November has amazingly crept in and now we are moving toward the middle of the month. Time clips by so quickly. Each week brings more exciting news about the development of training men to preach the gospel. We are approaching the middle of the second quarter, which usually brings mid-term exams. Students are diligently preparing for their exams and a bit of research before a short holiday break.
The past week hosted seniors preaching in chapel for their Homiletics 3 class. It may sound a bit biased, but these men did an outstanding job of proclaiming God’s word. The messages were relevant and applicable to the staff and students. As these men complete their studies in December, we are confident they will impact the souls of many people. As we near the time of their completion, we will share more about each individual and where they plan to work.
Reports this week highlight the work in several locations where students are also diligent in their studies and outreach with the gospel. We hope you will be encouraged with the news of souls added to the kingdom and congregations strengthened in the faith. We are constantly encouraged by reading about the work of these men. The thought that the sun never sets on an extension where Bear Valley is working at training preachers is getting closer. Think about it.
