Hey PIU-Guam Students, here is some news and encouragement for you. . . Prez to Student News.

Hey, Did I tell you, I'm really glad that Kathy is back. She is now convinced that I'm the one. I really enjoyed Chapel, today. Thanks so much for reminding me of God's faithfulness. Remember the right response to God's faithfulness is our obedience. God is faithful even in hard times. Our obedience should be steady as well. After chapel, Kathy and I took Kevin Graham out for lunch. Kevin, a graduate of PIU, is the administrative assistant/music leader/all around good guy at Lutheran Church of Guam. He and his wife, Diana just returned from a short-term mission trip to Japan. The Grahams are planning to become more involved in the work in Japan. Please pray for them. I'd love to see more PIU students head out to minister to the nations. Here is one outstanding opportunity. I'm praying that some of our PIU students will join Crystal Gosnell at Ministry of Mercy. Crystall is an LMUSA missionary and a friend of the Merrells. It was good to hear testimonies in chapel today abut this being a good semester. I agree. From God's faithfulness in meeting our individuals needs to His gracious supply of our needs as a school, we have seen His faithfulness. It was good to take note of that and to offer thanks. I shared in chapel today that I am open to having a Coffee with the President time with you students. Just give me an invitation to come to your dorm, or to meet somewhere else (for you off campus students, we could meet at the pavilion or at my apartment, if you would like.) CwtPis a friend-reaching/fundraising project. My goal really isn't to raise funds from you students, but to explore ways that you can help reach out to those who could, and should partner with us. Let me hear from you. Don't forget about the opportunity for new applicants to apply without the $40 application fee, and for you students to earn $100 credit. Click here for more information. Please continue to pray for Dave and Joyce Owen. Dave is out of the hospital, though his doctors wanted him to stay close by, so he and Joyce are in an apartment nearby. Joyce tripped over somethin construction related, and came up with a black eye and some bruises. Praise the Lord that no bones were broken. Pray that they will soon be back in their California home continuing to recover. You can read the latest here. It's more good news. Billy Edwin is in Hawaii for a family funeral. Let's make him proud with our participation in CLEAN&GREEN, on Monday. The following week, exam week, there will be no C&G. OK, it's not Daylight Saving Time, in fact we don't even do that on Guam, but I think you'll get the point, and beside that, you'll enjoy the video. Remember, you do have a ride to church. Talk to me and I'll make sure you do. Here we are in the Christmas season. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16   Christmas, Let's make it a time to live for God's glory. Hey, maybe some of you can help me out. I'm trying to sell Dave Owen's car. If you know somebody who is looking for a nice ride, send them my way. Here is the ad. Remember,  LIVE 4 JESUS! That's me at the far end.
