Preparation for Palau Mission Trip

Republic of Palau

OUR TEAM VISION: Our team will be participating in a variety of ministries throughout June. These includes a Youth Rally and Youth Camp, a Children's Day, Village Evangelism, Music, and Drama. Our team will also participate in Palau's Gospel Day Celebration, which remembers the arrival of the gospel to Palau seventy-nine years ago. We will be in Palau from June 9 through July 3. Although we will be staying in Koror, we will be traveling to many of the villages presenting ministry and inviting people to the Gospel Day celebration in Koror during the last week of June. On behalf of my team, we kindly ask for support in prayer and giving. We are confident that God alone is the One who speaks to the hearts of people to give to those who are in need. If you sense that God is calling you to become prayer and financial supporters, don't be hesitate, please feel free to contact us: pibc@edu.com

PIBC Day

SHADRACH TEAM

I have to apologize for using these pictures from some of the PIBC bloggers (smile). Unfortunately my digital camera broke during our (Shadrach) night, so I definitely cannot upload all the pictures from PIBC Day that I took. Yeah, that is why I'm like so behind in posting :-(
Each team did a very good job in the decoration and beautified the classroom, very creative & well done! Not to be bragging but I was really touched by the Shadrach (my team) decoration. It absolutely gave a clear picture of what really happen back then with those three men (Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego), where they had to stand their ground even when the world they were in was corrupt.

MESHACH

The theme for PIBC Day this year is "Stand Your Ground" Three short lil' words. Right on point! I wonder which brain among the STUCO fellow did this idea derive from. I was moved by all the messages that was given based on this theme ~Stand Your Ground~ It really fits the PIBC folks, we hear the word mostly everyday but do we stand our ground based on what we are learning?

ABEDNEGO

Jenny [Left] and Percia [Right] perfectly did a good job on their action song. They are very talented! In fact they were the one who figured out the hands & motion for this song. However these two used to stayed up late at night practicing. It wasn't an easy work especially with a tight schedule but they did it!

A Farewell for Dale and Marion (Joyce's parents)

Owen's House

It is always unkool and sad to see people leaving!

Signing the card for Joyce's parents secretly :-)

Joyce and Brad are back for more food (smile). This is a new extension to the Owen's house. It's kool!

This is May saying that she is NOT a blogger! (smile) I remember the Guam Association Meeting we attended in PT - The blog's disadvantages issue was mentioned in that meeting, how danger it can be for people to trace you through the information you update on your blog. Well that's why I called my blog page "Dextor Forum" anyone is familiar with Dextor from PIBC? (Laugh).

The END of the Potluck!

~Calvary Baptist Church Updates~

This is a wonderful Church I ever attended here on Guam since after GEC. The people are nice, open and friendly with their warm welcome on every Sunday. I don't know, but it feels like a home Church to me. I even hooked up Lydia to this Church, she loves it and right now she is working with Amalia Vigil and me in the Children's Church for this whole month.

This is our Bible Study Class. Mohamed H. [left] is our teacher. Unexpectedly, there were three students (Matz, Paris & John) from Martha Puckett's class who joined us this morning. We had a great time in our discussion. Unfortunately, Lydia is unseen in this picture because she had to be our photographer on this shot (smile).

Basket Ball Game @ Agana Height Gymnasium

NATIVE V.S. FAIBO

The "Native Team" is a mixture of Yapese and Kosrean. Last night Lydia and I went with our cousins to watch this game. It was a very nice and exciting game, the score was really tight. The team "Native" was the one we cheered for played against the "Faibo. Luther Pong [right in red], one of the PIBC alumni was playing on the other team (Faibo).

This is the end of the game! The "Native" won this time. As you can obviously see their happy faces. This team has been on ever since, they won a lot of games already. Hopefully, we will have them play against PIBC someday. It will be a good opportunity of ministry.

These two players here made a lot of shots tonight and Brad [the taller guy on my right] can amazingly lay up smoothly and in such a fancy way . This guy can obviously dunk. Most of his shots was awesome [impressive tone].

~A song dedicated to Joyce's parents from the men's dorm~

Island Songs in Chapel

Chuukese Group
The Chuukese are very gifted in singing and creative in composing a lot of Christian songs. According to my observation, they are the best group among all the nationality here in PIBC that always ready to sing in their language even when they are asked last minute still they can do it very well. Unlike Yapese, we always have hard time to come up with Yapese song to sing. In fact there are really few Christian songs beside the hymn in Yapese. How sad :-(

Yapese Group: Actually this song we sang is originally from Chuuk (Chuukese song) translated in Yapese by Timothy Ruda.

PIBC FUN NIGHT

We have a lot of talented singers in PIBC (smile). This was the time of playing games which the some of the staff were asked to sing out there given Scriptures. They all did a wonderful job!

Dave did a very good job on this although it took him forever to finish. He was very tried hard patiently till he did it.
