2011 is getting off to a great start. Today, the Bear Valley Bible Institute of Denver begins working with the 15th Extension School. The Cameroon Bible Institute of Wotutu opened its doors to 20 men who began their training to preach the gospel.
As you have probably already noticed, the weekly report is LOADED with reports from the various works we are involved with around the world. I will not take time to write much more. The work speaks for itself. Please read each part of the weekly report. It is worth your time. Thank you!
