End of Year Prayer Requests

We have come to the end of another semester. I am almost done with my grading and we are getting ready for a few days of relaxation between Christmas and New Years. Here are a few things we are praying about and we would appreciate your joining us in prayer on these issues.
Please pray .....
  1. For our December graduates from the Guam campus McQuade Alfonso, Merong Hideoshi, Jonathan Sam, Twinsanne Sam, Randy Samuel and Benneth Ychiro. Some are considering missions opportunities. Others are planning to return to their islands to work in local churches or schools.
  2. For PIBC student mission trips to Saipan and Yap. The Yap team is on an outreach mission that involves using basketball as a forum for sharing the gospel. The second team has gone to Saipan for 10 days at the invitation of one of the Chuukese churches there. However, unlike the other PIBC mission trip this one is completely student organized. Pray that both teams are energized by the Spirit and represent Christ and the school well.
  3. For PIBC administration as we begin the process or reaffirmation of our accreditation. I am in the process of writing the self study proposal. This is a big job that will keep us busy throughout 2008-9.
  4. Pray for new students for the Guam campus. 6 graduates and some student movement has created some openings in the dorms.
  5. For our Chuuk campus. We have some critical personnel needs including a maintenance supervisor, English teacher and Bible teacher.
Thank you for your prayers for us this semester. It has gone by fast but we have seen God's blessings in many ways. We are thankful for some time to rest and focus on the incarnation of the Son of God. We pray that you have a blessed Christmas season and wonderful 2008.
