Owen Weekly Prayer Requests April 23-30

I will be heading down to Chuuk tomorrow with Mary Johnson, the PIBC academic VP and Jens Schulz, our finance guy, to meet with our Chuuk faculty and administration. We need to go over the board decisions and prepare for our reaffirmation of accreditation coming up within the next year. We have made some changes to our curriculum that will better (we hope) focus our students' practical ministry training and we need to talk about how to implement them. We will have some hard decisions to make so I do appreciate your prayers. I will be back on Thursday.
Here are a few other prayer requests... (and a picture of Joyce with her class)
  1. Many of our students and staff are down with the flu/cold that we had/have. Please pray for quick recovery as some of the students are getting behind in their studies.
  2. Pray for Happiness Lodge, the student that will accompany us on our mini-furlough. He has this cold and he needs to prepare for the trip, raise support and finish up his academic work for the semester. Also pray that God will use him in the lives of the people he will minister to.
  3. We have a lot of loose ends to tie up before we go on furlough next month. Please pray for our wisdom in getting this stuff done.
  4. We have many (too many) opportunities to minister. Please pray for our wisdom in knowing which ones to pursue.
  5. Please pray that we can get our summer schedule together. Most of our churches are scheduled but we have a few more to go. We would love to see all of you this summer. Let us know if we can speak in your church service, mission meeting, Bible study, chapel etc - We'll even just meet you for ice cream to talk about what God is doing in Micronesia.
Many Blessings, Dave and Joyce
