It's not directly about us, but it is what we do:

I just posted some videos to the Coffee with the President Youtube channel. The second has a fund-raising element.

Both were prompted by the recent storm, which turned out to be a "banana storm," one only strong enough to knock down banana trees and not much else.


It is sad that these bananas will not grow to maturity. How much sadder when young adults are denied the opportunity to become all they can be for the glory of God.

These videos aren't Oscar-worthy, but I hope you enjoy them.

We just uploaded two videos to the "Coffee with the President" Youtube channel, https://www.youtube.com/c…/UCBK4ZyoB7ZkcHiJCJ6CaMoA/featured.
The first one, Post Mangkhut Report, part 1, https://youtu.be/UIM7L2HKvUk, features an impromptu interview about Mankhut with several PIU students, and some thoughts about the storm.

The second video, Post Mangkhut Report, part 2, is a continuation of the first one, including some lessons HM learned. It goes on to describe a critical financial need that represents a far greater threat to Pacific Islands University than did Mangkhut.


Since our videos are about the Typhoon that recently passed by Guam, let me use this opportunity to ask you to pray for the people in the Philippines who are being battered by a much stronger Mangkhut, and the people on the East Coast of the US, who are dealing with Florence.

In the same way that our students rallied together to deal with the Typhoon, we need all the supporters of PIU to come together to deal with a far greater threat.
Thanks for watching.
