Shopping and decorating for Jesus--hard work, but Kathy did it well.

Shopping for Jesus.
That's been part of Kathy's ministry while she has been here at PIU on Guam.
Liebenzell Germany has sectioned off part of a house they own, here on campus, to be a guest apartment for visiting personnel--primarily teachers.  They provided most of the resources for the project.  Kathy and Joyce Owen, the President's wife, and staff member here, had the task of doing all the finishing up.  Which included a lot of shopping.  :)
The unit is fully furnished with a complete kitchen.  The new cabinets and appliances were here before we arrived.  Joyce and Kathy, scrounged, visited thrift shops and other stores to get it outfitted.  A very important piece of equipment--a coffee-maker was donated.  A lady won it as a prize & didn't need it.

As those of you who know me, Howard, know, when it comes to decorating, I have no opinion.  I do like the end result, though.


There is one more room in the apartment.  It has a desk shelves & futon.  It still had some extra stuff in it on the day we took pictures.  Anyhow.  We'll be here for another week.  If you come for a visit you can sleep on the futon.


 Kathy & I enjoyed having a group of students over for a snack and Bible study.

Here, the table is set, ready for guests.

Jele', on the left, is a student in my class.  His wife, Kaki is a counselor and is on staff at PIU.  Jele' has pastored in the Marshall Islands for about twenty years, but had no formal training.  While he is a student he is pastoring a Marshallese church here on Guam.  We enjoyed an evening with them, in our temporary home.

Like much that Kathy has done, her work will be a blessing to many who come after her.

Thanks for enabling us to serve the Lord here for these weeks.
