Student Friends

This is our friend Mac. Here in this picture he is helping to set up the tent for the Baccalaureate ceremony. He is our Student Council VP and the leader of the University of Guam witnessing team that I have been driving for this past year. Tonight he will help us to show a movie in the main classroom. We are showing the third part of Back to the Future complete with popcorn. A wonderful leader and friend, Mac will be working here on campus until the middle of July when he will join his teammates on the summer missions trip to Thailand. He will be serving on an ESL team in northern Thailand. Please pray for him and the rest of the team.
As Assistant Dean of Mean (our neighbor Melissa pointed out this typo; it should read Assistant Dean of Men. Perhaps it's a Freudian slip. You'll have to ask the men under my care. HA!) at Pacific Islands Bible College I have been so blessed to work with the men students. Last Thursday night Marisol and I invited them over to the house for men's devotions. We had a small snack for them, which they seemed to enjoy, but really the snack was for our ears. Micronesian men sing with beautiful harmonies, and Marisol commented how wonderful it sounded from the next room where she was playing with Joel. Please pray for these men during their varied summer activities, that they would be faithful examples of the Lord Jesus Christ and diligent in resisting the temptations that we all face.
The three ladies in the pictures above are Lydia, Marda and Breechlyn. As Children's Ministry Coordinator this year, it has been an honor for me to work with the students who do children's ministry in the local churches. Lydia, Marda, and Breechlyn have been serving faithfully at the Pohnpeian Church every Sunday morning. I would drop them off at 9, and the service would usually start at 11 and go until 1 or so. They worked in a small room without air conditioning with 40-50 children packed in. To say that they have worked admirably under difficult circumstances would be an understatement. We invited them over for dinner on Wednesday night and really enjoyed our time with them. All three of them have been good friends to us, and especially to Joel and Amelia. Please pray for them as they will be working this summer, Lydia in Yap and Marda and Breechlyn here in Guam.
