Greetings
The Students and Staff of the Bear Valley Bible Institute - Liberia extension brings you greetings and hope that all is well with you in the name of our Lord Almighty. We remain grateful to Bear Valley Bible Institute Denver Colorado administration for their unflinching support and care for us as we take on the task of preparing men for the Lord’s works here in Liberia and the world at large. Below are activities for the Month of June 2024.
WEEK END HOUSE TO HOUSE EVANGELISM
Bro. Steven Ashcraft once told us in a meeting that it is better to close down any Bear Valley Extension if the school is not evangelistic. This statement served as caveat to us, thus getting us to put in more time for evangelism. As a requirement, this is one of the best things we came up with to keep our students busy in learning the practical works by being involve in the preaching field.
During the weekend, our students are usually required to visit any congregation of their choice to worship. During their visit, they are instructed to work with leaders of said congregation to do door knocking or visitations thus, reminding weak and delinquent members for service. And they submit the reports on Monday upon their returned. For the matter of fact, the June 2024 statistics of their weekend visitation indicates that talk to two hundred and forty-six (246) people. Out of which twenty-nine (29) were backsliders who were restored and Nine (9) received baptisms in the various congregations visited over the weekends.
Tent Making To Empower Potential Ministers For The
Lord’s Works (General Agriculture And Computer Science)
Students at the Bear Valley Institute - Liberia are not only limited to just Biblical studies the class room activities and evangelism campaigns, but we also offer them skills in general agriculture and Computer science with the anticipation that after graduation, our Students will have the basic technological concept as well as to face the modern age and be able to support their families through crops production, animals rearing and etc. These special programs are basically focused on the practical aspects of those courses than the theory.
We are happy that Bear Valley Bible Institute Administrators allow these special skills to be offered and our students are upgraded for their future ministry.

Gospel literatures / Tracts Received
On June 29, 2024 the Bear Valley Bible Institute - Liberia received 512 cartoons of tracts and Children Bible Class materials from Bro. Alfred Beyan the GSA Road Church Of Christ Minister, through Bro. Steven Ashcraft on behalf of Mission Printing. Those tracts are intended to boost the evangelistic efforts of the Country.
In an effort to make use of those materials, the Liberia evangelistic effort have taken the initiative to have them distributed to various congregations and evangelism teams of the Country. The Southeast Churches Of Chris Evangelistic Mission took the street On July 20, 2024 to carry on a massive tracts distributions in Pleebo City, Maryland County creating awareness and popularizing the Church.
At this juncture, we want to use this medium to appreciate and recognized the efforts of Mission Printing for taking the gospel out to the needed and defending the truth. Those tracts and many other Gospel materials received from you and other brethren are tremendously helping the evangelistic efforts here in Liberia and will carry us a long way in improving the works of God’s Kingdom in this part of Word.
Please keep us in your individual prayers as we take on the task of propagating the gospel.

We remain grateful for your love for God and your constant supports that have brought us this far, despite the challenges. To God be all the glory, praise and honor.
