I am excited to present the quarterly report from Benin Schools, for the second quarter of the year 2023. The quarter is blessed with many spiritual and academic exercises that have inspired the students and the instructors and have ignited the fire in the churches in Benin City and its environs towards evangelizing the lost world.
We have successfully studied Homiletics, the Life of Christ and Research Methodology for the quarter. The instructors, Brothers Andrew Osato, Enne Everest and Dunia Christopher are dedicated to the business of impacting the students with the requisite knowledge to the standard of the international schools.These three courses are viewed by the students as the nucleus of their studies. Research method exposes the students to better methods of gathering, storing and disseminating data in regards to glorify Christ and his Church. The Life of Christ has helped to broaden the horizon of the students exposing them to things they never knew before and Homiletics has helped in turning around the pulpit the right side up in all the congregation where their members are our students.I have receive calls from some congregations appreciating Bear Valley Bible Institute for the great job.
On April 29th 2023, the instructors and the students stormed the church of Christ, Iguosa on a one day crusade for Christ from 8am till 4pm. We had between thirty-eight and forty-two attendees from the two schools including the three instructors on a hired Bus. Although no baptisms were recorded on this day, we gathered that the congregation received lots of visitors the following Sunday and the membership are following up with visitors.
On May 19th 2023, we were elated to have an August visitor in the person of our amiable international director, Brother Keith Kasarjian. Brother Keith’s visit was timely as he took time to orientate all the students, who had wrong concept of the modus operandi of the school mission and vision. He encouraged all present to be hard working because it pays in the long run. On Sunday the 20th of May, Brother Keith taught the Sunday school and placed the entire congregation in the right frame of mind to be joyous as Christians in the midst of a decayed world in its facets taking his text from the book of Philippians 4. God bless brother keith for all the sacrifices. On his way from Warri, Delta State to Benin City, he was held in traffic jam for about four hours in hunger and thirst. May his labour in the Lord not be in vain in Jesus Christ. God bless the entire Bear Valley family. We appreciate your support.
Yours in Christ,
Dunia Christopher For Bear Valley Bible Institute,Benin City, Nigeria.
