BEAR VALLEY BIBLE INSTITUTE – PAPAASE (KASOA, GHANA)
REVIEW FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER (OCTOBER TO DECEMBER) 2023
Starting with the review of the period stated above, I would like to quote from the prophet Isaiah, “O Lord, You are my God. I will exalt You, I will praise Your name, for You have done wonderful things. Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.” – Isa. 25:1. Despite the ups and downs of life, the Almighty God’s counsels and faithfulness had taken to the end of the year 2023.
Nevertheless, the review cannot be done without first of all expressing our gratitude to the Almighty God for His love and heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to brethren who had over the years continue sponsoring all Bear Valley Institutions throughout the entire world.
I. CHURCH PLANTED AND CHALLENGES
It is almost six months the school per supports from Bear Valley USA and Evangelical Team in Ghana put in place planted the Lord’s church at Mankomeba the next town after Papaase in the Central Region of Ghana. With this the school is much grateful to all personalities for making this possible.
So far four baptisms had been recorded. About seven members who were then worshipping at other towns had now placed their memberships with the Lord’s church at Mankomeba. On every Lord’s Day, some of our students do worship with the newly established church to strengthen her till she is able to stand her feet.
Nonetheless, the preacher in this newly established church needs financial support. He was before the establishing of the church, running his own work-shop of constructing iron gates and doors for houses. Of late, the work-shop is closed down temporally, as a result of the preacher preaching from house to houses in order to win souls into the kingdom.
II. CAMPAIGN FOR NEW STUDENTS
Last April, about six of our students graduated. As such campaign is ongoing for more students. Current population of students is eight (8). There is much hope that more students will be admitted. Two prospects had already submitted their admission forms.
III. DISTINGUISH STUDENTS
Brother Shadrack Essel is ongoing student at the Bear Valley Bible Institute, Papaase-Ghana. Shadrack is a Banker. He was baptized on 9th August, 2015. He is yet to marry. He is one of brilliant students.
I would like to recommend Brother Moses Addo, even though he graduated last April for wonderful he is contribution towards the spread of the Gospel of Christ. Through his own effort, he has established a “Local FM” where every dawn between the hours of 4:00 to 5:00am preaches the message of God.
