Dear, Howard
Back in the old days, before we "retired," there were times of intense activity in our ministry. TEENWEEK and Live Nativity are notable examples. I don't think we ever had a spell as intense for as long as the period from which we just emerged. For most of you, the next few sentences will be a glimpse into the strange world of academia but hang with me, it'll help you understand what we and PIU do.
PIU is an accredited school. That accreditation has to be reaffirmed every ten years. That involves a multi-step process with our Accrediting agency, TRACS. A big part of the process is preparing a Self-Study, a comprehensive examination of every aspect of the school.
We just sent the 110-page document to the Peer Evaluators who will visit our campus at the end of March. I was very much involved in writing that Self-Study. Now our focus has shifted to preparing for the visiting team.
That and all the normal stuff--Kathy works two days a week in the front office and is teaching the Intro. to Music class again, that and keeping house,
entertaining guests, helping to disciple the women students, and. . . . I'm also teaching a class and keeping up with all my usual stuff.
We are well. Though what we are doing is challenging we continue to enjoy it. After we completed the Self-Study, Kathy and I were able to get out of Mangilao for a weekend. We got a good deal at one of Guam's oldest resorts. We basically did nothing and enjoyed it a lot.
Our mission, LMUSA, just published the newest edition of Live Ready, their quarterly mini-magazine. This edition focuses on Micronesia. I think you'll like it.
Thank you, so much for partnering with us in this work. We should tell you more often, but know that we really appreciate all that you do.
By His Grace, we press on,
H&K |
