CAMPAIGN REPORT
On the 23rd of September, 2019, a combined team of students made up of Bear Valley, Accra, and Bear Valley, Tamale, under the leadership of lecturers from these two institutions, Brothers Samuel Ntim of Accra and James Legend of Tamale, embarked on a one week long evangelism programme in the Nanumba district of Bimbilla in the Northern Region of Ghana.
Word of Exhortation
Word of exhortation was delivered by our coordinator, Kojo Acquah Beenyi on the day of our departure, he created the awareness that we were engaging ourselves in an invisible war and that we needed to pray fervently and be watchful. Besides, we were going to preach to unbelievers and therefore we needed to set a higher standard indicative of proper Christian and live a life worthy of emulation to those who might decide to follow Christ. It was a solemn moment. We were strengthened with his words of exhortation from Philippians 4:8. We promised to live by these words.
The Teams
The campaign team of 29 students and 2 Instructors was divided into two groups with both contingents leaving the premises of Bear Valley Bible Institute, Tamale at 6:05am to Bincheratanga.
In the first three days of evangelical work at Bincherantanga, a total number of 32 souls were won over to Christ, whiles fifteen (15) were males and seventeen (17) were females.
Journey to Juanayili
We planted two (2) congregations at Juanayili and Binalondo. We did three days of evangelistic works at Juanayili (Sept 26 to 28) and it resulted in 75 baptisms. At Binalondo, a total of nineteen (19) souls were baptized with two (2) restored to the fold. In all, the total souls won for Christ were 130, 128 baptisms and 2 restorations. Restoring the congregation at Bincheratanga and planting two (2) new congregations at Juanayili and Binalondo.
RESPONSIBILITY
It was a joy to see people passionately come to Christ in their numbers. This also places a great deal of responsibility on us individually and collectively as a School. Much visitation and monitoring will be needed to help strengthen these congregations to be what they should be. We wish to appeal to the School and all who are privileged to read this report to in any way they can help support us visit these congregations consistently.
Once again many regards to God and you for the assistance we get from you to ease the work we are assign to do. May the good Lord bless us all!
