OPERATING REPORT FOR THE MONTHOF SEPTEMBER 2021
There weren't many activities in the month of September 2021. With our students still on holidays, we had some few days off classroom activities to redirect our focus fully on administrative activities and that of the school farm and other things.
SCHOOL FARM
Visitation was made by brother James B. Legend to Sanguli, a community under the Sanguli Tatale District to monitor the school's soybeans farm. They look very encouraging. We are hopeful that, by the grace of God, all the natural conditions should continue to favor them. We believe we will have a very good harvest. We praise God for blessing the land where these crops are cultivated.
This year, many people are lamenting for farming soya beans, due to the rain pattern. We thank God that He guided us and also helped us in all our decision making concerning the farm at Sanguli.
MECHANIZED WELL
The wiring system of the mechanized well had some problems and we had to rewire it. The wires that were buried were not properly done. This created some damages on some parts of it. So, we had to rewire it all together to have it properly done. Glory to God, it was successfully done in the month of September.
STAFF MEETING
Team work is very necessary for any serious institution like Bear Valley Institute of Biblical Studies to progress and succeed. Based on that, we saw it important to have regular meetings to deliberate over relevant issues that need much attention. We had a meeting on the 20th of September, 2021. Participants were Daniel Adjei Mensah (The Director), Albert Tamanja Malir and James B. Legend. Evangelistic campaigns with the students were one of the major issues that we looked at. The location and the appropriate date were discussed. We settled on Sogon which is around Chamba. Brother Albert Tamanja was suggested to go and survey the area well, which he went and did. We will be going to Sogon in November for an evangelistic Campaign. We also had discussion on the school farms. It was realized that there is encouragement for the soya beans, and not so good news for the maize farm. In the meeting, we were optimistic that we weren’t going to run at a loss based on the performance of the soya beans.
PERSONALITY PROFILE
Mabi Alex is a 25 years old young man who graduated from Bear Valley Institute of Biblical Studies (Tamale). He graduated on the 28th of January, 2021. He was in the 2019/2021 batch of students.
Brother Alex was born in 1996 by Mabi Doo and Mapal Magutal in Tatale in the Sanguli Tatale District of Ghana. He was baptized into the Church in September 2010. Nine years later after his baptism, he saw the need to attend the Bible College to come and help the Sanguli and Nkpani congregations which both had no preachers. Haven had financial challenges with his circular education, he took the opportunity to join the Bear Valley Tamale campus. He graduated successfully with a Diploma Certificate. Alex was one of the most respectful students in the 2019, 2020 batch.
While in the Bible college, he consistently persuaded his mother and with the help of some of the instructors that consistently visited the Sanguli congregation and added their voice, his mother got baptized in May 2020. Glory to God. His father however is still yet to obey the gospel.
Since his graduation, he has been working with the Sanguli and Nkpani congregation till date. He has been an instrumental figure in the school getting land to farm the soya beans this year. We praise the Lord for the life of this young preacher of God’s Kingdom.
We give God the glory for the grace He continually pours upon us as we progress as an Institution and the Church as well in Northern Ghana.
Thank you,
Bear Valley, Tamale
