Training Preachers

Ronald  is a brother from Ebeye who is graduating from High School next week. He wants to be a preacher on Ebeye and Gugeegue. He wants to go to college in the US. We talked in great length of what it would take and the expense of college in the US.

Brother Robert Martin, from Forest Park, GA.  was a missionary for many years on several Pacific Islands. Brother Martin, under the direction of the Forest Park Elders, created the Pacific Island Bible College. It is a two year course designed to train the men of the Pacific Islands in God's word. They do not have to leave their homes.

 We have signed Lee, Ronald, Ramey (at right), and Peterson (bottom pic) up for the course. All three of the Marshallese men want to spread God's word to their people.
Lee and I are going on vacation soon. The men will all begin the courses when we return. Lee and I will do all we can to help our brothers study God's word. Please pray for their success.

Lee and I live on an Army base. The mail is run as a courtesy of the US Postal Service to this Army base in the Pacific Ocean. They have tightened up on the rules of having APO Postal privileges. We can no longer accept mail meant for anyone except ourselves. They can cut off our mail privileges all together. They have also tightened up on getting the boxes through the dock to get on the ferry to go to Ebeye. That means we can no longer do our usual Christmas for the kids.  We can have it shipped in by boat, but that will require much more planning. It is the US government.  Their mission is to make things as difficult as possible for their people who sacrifice living in the Pacific.
