Greetings from the Bear Valley Bible Institute of Gueckedou, Guinea.
Please receive our Activity report, June 2023.
Introduction:
Every day that God permits for us is an opportunity to do His work for the conversion of lost souls to Christ in His eternal kingdom. As we work with Bear Valley International, our strategic partner, it is our duty to report to here the result of all activities of the month as follows.
I-Teaching:
This activity consists of entrusting the word of God to students in the hope that they will be able to pass it on to others for their edification leading to salvation.
Indeed, 3 subjects were taught in June namely:
1-Homilitics 2 by Niouma 2 Kamano
2-Gospel according to John by Fara François Tenguiano
3- Books of the Major Prophets by Antoine Fassa Tolno
Due to their volume, 1/3 of the days in June were devoted to teaching the books of the major prophets.
Il-Evangelism:
Our primary objective is to redeem lost souls from Satan's yoke and to lead them to eternal freedom in Christ. In this spiritual battle during the month under review, 25 people were saved after being baptized in obedience to Christ our Lord and Savior in the congregations of Gbolonin, Yabema and Kendessoua.
Thanks to the Holy Spirit who helped to convince the sinners and to achieve these results.
III-Construction:
Two congregations have reached wall hight with their worship hall construction work and have received financial assistance for roofing. These are, Kendessoua and Kölöadou.
The rainy season which is now in full swing has slowed the work, but not stopped it.
IV-Black page:
We regret to announce the death of brother Antoine Tolno, one of our current students at the Bible Institute. He was born in 1985, a father of 2 children who fell sick and had left us on the 2nd of June 2023 to undergo treatment in his village. In less than 2 weeks later on the 11th of the same month, his family called to inform us of his death. Indeed, we have lost a brillant student. With the financial assistance of our coordinator Steven Ashcraft, the administrative staff, his fellow students and some church members travelled to Kolibada Tolo, his native village 35 km from Gueckedou town, for the funeral. Although he died young, we are happy that he was in the Lord which gives us hope that the soul of our brother will rest in peace. Amen
V-Documentation:
It is with great pleasure to inform you that we have safely received the study materials sent by French World Outreach /Barry Baggott, Mission Printing and other brothers in Christ residing in the US. We assure you that these documents will be put to good use for study, evangelism and edification. May God bless you abundantly in the Lord for all your efforts to build up the Church in Guinea.
Conclusion:
We bless God for His grace to give us life, health and to do his work.
Next, we sincerely thank Bear Valley International for their unceasing spiritual, moral, especially financial and material support in the growth of the Lord's Church in Gueckedou and elsewhere.
We especially thank our coordinator, Steven Ashcraft, for his sacrifice of time, materials and finances in God's work in Guinea.
We also thank Barry Baggott, Karen Ashcraft and other brothers in Christ who have sent us teaching, evangelism and edification materials.
In short, we thank all those who contribute to the flourishing of the church of Christ in Guinea.
May God bless each one according to his or her good works.
Amen.
