Bear Valley Bible Institute
Ekwendeni - Malawi
May, 2020 Report
Introduction
As Christians, we are commanded to be subject to the government authorities Romans 13:1-3. However, the same people in authorities are breaking their own set of rules concerning the challenge of the pandemic. We were advised to suspend the schools, not to gather more than 10 people, but today the same people (politicians) are going round the country conducting meetings as they are campaigning for the presidential elections and we see on TVs thousands of people attending their meetings with no social distances observed. This habit of politicians including the government has brought in serious worries on school departments and now the government is being pressurized by the NGOs to resume both secular and Biblical schools by the 1st of June, 2020.
We the Christians, we are directed by the Bible to do what is right before the sight of God. Therefore, our duty still remains “Pray for Those in Authorities”.
EVANGELISM
The Lords Kingdom is growing daily despite the pandemic. As I said in the previous report, we are using IT ways to reach out to some souls like through Whatsapp platforms, and also I and the teachers we visit the congregations where some of our students comes from every Sunday and does some personal evangelism in the afternoons of every Sunday. This way has also help to hook some souls to Christ. This month we have witnessed 3 souls being saved as a result of this approach.
Teaching
We are still on suspension of classes for the school, but whenever the government orders schools to resume again, we will be ready for it. We understand that even the government can say a go to resuming classes, but still the threat of the pandemic will be there, therefore we shall always observe to social distances and do all the precautions given.
We are thankful to the Bear Valley Bible Institute International for your support. We really thank you for being with us in every situation even during this pandemic time as the source of funding has been challenged by shunning up of gathering of the Saints. But still, you send us support every month. It really gives us the heart to be grateful that we have such a supportive eldership of Bear Valley Church of Christ Denver! Eternity Is Forever, Think Souls!
Your fellow workers in Christ,
Ephron and Clergynton
