Dear Brethren in Christ,
Greetings to you in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ our savior. Bear Valley school at Visakhapatnam continues to send Evangelists to the Rural, Urban and of course to the very remote places too.
We were certainly blessed to be able to go and visit the congregations they have established. Bathar is the remote village on the other side of the river that divides the states of Andhra Pradesh and Orrissa. We are certainly blessed to be able to go there, even though it was raining. We have scheduled to go to attend the inauguration of the church meeting place, where one of our graduates brother Narayana is working as minister. We walked for few miles to get to our destination and on the way we had to cross the river. It was very fast flowing. In fact, I slipped once and dropped my shoes, but thankfully one of the brothers caught it at the bank of the stream. The small house/church meeting place can hold up to 80 people since they sit on the floor in an organized fashion. We are thankful our Lord is leading them to reach into the very remotest areas with the good news and rescuing souls from eternal destruction. With this gathering we were able to have a good number of students enrolled in the preaching school. We started with 11 students, currently with the addition of two, we have total of 13 students. Please continue your prayers for us.
In Christ,
