One big difference between the students at PIU and those at an American Christian university is that most of our students do not have access to personal or public transportation. Thus, PIU needs to provide transportation for our students, not only for ministry and school events, but for their basic needs like food and necessities shopping, doctor and bank visits and other regular student needs. We began the school year with two old vans that we prayed would make it through the semester, but both broke down in the first week of classes. Due to the grace of our friends at Triple J Motors we were able to buy a new commercial van for the price of a family passenger van. However, we needed to raise $12,500 within 30 days of receiving the van. With the deadline of October 15th coming up next week we are still about $5000 short of meeting our goal. Please join us in praying for God to meet this need. If you would like to help us reach our goal you can make a donation by calling PIU at 671-734-1812, on line at http://www.piu.edu/advancement/donation/, or you can come by the office any time on weekdays.
