OPERATING REPORT FOR JULY, 2022
We continue to give glory to God for the extraordinary blessings we enjoyed in the month of July, 2022. His blessing and grace upon us in Tamale Institute of Biblical studies is unmeasured. We praise Him also for all Bear Valley Schools across Africa and the World at large. We pray He continues to keep us all in peace and help do all things to promote him. Thank you Lord.
SECURITY DOGS
When Brother Steven visited Bear Valley Tamale campus, we came to an agreement to purchase two security dogs as safety, one of the safety measures for the protection of the campus. Funds were made available by Brother Steven to get them purchased. They are doing very well.
EVANGELISM AND CAMPAIGNS
The visit of our daddy, brother and good friend Steven as reported in the month of June stirred us up in the right direction as initiatives that have the potential to help us position the church and school in the right across the breath and length of Northern Ghana and Ghana as a whole possibly. As reported last month, Evangelistic Teams establishments were proposed by Brother Steven and were strongly accepted by all and one was instituted in the month of June in the Zabzugu area. Another was successfully instituted in the Bawku area in the month of July. These Teams have all scheduled to go strengthen one congregation each in their areas in the month of August. We pray the good Lord encourage and strengthen these men who have made this strong decision to work for the Lord and make an impact for the Lord’s Church. Brother James was delegated to go and help form the Team.
VISIT BY COORDINATOR AND JOSEPH
We were privileged to have Brother Steven in the month of June to empower us as well as Brother Kojo (the Coordinator) in the month of July for similar purposes respectively. These men make a lot of good additions to the school in Tamale anytime we have them with us. Brother Kojo’s coming was very fruitful also, as he taught the course of Preacher and His work, and also counseled us on many things. He spoke to us on keeping the environment clean, the best way to raise the security dogs that we purchased for the school, proper running of the school administratively, as well as working hard to grow the church in Kpalsi South. He also had time with the church as he taught in our Wednesday Bible class on “Some Ways to become a good Christian.” We pray the good Lord bless you people for your strong concern for the school, the Kpalsi South Congregation and God’s Kingdom. We appreciate your efforts.
Brother Joseph Traugott who is in Gushegu visited us in Tamale in the month July, 2022. According to him, he came to Tamale to visit his wife, who happens to be worshipping with the Tamale East Congregation and took the opportunity to come and see where the school is. We had a very warm discussion, and he invited us to also try to visit him at Gushegu. We praise God for his life.
ACADEMIC WORK
In the month of July, we had three courses taught to the glory of God. This current batch is almost done with their time for the Diploma course they are embarking on. The Book of Revelation was taught in the month of July by Brother Albert Tamanja, Christian Leadership by Brother James Legend and Preacher and his Work by Brother Kojo respectively. After these courses, the students went for a break to attend to their congregations and family issues and come back for their term. We are scheduled to have an evangelistic campaign when they are back for their last term as well as a three days seminar that brings together past students and preachers as well church leadership in the Northern sector.
KPALSI SOUTH CONGREGATION
We continue to grow gradually spiritually, numerically and physically. In the month of July 2022, one additional soul was added to the church to the glory of God. Praise God. We thank the Lord for the lives of all who are helping us in areas to become good servants of our Lord Jesus Christ.
