Here is a recap of the final days of our friends Hiob and Leah and their children Micah and Jireh in Guam. They have returned to Palau where Hiob will serve as senior pastor of the Koror Evangelical Church. We all started together at PIBC back in fall 2006 and we have worked together, laughed together, cried together, prayed together, and grown together. Although it is hard to say goodbye, we know that they will be a blessing to the Church in Palau, and we find comfort in the words of the Michael W. Smith song "Friends": friends are friends forever if the Lord's the Lord of them. Amen! We had a BBQ in their honor on campus at the beginning of June before the Thai mission team left. Delight posed with Micah and Hiob during a break from barbecuing. He is a fantastic barbecuer. Notice he's even holding the tongs, to a barbecuer what a hammer is to a carpenter. As always, everyone enjoyed the food, the centerpiece of any Micronesian celebration. Before our friends left,
My Youth and Children class has been out and about Guam doing children's ministry in different church settings. We recently participated in a Saturday morning kids club at the Pacific Missionary Fellowship Church, affiliated with Pacific Missionary Aviation, as well as a Baptist children's ministry outreach to the Chuukese community in Mangilao. Activities included songs, crafts, games, Bible stories, and even baking cookies for the snack. I was proud of both of my groups and pray that they continue to use their talents for the Lord.
