BEAR VALLEY BIBLE INSTITUTE, TAMALE
TAMALE, GHANA.
REPORT FOR NOVEMBER 2020
We thank God for taking us through the month of November successfully. We shall forever pay our allegiance to Him and Him alone. We also express our heartfelt gratitude for your prayer and support which has enabled us to work in the Lord’s vineyard with you.
STUDENTS BACK TO SCHOOL
The students have come back from break to complete the remaining courses that will let them finish the two year program after which they can graduate. Thirteen students have successfully completed and are waiting to be graduated next year God’s willing.
CLASSES
The remaining courses were given fair treatment by teachers assigned with students, class works and exams were also conducted. The book of revelation was taught by brother James Legend Bisong; Christian Ethics by Brother Daniel Adjei Mensah, Inter-Testamental period by Brother Kojo Acquah Beenyi and Counseling by Daniel Adjei Mensah. All the students score sheets and transcripts have been worked on and would be sent to Bear Valley for them to use to prepare certificates for those who qualify for diploma.
ADMINISTRATION
The staff has done its best to administratively run the activities of the school smoothly. As we gear towards the end of the year our main concern is how to get new students. We have already started campaigning for them. Wednesday, 16th of December 2020 is the date we have fixed to interview those we have been able to reach on phone. Those we have not been able to reach on phone we shall find another means to get them so that we can interview them at a later date. We have also talked with the various leaders at Sabunjinda and some nearby communities where we will be going for evangelism in January 2021. We think from Sabunjinda down to Bimbilla will be a fertile ground for evangelism. We can plant new churches and also revive and strengthen old churches in the area.
RENOVATION: Since the construction of the school building for several years now, there has not been any major renovation work on it. The doors and windows nets have all been destroyed. Parts of the ceilings also have been worn out. All the paint has faded. The fence wall needs plastering. As a result, major renovation work has begun. The nets and ceilings have been fixed and plastering of the fence wall has started. We are yet to begin with the painting of the building. We pray that the Lord will help us to complete all the work.
KPALSI CHURCH: We have started working on the church land to put up a small building for the local congregation in Kpalsi to start worshipping in their own building. Blocks have been made and foundation work has started. In addition, one soul have been baptized in the month of November and added to the church.
DOCUMENTS ON SCHOOL LAND AND SITE FOR WORSHIP: Coordinator Kojo was here in October to teach, and we made move to the Lands Commission to make a follow up on our documents. Further follow ups have been done and an individual have been assigned by the authorities to work on our documents and get them completed for us. We are optimistic of getting them as soon as possible.
FUNERALS: The former Director (Joseph Okyere Kwame Baah) of the school passed on on the 21st of September this year and a delegation was sent to represent the school and the local church during his funeral on the 7th of November 2020. Brother Adjei Mensah, current director, Brother Thomas Donzie, secretary to the Governing Board, and Brother James Legend, Instructor and staff of the school made up the delegation. Brothers Albert Malir and George Asante also made it to the late preacher Lot Kwame’s final funeral rite. He was one of the second batch past students. They used the opportunity to campaign for students and also inform the participants about the EXPASION OF BOARD MEMBERS AND INCLUSION of all catchment areas in the three regions and the idea was admitted as good news.
Thank you.
From: Daniel Adjei Mensah (Director)
