The new year of training preachers internationally is set to begin and a preliminary look at the future is exciting. As we enter into the new year, we are moving forward with a new look and a new name. We are now known as the Bear Valley Bible Institute International. While this is only a slight change, it is one we believe speaks to the global nature of the work we are involved with in training preachers, both in Denver and around the world. Please visit our website at wetrainpreachers.com to see the new look. We are a global work for a global mission.
A few of the exciting plans for the new year include: 1) a new class of students preparing for their two journey at the Denver campus of the Bear Valley Bible Institute, beginning with orientation January 9th, 2) we launch the largest expansion plan in Bear Valley’s history, 3) a new school is set to open in French-speaking Cameroon the first week of April, and 4) an additional five areas are potential locations for new schools in 2015.
These are only a few of the exciting areas planned for the new year. We eagerly anticipate the ways God will bless our efforts, as He has abundantly done so in the past. We also look forward to working together with you and the greatest people on earth who love the truth of God’s word, His church, and the lost of the world. The passion for fulfilling God’s mission is the driving force behind all that we do together.
