In the midst of the business of many things going here at the school and I just want to take this very moment just to send this email to you all. It is just a glimpse of what is going right now as I am serving here at the Pacific Islands University. I can only say that the faithfulness of God is way above and beyond my imagination on how he been taking me through many situations in my life. It is now coming to a year since I been here and I have seen many things that God has shown me and all are always reminding me of who he is and all his characters. Every time I think of all that I encounter here I always ended with the fact that he is in control of everything. Tonight I also had a chance to check my blog which its been a few months that I have not updated it, and so I am hoping to get going with it in the days to come.
I also want to ask for your support in prayer as I continue to serve here until when God will remove me. There are many things that is going on now and I just need your faithful support in prayer.
1. Pray for staff and faculty that we will continue to serve the Lord fully and be able to transform by his grace.
2. Pray for the Students as they are going through this semester for they will be able to finish well.
3. Some of the students have shared their desire to travel this summer doing mission work in the neighboring islands.- Pray for God's leading in their plans and for God's approval in all that.
4. Pray for the family of Iotaka Choram who is one of our professors that his mom passed away. Pray for God's comfort in the time of sorrow.
5. I am still finishing up my Graduate courses with the last my very last course, please pray for God's provision and ability to finish well.
6. Feb 1-4 We have the Story Crafting Conference going on now and pray for the presenters ( Sam and Maria Keckler, John McCabe and Rachelle Heverly) as well as the people that are attending so that they can learn more on how to effectively use their own story to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ to others.
7. Please pray for my ministry and relationship with the everyone here at PIU that I will have a teachable spirit and able to serve.
8. Pray for Pacific Missionary Aviation - PMF and the ministry there with the Children- need kids club teacher. Pray for the youth or the high school kids that I am leading a bible study with them on Fridays that God will continue to teach them his word.

Preaching for a change in Mirconesia
October 20-22 We had the privilege to have someone that is gifted in the area of Preaching ministry come out to Guam and be our speaker for the preaching conference here in Guam. The conference was held at the Guam Reef Hotel and the room was filled with about 50 church pastors, leaders,and university students. The speaker was mainly speaking on sermon preparation that base on the bible and truly what it means to be preaching deep in Scriptures.

here you go!
hi all, its been a while without any updates on this and I just want to say that its just because there has been a lot going on here. The Lord has done so much in my life and around me in the lives of others. I have been dealing with Recruitment and Alumni relations lately aiming to have 20 new students in the spring semester and also communicate with our Alumni so that they can help us on this. I am glad to have a team of staff, faculty that are on the Advancement team along with few energetic students that are ready to go out and talk about us at high schools around Guam. Truly its been a hard time for me with many things trying to understand, accomplish and many times will always takes away my focus and concentration. Please pray for me as I work that I will diligently lead our guys here at the school in way that really honors God. Pray that we will always glorify God in all areas of ministry. Here are some areas:
1. My responsibility here at PIU- resident assistant dean of the guys
2. Bible Study at PMA youth.
3. UOG ministry- students
4. Micronesian Communities Focus ministry-with FSM leaders, Lawrence and others.
5. Thanksgiving and Christmas ministry- in palau and saipan.
Just pray that God will continue to use us to awaken his churches here in the islands to rise up and serve him. This generation should be taken back to the LORD.

Beyond ach Mikronesian Horizon.
Beyond our Micronesian Horizons!
God is good! all the time! All the time! God is good! It has been a while I never get back to you. There’s a lot that the Lord is been doing and it is always a blessing to be part and victimized by his loving-kindness. Last couple weeks I was in Chuuk to do some recruiting work and am glad that we can accomplish the purpose of our trip. On the other side, I am thankful to God for allowing me to be in Chuuk during a briefing moment in the family for the loss of three people from the close family. As I look back my heart is full of joy and thanksgiving for his plan that he allows me to be home during that time. It was a great time to be with the family, meeting the Director of Education in Chuuk, and some brothers and sisters in the ministry.
Flew from Chuuk back to Guam and then on to Yap. Our team was doing a wonderful job in Yap in serving under Pastor Asael and the Yap Evangelical Church. We had a great opportunity to do different ministries-(Youth, Children, Prison and high school ) you can view some pictures on my blog- http://pwipwi7.blogspot.com/ and on Dave’s blog. Just continue to pray for the work as we are partnering to reach our own people for Christ.
Further out in somewhere, there was the team that sends to Sentani in Papua Indonesia we are so grateful for the wonderful work they did there and we are glad to see the partnership that has been develop in reaching the lost for the gospel of Jesus Christ. Further work is continued to develop as we move on this ministry.
Coming back to base- you might heard that there are lots of changes here at the school, there are some people that are not here anymore but all still serve the Lord. I am asking God, why all these happened? But anyways, it is a time for me to really putting my trust in the Lord to allow him to show me what to do in this situation. My heart is still at the mission work with students and to help them grow in their walk with the Lord. I really enjoy my time with the students last spring, this summer and hopefully this coming fall. I am looking forward to do more that I can do to prepare young men and women for the work of the Lord either in Micronesia or abroad.
Here are some prayer points that I am asking if you can pray for;
• Great awakening in the islands, churches and people to really realize their need of the Lord. There are many areas that we are still doing on our own. The Holy Spirit will take control.
• I am planning to take a small team to Saipan this Christmas break- to minister to my family and relatives and also visiting the churches there to encourage believers in their walk with the Lord.
• Pray for my time here at PIU to be productive in many areas of service- time with the Students that will build a trust-based relationship with them.
• As being part of the staff- my responsibility to the School as well as unto God.
• Pray for the beginning of this school year- God will help us to prepare all that is needed for the fall.
• All ministries here that we are involve in- God will continue to give direction and courage-(Ranch ministry- Lawrence, UOG ministry- Daniel, and some other churches that we are having relationship with.
• If have anything that you want me to pray for, please contact me- billy.edwin@gmail.com and please indicate if you want me to share with some people or not.
Thank you and God bless you as you serve Him,

June- July
The Summer turn out to be the most challenging time in our ministry as well as the school. If you remember we have been asking to pray for the teams that we send out in the beginning of May till the end of June. It has been a blessings to see how the Lord has used these two groups in those two different places.( YAP AND SENTANI-PAPUA INDO)
My trip to Chuuk was filled with many unexpected things in the family which demanding my time to be with family and relatives. There were three funerals when I was in Chuuk in spite all these I was able to accomplish much for the purpose of the trip to Chuuk. We visited some of the high schools and presenting the info about our English test and so we were able to have some students came to take the test. I was also able to meet the Director of the Chuuk State Education where by I was shock to hear that 153 non-degree teachers are to be laid off soon. I was sharing that the PIBC- alumni are impacting our communities by teaching in some of our elementary schools and I am willing to encourage them as well as our new graduates to consider teaching and investing in the life of our own kids in Chuuk.
The Indo- team spend 5 weeks interacting and learning under the GIDI leaders there and some other Church leaders. It was a challenging time for them to get to know those people there and experience their culture and many other things. They were encouraged as their worship with them and that is one of their experiences that really open their eyes to see that people there and how they come into the presence of the Lord as they worship. Same as the Yap team- their time in Yap has been so rich by being able to minister to people in Churches, schools and the prison. By being with them I can see that they were so connect with the people there. Their relationship is so strong where you can see the fruit of what they had been doing on daily basis.

April- May
1 Corinthians 1:18
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
Ach kapong lon iten Sises ngeni kemi! Feioch me kinamwe epwe nonom remi. It has been quite a long time I never blogging and give updates on the ministry. It has been a long story since then but I think I will just wrap them up in short phrase which will describe it- Kot mei alukuluk ngeni ei seni lom tori feifeilochok. Coming into ministry always reminding me of the fact that I serve God not primarily people and this truth always bugging me every time I think of serving and doing ministry. Well, God is always faithful in bringing me here to work as the Alumni Relations Coordinator and also the SURGG prog. I am happy to deal with our my fellow islanders in preparing them for ministry and I think that is one of the most important thing that I can be doing in my whole life.
Here are some ways of supporting the work of the LORD.
1. Pray for Mission trips- we are sending three teams this summer. Two in Micronesia and one is going to be in a place outside Micronesia.
2. Pray for God's protection over all these students and the leaders.
3. Pray for the people in YAP and Palau that God will speak to them and they will be receptive to his word.
4. Pray for the needs of these trips.
5. I ask that you continue to pray for me that I will humble myself as a servant of HIM.
6. Pray for the graduates that God will direct them toward ministries and they will obey God's calling for their lives.
7. Pray for all that we all have the Love of Christ and serve one another in love.
8. pray for you! How do I pray for you?
