God is good all the time. All the time, God is good. The thought behind this expression emphasizes the direction of the overall program. God has blessed the work of extension training and continues to show His goodness and favor throughout the world. The development of each location where Bear Valley is privileged to work in training men to preach is powerful. The dedication of the staff and students throughout the world is an example for all of us.
The week has been filled with various activities. A number of the stateside teachers and coordinators have been traveling to visit schools where short courses were needed. The reports below will indicate the enjoyment of the staff and students, along with their families, with the classes that were taught.
One of the greatest joys in this work is seeing the unity between brethren who come together with a common purpose. The joy fills to overflowing when seeing the efforts of like-minded brothers and sisters who want nothing more than to see the kingdom of God grow, the lost saved, and the church built up. The good accomplished through working side by side to fulfill God’s mission is making a difference.
This week the reports continue to bring encouragement to all of us at Bear Valley for the opportunity to share in the kingdom work. To God be the glory for all we are able to do together, and for the increase He continues to give as we work to honor our Master.
