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,
We are happy to have Steve and Anne back at PIBC. They arrived last night amidst many smiles and tears of joy. Joel made leis for them and you can see by their smiles that Steve and Anne enjoyed his gift of love. Hopefully their bodies will adjust soon to the time change. God worked a miracle in allowing Steve's eye to function well without surgery; he wears a special contact lense fit to his eye. God is good, and we are grateful to have our friends back with us again.
