BVBI, NIGERIA-WARRI
MAIDEN REPORT, APRIL TO AUGUST, 2021
*OPENING*
All glory be given to our father the Almighty for His overwhelming grace and mercy. We also express our profound gratitude to Bear Valley Bible Institute International for the opportunity granted us to have a center in Warri, Delta State, Nigeria.
*COMMENCEMENT*
Our center commenced academic work in April 2021 with thirty (30) students. The venue for our lectures is the meeting place of the church at DSC Express Road, while the work is locally overseen by the Eldership of the Church at 6 Okoh Street, Iyara, Warri, Delta State, Nigeria.
*ABOUT OUR STUDENTS*
Our students are mostly preachers of local congregations who prior to this time, had no formal bible school training. It is therefore a thing of great joy and indeed a great privilege to them that they are taught the way of the Lord more accurately.
*ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES*
The following courses have been taken within the period of this report:
April, 2021 - Bible Origin
May, 2021 - Writing, Language and Research
June, 2021 - Old Testament Survey 1
July, 2021 - Christian Evidences
August, 2021 - Public Speaking
September, 2021 - Biblical Interpretation
*MATRICULATION CEREMONY*
A very colourful matriculation ceremony was organized and held on Saturday, 22nd May, 2021. Our workaholic and very amiable director of International Studies, Keith Kasarjian honoured us with his presence at the ceremony for which we are very grateful.
*THE NEED FOR A SECOND CENTER*
Whereas we started with thirty (30) students, we currently have thirty two (32) students. It therefore becomes imperative to have a second center for effective learning. We are currently working on the modalities for the second center.
*CLOSING*
At this juncture, we say a superlative "thank you" to all the sponsors of the Bear Valley project, without you, there would have been no us. God bless you all.
