REPORT OF THE BEAR VALLEY BIBLE INSTITUTE – LAGOS ISLAND CENTER, March - April 2020.
INTRODUCTION: Our God is faithful and the only one that has sustained us till date. The pandemic called COVID 19 cut the world unaware including Nigeria. Our program is not unaffected with the government planned remedy. Our program was closed on the March 30th when Nigerian government gave an order of no movement.
ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES: We were blessed that Bro Frank Ekpodikpo who started Old Testament 2 (Study of the History: Joshua - Esther) was able to finish his class and conduced an exam before the unplanned break started. The break has taken majorly the month of April.
Looking at the new information and plan from the Nigerian government, activities will gradually be restored from the 4th of May. Join us in praying that there will be no reason for lucking down Lagos State again. We intend to resume class in the 9th of May and Bro Oluwafemi Adewuyi will be taking the Book of James in our center.
WBS ONLINE STUDY HELPER: I want to thank God for the grace given me to use this lockdown period to the glory of His name. I was able to grow my WBS Online Students from 1,254 in February ending to 1,716 as of the 1st of May 2020. Knowing that many people are at home, it is a good time to reach out with the gospel from the comfort of my room. 4 prospects are under serious follow up presently as they have indicated interest to obey the gospel. Two are from South Africa and the other two are from Nigeria.
CONCLUSION: Let us continue to pray for one another in this work so this challenging time will become history. Thanks to all who are assisting us here to do the work of the Lord.
Thanks and God bless you.
