Hello brethren.
Hope you all are doing well. Here is the report of activity for the month of March 2023.
Introduction
Every day that God makes is an opportune day for us to do His work. We are sharing with you what has occupied us during the 31 days of March 2023 in the vast field of the Lord. The activities took place as follows:
I - Teaching
In this month of March 2023, the Bear Valley Bible Institute of Gueckedou, Guinea taught 3 lessons to edify the students, so that they are able to function in the required capacity of evangelistic mission for the salvation of the world.
The lessons taught were the following:
1- 1 Corinthians by Antoine Fassa TOLNO
2- The Gospel according to Mark by Niouma 2 KAMANO
3 - The Poetic books by Balla KAMANO
Il - Evangelistic campaign
To put into practice the biblical theories learned in class, we started the evangelistic campaign on March 28, 2023 which should extend until April 5, 2023. We have video projections in the evenings followed by preaching the following day.
The days are being dedicated to a door to door evangelism and with the support of the Holy Spirit of God, a total of 14 people thus far have obeyed the gospel having been baptized for the forgiveness of their sins.
III- Construction .
Before the heavy rains started, five local congregations seize the opportunity offered and started to build their worship halls. But due to some difficulties, only one congregation among 5, the assembly at Fouedou was able to reach the level of roofing in March to benefit the required assistance.
IV- Black page
The experience of life shows that there is not only happiness or good things and events that happen, but that man some times expect the undesired surprise. Job had answered his wife by the question "...Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?" - Job 2:10.
Indeed if last month, February 2023 left us with a smile and gladness in our hearts, then the month of March 2023 surprised us with sad news that brought down our joy.
Firstly, on March 01, 2023 we learned of the death of brother, Emmanuel Foko who was the Assistant Director of Sunset Bible lnstitute in Koindou, Sierra Leone.
Secondly on March 03, 2023 we were shocked by the cruel death of Tamba Emmanuel KAMANO in Gueckedou, Guinea.
He was an instructor at Bear Valley Bible Institute in Gueckedou, Guinea
Subsequently, Abel Lelano, one of the graduates of the 2nd class, was severely hit by a vehicle. He was in coma for 7 days in the hospital at Gueckedou before he was evacuated to a special hospital in Zao, N'Zerekore. We thank God for his case, because he is recovering little by little.
V- Suggestions and recommendation
We want to take advantage of this report to ask all people of good will to take a positive look for possible support at the Bear Valley Bible Institute in Gueckedou. The reason is that we are in a favorable area for the gospel of the Lord.
We ask all the brothers and the sisters to pray for brother Abel Lelano who is till sick.
Conclusion.
In the image of all that precedes, we thank God for having kept us alive to do his work.
We thank Bear Valley International in general for their incessant spiritual, moral, financial and material support and in particular we thank our tireless coordinator Steven Ashcraft for the strategic management of the school.
We also thank the one who is financially assisting the construction of the houses of worship in Gueckedou.
Finally, we thank all those who contribute in any way to the development of the Lord's church in Guinea.
May God render to each one according to his works.
Amen.
Niouma 2 Kamano
