(From Left, Top Row) Hadson Ngirikasau, Meluat Meluat, Gary Linny (Middle Row) Xyanne Sonis, Shelby Salvador, Lucy Aunu, Teisy Tatashy, (Bottom Row) Jayleen Nakamura (Not Pictured) Karl Flores, Soram Manual, Paylinn Sias, Justin Marar, MD Hossaion, Orichy Orichiro, Michael Vigil These men and women are equipped and ready to move into the next stage of their lives, which looks different for each one. Shelby, Hadson, and Paylinn are returning to their home islands of Palau and Chuuk in order to begin teaching in the elementary and high schools thus fulfilling the great need for qualified educators. Meluat is ready to work in the Palauan church and enter the mission field. Teisy is considering applying to our Master of Arts in Religion program through our seminary, PIES. Others, still weighing their options, are well prepared to enter various marketplace positions made available through their education and degree from PIU.
They will be joining the ranks of alumni who already serve as teachers in public and private schools, church workers, hospital administrators, and business and government leaders. Your donations make it possible for PIU to offer these students, most of whom would otherwise not be able to attend an institution of higher education, the opportunity and support to complete an accredited university degree. Most of our students are only able to come here through our low tuition cost which we lower for qualified students to such a degree that we need the support of donors like you to provide the balance of finances for this ministry.
We rely on the generosity of our supporters to fulfill our operating costs. As this year draws to a close, we are facing a $20,000 deficit in our Rising Tide Annual Fund. Please prayerfully consider adding PIU to your Christmas list and help us give the gift of higher education for those who consider it out of reach.
A Blessed Christmas to you and yours from all of us here at PIU!
