New reports this week continue to share the incredible nature of God’s hand at work in blessing the efforts of staff and students involved in the extension training program. The diligence put forth by each individual provides an example for all of us. The Lord is making a difference through His chosen vessels that are preaching the Gospel on a global scale. It is exciting to participate in this work.
The week ahead is a special week for the staff of the extension program as we will travel to the Freed Hardeman lectureship, which will conclude with our annual staff meeting. The opportunity to hear great lessons from God’s word, the fellowship shared among Christians from all around the country and world, along with talking about the work of extension training in each location where Bear Valley is privileged to share in the work of training men to preach, is a combination for one awesome week.
A real blessing is found each time the staff comes together because we take small steps that continue to improve the program overall. Please pray for us as we discuss matters related to the growth and success of this work.
Now on to the other reports...
