Summer break for the students in Denver will soon end. As they return to Denver, they will be joined by a new class of students preparing to begin their journey through the program at Bear Valley. Several of these students are in the process of moving to Denver now to find a place to live and rest for a few days before their studies begin. The two years ahead of them will be one of intense study, both in and out of the classroom. Presently, we are looking at fifteen students, and potentially a few more in the new class. Please pray for those who are finishing last minute details to begin July 31st.
As the list of reports indicates below, this was a busy week in the program. The reports below, although there are many, each indicate the powerful hand of God at work. Several locations share news of students returning from campaigns and personal evangelistic work. The outreach results are nothing short of wonderful. News about the number of souls added to the kingdom and those restored to the family is encouraging.
Please continue praying for the work as current schools continue to grow and reach out with the message of Jesus. Pray about the beginning of new schools in several locations. We look forward to sharing news about these schools as they begin classes in the months ahead. We also ask you to pray about the future of this program as potential locations are considered for the establishment of new schools.
God continues to bless this work and we ask you to share the report with others who will be encouraged by the development of this program.
Now on to this week’s incredible reports...
