Bear Valley Bible Institute
Ekwendeni – Malawi
October, 2020 Report
Introduction
It is always great joy to be part of the team that wins souls to Christ. The government commanded the schools to be reopened on the 7th of September, 2020. So, we did reopen the following week after the 7th which was on the 14th. Since then, we have finished teaching 6 courses. We also had a preaching campaign at the end of the month of October to the beginning of November. God has brought into the Kingdom of His son many souls! This month of November our students will be gone for a rainy season holiday, to give them the opportunity to cultivate their subsistence farming fields.
Teaching and Preaching
The pandemic has brought in a big threat throughout the world, but the report of the souls saved during the holiday we had from March to August, 2020 is outstanding. We have just recently received reports from the 19 congregations where our students, individually, are coming from. After adding the totals of the souls saved during the pandemic holiday, the total number has reached 166 baptisms, and 26 souls restored! We, the teachers of BV Ekwendeni school were shocked when we received the reports, but this has encouraged us greatly that our students are really attending the school for the purpose of winning souls and becoming faithful servants of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Despite our program this year being distracted with the Covid – 19, but the teaching work has been well achieved. We wish we could do more, but we accept the challenge. We have managed to finish 11 courses this year. The courses completed are as follows; Acts, Writing skills, Scheme of Redemption, Godhead, Pentateuch 1, Isaiah, Person Evangelism, Church Planting and Development, Homiletics and the Gospel of John.
Practical work for the students within the school campus!
The students have shown great zeal! They have been preaching every Wednesday and on Saturday. Because of this effort, the Lord has saved 3 souls! We thank God that the reputation of the school is beyond Ekwendeni. We thank God that we have such hard working students. Keep praying for them and their families.
We are very grateful to the Bear Valley Bible Institute International for the support they are giving us, which makes this mission possible. We pray that God bless and be with all who support this great work. Eternity Is Forever, Think Souls!
Your fellow workers in Christ,
Ephron and Clergynton
