Each week moves the Denver campus closer to graduation next month. The seniors are excited about the possibilities waiting for them in the various areas of ministry ahead. All of these men and their families are prepared to enter the work and they will move to specific areas upon completing their courses this quarter. The exciting part of their ministry involves the locations they will serve from the West to the East Coast of the United States.
Reports from the extension schools this week also include a recent graduation in India, an incredible story of God’s providential working in Tanzania, souls reached with the gospel in West Africa, and a little bit of fumigating humor. Reading each report reveals additional layers of how God continues to bless the work and give the increase at every level of the program.
We have a few less reports this week, but the news packed into each one is worth the time to read. The development of preacher training at the Bear Valley Bible Institute grows and every day that passes opens new opportunities for growing the kingdom. Your attention to the needs that exist does not go unnoticed and it is appreciated.
We could not do this work without you. Thank you for making the Bear Valley Bible Institute part of your mission outreach in the Lord’s church. You are blessing in every area of the program.
Now on to this week’s incredible reports...
