 2nd president of PIBC in 1995, Iotaka Choram who was one of the first MIBS graduates and has been on the faculty at PIU since the mid-90’s, and me. There were a lot of stories told about God’s miraculous provision for the school and the dedicated service of many people over the last, almost, 40 years.
We started with some music and prayed together.
When you get a group of “old guys” talking about the “old days” there are a lot of interesting stories to be told. As you can see the audience was entranced. Seriously it was a good time of thanking God for what He has done through PIU.
