GREETINGS
SCHOOL RESUMED
I am so very happy to inform you that our students returned in full after a very successful Christmas and New year vacation. I am saying successful because of the many good work they were able to do back home and the reports gotten from the churches they worked with. Most of the preachers from the congregations they worked with called back to thank the school for the level of training and maturity seen in their students send to the school and the great future they foresee in the students preachers..
VACATION REPORTS
Meanwhile, Since our returned from the year end vacation, everyone is in high spirit to play their own role very well. Students playing students roles very well , whiles the instructor are also playing their instructing roles very well . This is our final or last quarter for this batch of students and this quarter will be ending on the 26 of March 2021.
As part of our tradition, after vacation student are required to write on their vacations activities: where they spend it, what were they involved in doing, the results of their work and contacts of the preachers or church leaders they work with. Their reports are so interesting that we think you need to know. To summarized their vacation works and experiences, all of them were involved into preaching and teaching at their different congregations, and deeply involved into houses to house evangelism and personal work. This resulted in 18 baptisms from all of them and 43 person restored with two new congregation planted. After confirming these information by placing a phone called to their congregations, I am so proud of the practical work out of the classroom done by our students. Please pray that these men continue to grow in the work of our Lord.
ABOUT A STUDENT
Student Washington V. Johnson is one of our student whose story will move you emotionally. He was born into a very devoted Muslim family that had ever since disowned him as part of the family since he chose to become a Christian against his parents advise. The family have threaten to take his life if he ever go back home . He is a very young boy born on February 18,1999 in Bomi county republic of Liberia. His father being an Iman can never agreed for his son to take another path in religion, but Brother Washington chose to be a Christian against his father wish and this has and continued to cause him hate and threats from his family and the Muslim community he comes from.
Meanwhile, when I asked him where will he go after his graduation from the Bear Valley program, he said, he does not know, that he hope God will lead him as he has resolved to serve Him no matter what. He further said, His ambition is to understand the scripture well so that he can be the instrument God can used to convert or bring changes to the lives of his Muslim brothers and sisters as well his family and the Muslim communities.
He concluded by saying, I want to be the road model of Christianity to the Muslim communities in Bomi county as Paul was to the Gentles and his fellow Jewish people. He pleads for prayer for his parents to have a change of mind and help after school to start.
APPRECIATION AND CONCLUSION
We want to thank all of you so much for supporting the work in Liberia. Without you, this effort would not be possible. May God richly bless you.
In Him,
