Here is the 2010 PIU Basketball Team!!!! We stared practice this week and will play our first game on Saturday October 2nd. We have been praying for a league to play in because the league we normally play in was not going to happen this year. God answered our prayers and we have a league to play in!!! Last year we as a school saw God do huge things through our basketball team. God added one to His kingdom and is using him to help grow other students in their love for Him. We don't have much time before our season starts and because all the students just had to pay their tuition for the semester there isn't much left over for uniforms. Each player will need $50 for their uniforms. I already have 2 families that are interested in sponsoring players and still need 13 more. If you would like to sponsor a player please email, facebook, or give me a call at 671-727-3506. I ask that you pray bout this and also lift our team up asking God to move in the hearts of these students. We are so blessed to have a culturally diverse team this year. I love it!!!!

Long Week!!

Started off this week getting robbed again for the second time in the past 8 days! But, not before an awesome time in the Word with the girls!!! Ha! Satan you'r a BIG Panty Waiste and Ha ha ha ha I know your future and I'm so pumped about it!!!! This time the creeps came in the dorm with students in there. But, no one was hurt and God used it. I have been staying up with our security guard trying to catch these guys and keep the girls safe. God has been faithful in giving me strength to stay awake and get sleep that I need to function. I just found out today that we will be able to get into a league for basketball and we will be starting on October 2nd!!! The guys are so excited so be in prayer for God's provision for uniforms. We will start practice on Monday!

Scuba Diving For The First Time!!!!

Today I tried out diving for the first time!!!! It was awesome except that I learned that I do not sink very well. lol Some of our professors took some of the students out to try out breathing underwater and they all loved it!! They did great I got to follow them around and take pictures. What a cool day!!! It ended with our first study of Romans in devotion tonight!!! I love studying the Word with these awesome women of God!!!

His Word!!

I was in Romans 1:1-17 this morning and wanted to share with you what God is dealing with me on. I am here as a missionary but, have been challenged with not sharing Christ outside PIU. Paul, writes that the Gospel is the power for Salvation so why are we ashamed if we know its power? I have been struggling with this question. If we truly believe Jesus is the only Way, Truth and Life then why are we so ashamed. I use shame because i believe it is a fruit of sin and I believe we don't share because of sin in our lives whether it be pride, unconfessed sin, or that maybe what we say we truly believe is not in fact what we truly believe. Just something to think about. My prayer today is that I would have a passion and zeal for God and His Word!! I never meet a stranger but that I would never meet a person who has never heard the Gospel!!!

Rain!!

Over the past two years I have not updated this blog but now I am planning on trying a note daily on here. So we will see ho wit goes. Today was awesome!!! Started off my day with hot water for my shower which was a huge blessing! Then it was off to Church with a van full of Palauans and Chuukese. Palau Evangelical Church is where I attend church here on Island. The Pastor is Andrew Immanuel and he brought the Word for sure this morning. (Phillipians 3:17-21) During service I had to help some Palauan students who grew up in Yap out with translating Palauan to English for the Chuukese students to understand. After Church a Church member who is also a student at PIU treated all teh students in the van to Lunch at McD's. Got some homework done and headed out to drop the Chuukese students at Chuukese Church. Did a run to the airport to take one of our English teachers to catch a flight to go teach English in Chuuk for a week. Then finished the night off with PIU Staff and Faculty potluck and prayer meeting. Great time of worship and prayer with coworkers. Love serving with these folks!! We spent a good amount of time praying for the students which I love to do!!! What and awesome day!!!!! Oh, did I mention I got to talk to my mom and that made it even better:)
