BEAR VALLEY BIBLE SCHOOL
CAPE COAST, Ghana
REPORT FOR SECOND QUARTER OF THE YEAR JUNE 2023
PREAMBLE
The second of the year has been a great one. The school in Cape Coast has continued to make tremendous progress as student commitment and enthusiasm has increased. In a bid to ensuring that adequate understanding of the courses are obtained, we have intentionally committed ourselves to spending extra hours with our lecturers when they come in. Classes keep getting exciting and we thank God for making such a wonderful progress.
OVERVIEW
The school in Cape Coast has gained a lot of grounds in just over a year since the school started. We now have about five lecturers joining our ranks to do a comprehensive tutoring of sound Christian doctrine. Students are always excited to report for the weekend lectures as it gives them a lot to ponder on during the week. Each new course gives us a new discovery of very sound Christian doctrine as we delve into the secrets of the bibles. One of our students, who is a qualified sign language tutor has also arranged with the students to spend an additional hour after the Saturday lectures so that he help the would be evangelists to acquire the arts and science of the sign language. Currently about 21 students are actively learning this new language as they stand a good chance of communicating with the deaf world that may come into contact with. It is really an exciting addition to our programme as it is also patronized by the host church.
SUPPLY OF RESOURCES
During the quarter under review, the school did not receive any learning resource or material from our Coordinators. Though enough learning resources has been supplied in the past, the new students who joined us at the beginning of the year did not get some. They keep asking and making references to that of their colleagues and as such, I would greatly recommend that whenever materials of any nature are available, the Cape Coast study center should be considered in the distributions. Supply of the Preachers’ Box and the brown leathered Bible should always be available as students have become more accustomed to their use.
COURSES
As at the end of the second quarter of the year 2023, we have successfully completed the following courses: PERSONAL EVANGELISM 2, HOMILETICS 2, MARRIAGE AND FAMILY.We hope to continue with studies in: HEBREWS AND TITUS
REPORT ON EVANGELISM
Our evangelism programme successfully took place in the last week of April. Students embarked on HOUSE TO HOUSE programme of which the evening also featured an outdoor broadcast service. Students greatly participated in this programme. The host church also played a great role in terms of participation and also helping to mobilize the necessary resources for this campaign.
Topics treated during the evening broadcast are:
DIFFERENCES IN THE TESTAMENTS
WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED
THE CHURCH IN THE BIBLE
THE WORSHIP OF THE EARLY CHRISTIANS
HOW WILL THE JUDGEMENT OF GOD BE LIKE?
PROJECTIONS FOR NEXT QUARTER
As a school we have strategized and agreed on some evangelistic missions in the next quarter. The next plan will be to go into a rural community where the churches established there are no longer functioning. We have tasked ourselves to take care of such churches when it is established so that we can nurture its growth into a matured community of believers. Besides the financial resources that have been made available by our benefactors, we also hope material resources (bible tracts, etc) for such exercises will be made available when the time comes.
