A New Pastor

So the new pastor is arriving tonight at 11:50pm. Clearly, we will be among those missing from the welcoming party. If there wasn’t work tomorrow and/or it wasn’t so (oh so very) late I would have decided to go. It’s kind of a big deal because the Koror Seventh-day Adventist Church has been without a pastor for well over a year.

There have been many times that I keep thinking , “Yeah… that’s one of the problems here in Palau, but when the pastor comes it’ll be different.” I keep pinning all my hopes on this guy that’s coming to Palau from the faraway land called Texas. I know some things will change for the better, but it will all take time. Pray for us here in Palau, but especially for the new pastor, the church here has been waiting for him for quite awhile.

Youth SS & Pathfinders

Here are some photos from youth Sabbath School & Koror Pathfinder Induction. Meaning that last Sabbath was the Palau Islanders Pathfinder Club induction at the Koror SDA church and that this Sabbath we have a second induction ceremony at the Airai church. We are doing two inductions because there are kids and staff in the club from both churches and we want both church families to know that this club with almost 70 kids in it is their Pathfinder club.

We were making shoe towers learning about the importance of a solid foundation. The kids that are in these pictures are all PMA students. Most of them are the students that live in the dorm. The ones that don’t live in the dorm are the Chinese, Taiwanese, Koreans that live with their parents here in Palau.

Enjoy!
