Travels continue... Yesterday I flew from Greensboro North Carolina through Newark to Los Angeles. After coming from Texas this week I met Steve Stinnette in Greensboro NC and we drove down to Columbia, South Carolina to meet students and faculty at Columbia International University. We were especially looking for faculty for our English (academic and "Bridge," remedial) programs on Guam and Chuuk. Of course we were also looking for faculty for our Bible/ministry programs too. We stayed with Don and Melissa Howell. Don is a faculty member at CIU and taught a course for us last summer on Guam and consulted with our board at the meeting in Palau. They always do a great job taking care of us.We had the opportunity to meet with several classes at CIU and with several fauclty members in their offices. We are hoping to see several CIU faculty members in Micronesia teaching short term in the coming summers. In the English classes we presented the opportunity we have, especially in Chuuk, to help many young people raise their English level to be ready for college level study. Several students were interested and two met with us to talk about what they needed to do to come to Chuuk by next August. On Thursday evening Don and Melissa hosted a dinner for us to meet with seminary students about the opportunity to become faculty members at PIBC. We met with three couples, all of whom were quite interested in PIBC. We will be praying that God will lead them and continue to bring the right people to PIBC to fill our growing needs for faculty and staff. The picture is of Bill Schuitt (Liebenzell USA global director and chairman of the PIBC board) and I at the TRACS conference.
