BEAR VALLEY BIBLE INSTITUTE KENEMA SIERRA LEONE
OPERATION REPORT FOR JANUARY 2020
January is beginning month of every year was peaceful with Bear Valley Bible Institute. Firstly we thank God for seeing us through 2019. We are so grateful for His guardians and good health he extended to all of us. God is so good. We are looking at 2020 to be a year of changes in terms of achievement and progress in general.
CLASS ROOM ACTIVITIES
We received 14 students at the beginning of January, along the course, one student fall sick and he was admitted at the Government Hospital for a week. Management could not continue to keep him in the campus after he was discharge as his health issue became challenging to our budget. There was no alternative but to drop him off the academic batch.
The Institute is remaining with 13 students for the continuation of the academic year. In this quarter the following courses are on schedule with readily available lecturers. The following Brothers charge with the responsibilities to teach the following: The book of 1st & 2nd Thessalonians - Bro. Alfred Koyama; The book of 1st Corinthians – Bro. Joseph G. Bassie; The Book of Galatians – The book of Kings - Bro. A. B. Lansana
ACHIEVEMENTS
Friends our God still listen and hear our petitions every day. We have been praying specifically for two things to happen.
1. Replacement of our old generator in the school. Management has been battling with repairs of the old generator nearly every week. One unfortunate day it finally gives up and went into blaze. What brought the fire was unknown. We channel our problems to God Almighty for His provision of a better replacement. We went into hiring to keep the school in operation while we wait upon the Lord.
God accepted our request through USA Bear Valley Management who provided the funds needed to buy a Diesel type generator of 7KVA. The cost was $2,000 (Two Thousand United State Dollars).
2. Water was another essential need we have been praying for. Again God moves in a mysterious ways. Healing Hands International Inc. became our second need solving machinery through the effort of Brother Steven Ashcraft who became our advocator and forerunner for the provinsion of clean drinking water. We give thanks to Brother Joseph Smith of Healing Hands who is the Vice President of Operation, for his timely approval and making the funds available. The hand drill well will serve our school, the community and for the purpose of our upcoming Agriculture development.
The drilling has commenced and will be completed by early April 2020, the contractor told me.
Along the achievement we are proud to let you know that Solar system worth $450 has been installed in the school premises donated by two Christian Brothers. They ask that we should not mention their names out. May God continue to provide for them and their families; these are all good news for the hearing of many. The light problem in the compound has been totally put to rest. God is good.
EVANGELISM
Evangelism is our next face of challenges. Our hands are lifted up to God for us to get a breakthrough. In our prayers of agreement we know that our God will do it again as He has done for the Light and Water provision.
CHALLENGES
Challenges are everywhere and in every aspect of life we meet or come across challenges so it is with Bear Valley Bible school in Kenema. Basic commodities in the cost of living are a serious challenge to make ends meet. To sleep and wakeup in the morning is every living soul’s desires, surprisingly, the prices of basic commodities changes over night. The poor who are in the majority in Sierra Leone are left in the mercies of God Almighty. Let us pray for one another for the intervention of God for His people and above all for our donors at Bear Valley. With God all Things are possible.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, we remain pledging our commitment in doing what we are doing for the furtherance of the Gospel. We thank all those who are putting efforts in the building of God’s soldiers for His Kingdom. May they found favor in the sight of God for Christ sake…. Amen.
Keep us in your prayers and we always do for all.
Yours in Him
