Philippine College of Ministry

HIU Almunus Steve Hong reported that the Philippine College of Ministry in Baguio City lost their 10,000 volume library in a fire in early December. The Darling Library was able to help them begin to restock with second or third copies of books that had been recently donated (mostly from Jeff Wilson's personal library) or pulled from our Theology section.

Steve's mother, Karen Hong, arranged to pick up the books and ship them to the Philippiines.
