Bear Valley Bible Training Center Moundou-Chad
Report of activities for the month of August 2023
May the peace and immense grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the source of our common joy, be upon you! We hope this report finds you in good health. Above all, receive our most sincere greetings, especially the greetings from the students, in the precious name of Jesus Christ!
You will find in a few words, what we can tell you about our activities during the month of August. We will tell you about the students' activities during vacation time, their return for the third term, and the actual start of the third term.
In fact, the vacation time lasted more than six weeks. This time allowed the students to rest, to do their family and business work, and to evangelize. Speaking of evangelism, during the entire vacation, the students presented the gospel to many people in their respective communities. Thus, we recorded five baptisms. We have some images but they are of poor quality. We glorify the name of God for these opportunities and ask you to join us in praying for the spiritual growth of these souls.
After the vacation time, our students returned to the center on the 26th and 27th of August. However, we regret to announce the loss of a student. The student, HAMSOU S. Gabriel, dropped out of the program. He is a soldier in the Chadian National Army who left military service to come to Bible school. Unfortunately, during this vacation time, he returned to the army. According to him, he was relentlessly harassed. We are praying for him, because with the information he has given me, he is continuing to preach the gospel to families around him. We pray that along-side him, we will succeed in establishing an assembly in his area in days to come.
Regarding the resumption of classes, they have once again been running effectively since the beginning of the new quarter on Monday August 28. The first week has just ended with the exam on the books of Job and Psalms. We say thank you to God for his support, as we pray for His grace for the rest of the term.
We would love to have the ability to give a copy of the Bible to each of our new converts and to have a few extra to use in our evangelization activities.
This was briefly, in a few words, the information concerning the activities of the Center for the month of August 2023. May God continually bless you in the name of Jesus Christ!
In Christ,
Your servant DATOUDJI
