RADIOTON 2013

Once every year at Radio Punto we have a Radiotón to raise funds for the station.  This year, in addition to having our live programming at the studio we also sponsored a stage program called "An Evening with Radio Punto."  Each program prepared a 15-30 minute segment to present to the people who attended.

These first pictures are from a rehearsal that we held on Monday night.

Ricardo and Chalo practiced their skit about prayer.




Pastor Diego Galarza started off the Radiotón on Friday morning.

Faber and I took our turns also...

 ...along with some faithful listeners who arrived to give their offering and share their testimonies on the air.


Marisol participated by making some yummy desserts to share.

Tania and I closed the Radioton on Friday afternoon.

Then Joel helped us set up for the evening's program.

Pastor Diego began the evening with his segment "Línea Directa".

I "played" Marcos Witt.

The audience said that they enjoyed the program better than last year when we had Ecuadorian Christian artists come to sing!

The young people offered a snack bar for the audience members.

Miguel helped us to run the sound board.  He's always a willing helper.

Tania's program "El Escaparate" directed the second segment.

One of the parts of her program was "Pepito Preguntón", a young boy who asks questions about the Bible.

Then Pato Mena in the person of radio personality Christian performed.


The skit about prayer followed.





 
Jacob lasted a bit longer than Elías.

Then Tania sang.

Another radio segment followed: the "Olla de Presión" (in English, the "Pressure Cooker") with Faber and Christian.

They also presented a skit.

Complete with Chapulín...

 ...and Jesus!
Then "Lilly Goodman" sang during their segment.

And "Jesús Adrián Romero" during my segment, "Noches con Ned".  It was a good day and a good program.  We almost reached our goal of $1,500.  Only $200 away!

Goodbye Guam, Alii Palau!

Image
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,

GOOD THINGS HAPPENING 3

 A little background to this story.  I have been a fan of The Waltons from the beginning of the series.  In 2017 I attended the 45th anniversary celebration of the show in Schuyler, Virginia, the small hamlet where the series' creator Earl Hamner, Jr., was born and raised.  Perhaps I can share a bit more about that in a future post. During that weekend in March 2017 I met Reen Christie Bula (a/k/a Tammi Bula), who played John-Boy's love interest Marcia Woolery in the early seasons. Here is a shot of Reen and me, As well as a shot of all the cast member in attendance at the reunion with the exception of Michael Learned who went to bed early due to a play appearance the following day. During the weekend Reen, her husband Gordon and I shared time together, and she shared with me her testimony, how she came to the Lord through the witness of friends (she was working as an RN at the time) and how she saw the sign of Pi in the sky one day which prompted her to check out John 3:14-16

Guilty Pleasure!

Last Friday night the female staff of Pacific Islands Bible College had a Ladies Night to talk about marriage, dating, and relationships with the female students. I stayed home and put Joel to bed. Then I watched the final two episodes of the third season of "Homicide." (We do not have any TV reception here, so the only TV we get is by VHS or DVD). My mom used to ask me why I watched "Homicide" because in her mind it was a depressing show. To me it always dealt with serious issues in a meaningful way (racism against immigrants, the consequences of adultery, male/female work conflicts, etc.), plus the writing was rivoting and the performances were stellar. That was really the last TV show I had a true passion for. I enjoyed having the time to do that, to have some down time to escape from students arriving late to class,; grading papers, tests and quizzes; and dealing with discipline issues as Assistant Dean of Men. Here I present to you a list of my favorite TV dram
