Doing good in Malawi

Bear Valley Bible Institute

Ekwendeni – Malawi

March Report – 2023

Introduction

March has ended with both good and sad news! But if we summarize all, the name of the Lord is always PRAISED! March took us to the end of the second month since we started our classes this year of 2023. Many things have been accomplished such that 6 courses have been finished. We have received news from some of our former students that 13 souls have been added to the church and also 13 more souls restored.

The sad news is about deaths; we have had heavy rains in different districts of the southern part of Malawi where 10 districts were affected with the floods. Two of our students are from the south and one has lost his biological brother and the other one lost his father. It is sad news! Below is the detailed report.

Teaching

As we are in the middle of our classes, a lot of work has already been done. We have had short course teachers who come to help us and with our full time teachers six courses have been accomplished in just a period of 2 month.  Now the Pentateuch II is in progress. We are thankful for the zeal of the teachers who are committed to doing this noble work of training men to be faithful preachers of the true gospel of Christ – 2 Timothy 2:2.

Cyclone

We have had heavy rains in some of the 10 districts of Malawi in the southern region of our country. These rains were due to the so-called “Cyclone Freddy”. This caused rivers to flood, houses destroyed, people and animals killed and crops being taken away leaving people with no hope for food and shelter. The very sad news is the loss of lives! Lot of brothers and sisters in Christ are also homeless and grieving for their loved ones who died and some still missing up to date. We have our 2 students who lost their relatives. One lost his brother and another lost his father. But looking to who sends the rains, we always say PRAISE GOD! We cannot blame God for the rains. We have a saying "Whatever comes from heaven has no case to answer”! We thank God in everything.

Good News!

As it is always good to share the good news, we have had reports from some of our former students who like to share with us the reports of the work they are doing. This time we had reports from 4 of them. Brother Shadreck from Pharombe reported that 1 souls saved and 2 more souls restored; Brother Mateyo from Kasungu reported that 2 souls saved and 7 more restored; Brother Takesure reported that 8 souls saved and 4 more restored and also Brother Saliwa reported 2 souls saved! Which means 13 souls in total have been baptized and 13 souls restored! Keep the newborn babies in Christ in your daily prayers that they grow.

We are thankful to BVBI International and the Hillcrest brethren for their continued support! God bless you all!

Your fellow workers for Christ;

Ephron and Clergynton

Graduation upcoming in Port Harcourt

FIRST QUARTER 2023 PROGRESS REPORT FROM BEAR VALLEY BIBLE INSTITUTE RIVERS STATE NIGERIA, WEST AFRICA 

2023 is a remarkable year for us at Bear Valley Bible Institute in Rivers State Nigeria. We are preparing for the graduation of 35 students from our two centers in July 29th, 2023. The graduation ceremony is going to be our first graduation ceremony and so, we are working hard to make the event great and successful.

ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS AND ADMISSIONS OF NEW STUDENTS AT OUR TWO CENTERS

On January 2023, we began the entrance examinations and new admissions process into our two study centers.  We conducted the entrance examinations in three locations with the hope to begin a third center in Rivers state. On February 2023, we admitted 11 new students in Port Harcourt center and 9 new students in Ahoada center. We got 16 prospective students at a new location which is far away from the locations of the existing two centers.  We are requesting for the approval of the third center in Rivers State to enable more people to be trained in the school.

FOUR WEEKS PRACTICAL FIELD WORK BY THE OUTGOING STUDENTS

At the end of January 2023, we concluded the last course with the outgoing students and on the second week of February 2023, we sent them out for the 4 weeks practical field work while the lectures continues   with the remaining students and the newly admitted students in our two centers.

As at the time of writing this report, we are still gathering the field work reports from our students that went to various congregations within and outside Rivers state for the field work. Nevertheless, we had gotten the report that our students had recorded 9 baptisms and 5 restorations. Two of our outgoing students had received employments letters to work with two congregations in Rivers state Nigeria and some other outgoing students had received invitations for interview in some congregations within and outside the State. We are happy that the students we trained are being accepted everywhere they go. We are also happy that we have not heard of any misconducts of any kind from the students we trained. We give God all the glory and we appreciate Bear Valley Bible Institute International for the great support.

Mourning losses in Guinea

Hello brethren.

Hope you all are doing well. Here is the report of activity for the month of March 2023.

Introduction

Every day that God makes is an opportune day for us to do His work. We are sharing with you what has occupied us during the 31 days of March 2023 in the vast field of the Lord. The activities took place as follows:

I - Teaching

In this month of March 2023, the Bear Valley Bible Institute of Gueckedou, Guinea taught 3 lessons to edify the students, so that they are able to function in the required capacity of evangelistic mission for the salvation of the world.

The lessons taught were the following:

1-  1 Corinthians by Antoine Fassa TOLNO

2- The Gospel according to Mark by Niouma 2 KAMANO

3 - The Poetic books by Balla KAMANO

Il - Evangelistic campaign

To put into practice the biblical theories learned in class, we started the evangelistic campaign on March 28, 2023 which should extend until April 5, 2023. We have video projections in the evenings followed by preaching the following day.

The days are being dedicated to a door to door evangelism and with the support of the Holy Spirit of God, a total of 14 people thus far have obeyed the gospel having been baptized for the forgiveness of their sins.

III- Construction .

Before the heavy rains started, five local congregations seize the opportunity offered and started to build their worship halls. But due to some difficulties, only one congregation among 5, the assembly at Fouedou was able to reach the level of roofing in March to benefit the required assistance.

IV- Black page

The experience of life shows that there is not only happiness or good things and events that happen, but that man some times expect the undesired surprise. Job had answered his wife by the question "...Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?" - Job 2:10.

Indeed if last month, February 2023 left us with a smile and gladness in our hearts, then the month of March 2023 surprised us with sad news that brought down our joy.

Firstly, on March 01, 2023 we learned of the death of brother, Emmanuel Foko who was the Assistant Director of Sunset Bible lnstitute in Koindou, Sierra Leone.

Secondly on March 03, 2023 we were shocked by the cruel death of Tamba Emmanuel KAMANO in Gueckedou, Guinea.

He was an instructor at Bear Valley Bible Institute in Gueckedou, Guinea

Subsequently, Abel Lelano, one of the graduates of the 2nd class, was severely hit by a vehicle. He was in coma for 7 days in the hospital at Gueckedou before he was evacuated to a special hospital in Zao, N'Zerekore. We thank God for his case, because he is recovering little by little.

V- Suggestions and recommendation

We want  to take advantage of this report to ask all people of good will to take a positive look for possible support at the Bear Valley Bible Institute in Gueckedou. The reason is that we are in a favorable area for the gospel of the Lord.

We ask all the brothers and the sisters to pray for brother Abel Lelano who is till sick.

Conclusion.

In the image of all that precedes, we thank God for having kept us alive to do his work.

We thank Bear Valley International in general for their incessant spiritual, moral, financial and material support and in particular we thank our tireless coordinator Steven Ashcraft for the strategic management of the school.

We also thank the one who is financially assisting the construction of the houses of worship in Gueckedou.

Finally, we thank all those who contribute in any way to the development of the Lord's church in Guinea.

May God render to each one according to his works.

Amen.

Niouma 2 Kamano

Persisting through challenges

Happy Lord’s day brethren, I greet you all in Christ Jesus. I am so delighted with humility to report to you about Bear Valley Bible Institute here in Taraba State, Nigeria. The first quarter of this year was full of challenges. First of all was the naira crunch which affected our evangelism outings because it was almost impossible sometimes to access the bank notes for payment of transportation. There was also acute shortage premium motor spirit (PMS) which complicated issues. Notwithstanding, by God grace, we are able to scale through. Our classes were also distracted by election schedules but, we also rescheduled and also fixed classes on Fridays.

We began our second year in January with ten students in the classroom but ended up with 15 for the quarter. Brother A. Terkule JNR took the students on The Life of Christ (Mark) while brother Bala Egbwakoteh taught Wisdom Literature, 1st/2nd  Peter and the book of Jude.

During evangelism under the period review, 48 studies were conducted involving 89 persons, 12 studies were dropped and 36 are hopeful to be continued. We recorded one baptism. Our first campaign for Christ for this year is scheduled for April at Yola town. We are soliciting for your prayers as we are hoping to revive the church that meets at the army barracks. The church had internal conflict and the brethren scattered leaving only one family worshipping.

We have also received funds for this year budget and that of the first quarter has been expended. We are also in need of printed evangelism materials that we can handout to our prospects that can study on their own. We are also happy to inform you that our students teach and preach every Sunday in various congregations in and around Jalingo city.

Our plan for the second quarter is to start a congregation in Kusuwan-Ladi village where a brother just relocated for farming business. He has invited the school to come and help him work to establish a church there.

Thank you for the love you have for God and the work here in northern Nigeria.

Yours fellow servant,

Madaki I. Elkanah

A new school in the country of Chad

BEAR VALLEY BIBLE INSTITUTE MOUNDOU-CHAD

REPORT FOR THE MONTH OF MARCH 2023.

 Mr. Coordinator,

If we consider March 27 as the date of the start of the academic year, then our activities have lasted five weeks. If we consider March 13, the date of the new system, the start date, then we have totaled three weeks of lessons. 

 We can say this:

 OUR ACTIVITIES

1. The instructors have zeal for teaching.

2. The students participate well in class, despite the slowness of some who have been out of school for some time.

3. We had two, weekend evangelistic outings in the city. They were held on March 18thand March 25th. We were satisfied with the welcome given to our evangelization teams by the surrounding population.

We also had an out-of-town evangelism outing.  Four students participated in this outing from March 17 to 19, 2023. Two students joined the brothers of the church and went 87 km from Moundou. On this occasion, God added 10 souls to the church. Two others went to the village of one of our students. They went door to door. They had no baptisms but the gospel was presented by them.

HEALTH

Having changed environments and food systems, some students had health problems. These different cases of illness were managed by the center's pharmacy fund and by the service of one of our students, brother MIANHOUNOUM CLOTAIRE, who is a Technical Health Officer. We glorify God for that.

MY REMARKS

As for the starting of the school, we can say that everything is fine. Our first challenge is light. We believe that the central solar installation system can remedy the electricity problem.

May God bless you in Jesus Christ!

Your brother,

Datoudji

More conversions in Nigeria

Report of Bear Valley Bible Institute, Weekend School, Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria between January to March 2023.

May all glory, honour and Majesty be ascribed to our heavenly father for His loving-kindness towards us as a school. We thank our sponsors, the Bear Valley School, Denver Colorado, U.S.A, for their support since the commencement of Benin City School in Edo State, six months ago. We are grateful. May God Almighty continue to bless you all and greatly reward your labours in the kingdom of Christ.

Below is the summary of the activities of Benin City School from January to March 2023:

2. Hermeneutics 1 by   Eneh Everest

3. Scheme of redemption by Andrew Osatohamwen

Students were examined in the above courses and their performances were generally satisfactory.

Evangelism

The school went on evangelism in Ugbine village to strengthen the young congregation. We were forty-five in attendance including the three instructors. The preacher of the village church, Brother Festus Oghogho, is a student of BVBIN-Benin.

We also Evangelise the school neighbourhood with 50 students in attendance including the three instructors.

We are working on restoring the Church of Christ, University of Benin, Ekewan Campus. The last time the Church had her worship was four years ago. This was due to a lack of human resources. Benin school in collaboration with the Church of Christ, University of Benin, Ugbowo campus has started preaching in the area. Hopefully, the Church will resume its worship by April 2023.

Baptism 

We have had thirteen baptisms from January to March.

A new school doing well

BEAR VALLEY BIBLE INSTITUTE NIGERIA, OWERRI CENTER REPORT JAN-MARCH 2023

Bear valley Bible Institute, Owerri  Imo Itate was inaugurated on Saturday 1st of October 2022.

Classes began on 8th of October 2022 .

Following the inauguration of the school in october last year, we have been consistent in our efforts to maintain a high standard to make sure we produce disciplined and productive bible teachers. The new year started on a good note with two students that dropped coming back.

Unfortunately the current security situation in Imo state has forced us to have lessons sometimes weekdays and Sunday evenings depending on situation on ground. And the days we lost because of the general elections was regained by general consensus of the students. Even though the security situation is not really normal,  the students are dedicated and in high spirit.

Presently we have 16 students, even with the currency and petrol scarcity and high cost of transportation, they strive to attend lectures. So far we have taken 6 courses and the students are doing well.

EVANGELISM 

We discovered that there is so much disunity and lack of cooperation among preachers and congregations here. This arose from not having well trained teachers and leaders in Imo state. They do not come together for gospel meetings or evangelism, so I decided to visit from place to place and bring the preachers together in the name of the school.  I am glad to inform us that the first preachers bible summit to treat some doctrinal issues troubling them will be held by the school on the last Saturday of April 29th 2023.   This will be the first in the series of seminars, workshops, lectureships that we will embark on.

Due to the publicity the school has recieved,  we have brethren from some locations that are far from Owerri City requesting if arrangements can be made to come to their locations and give them lectures,  this I told them that I will get back to them, on this I suggest if I can get approval,  I can work it out the instructors while they all come to owerri during examination days. 

We still remain eternally grateful God, the parent body and the school authorities for giving us the privilege of having a study center in Owerri, Imo state. In over 45 years this is the first bible school in the state. The state is big and we will continue to create  awareness

 We believe and trust God to make a way for all who are interested but having distance as barrier to benefit from the school.  We reaffirm our promise to maintain a high standard  and surely we will make the school proud.

Yours because of Christ

NIGERIA BANKS RATION OLD NAIRA NOTES AS NAIRA CRISES BITES HARDER:

With the Naira scarcity still rocking the nation, Commercial Banks have begun to ration the disbursements of old N500 and N1,000 notes to their customers amid uncertainty over whether the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) will release the old currencies in its custody.

However, despite the CBN announcing the legal status of the old N500 and N1,000 currencies exactly ten days after the Supreme Court judgement mandated the use of old N500 and N1,000 currencies as legal tender till December 31, 2023 the naira scarcity still persists across the country, Nigeria.

According to findings, most of the banks were paying only N5,000 to each customers over the counters , while a few banks paid N10,000 only and only few banks loaded their ATMs and most of them were disbursing only N5,000.

Those of us that can't be on queue as early as 5:00am were forced to buy money from POS centers.

Prayers for Ukraine

Dear brothers and sisters, as well as congregations,

The war keeps destroying our cities, towns, villages and people's lives. But, on the other hand, it gives the Church an opportunity to come to the front in ministering to people. I wrote on many occasions that we were using this difficult time for humanitarian services and Gospel preaching. Hundreds of people get help and hear the preaching about Christ. Our time can be compared with the years of the Soviet Union's collapse when hungry and uncared for people used to come to the huge Palaces of Culture (Soviet community centers) with the desire to hear the  missionaries preaching the Gospel.

In my letter today I'd like to tell about the wonderful ministry started by our alumni Oleg Fofanov. Upon graduation he had preached in Konstantinivka. The church had been established there many years ago and he was happy to work there. When the full fledged war actions started he moved his family to the the Western Ukraine, to the city of Uzhgorod. It is the regional center and highly populated city close to the border with Slovakia. Last year they decided to establish a new congregation there and started assembling on Sundays. First, it had been a relatively small group of people, later many more relocated Christians joined them. We are very  saddened and keep praying for the church of Konstantinivka. Almost everyone from the church there left the city but now we have another opportunity to worship and minister in Uzhgorod.

Tragically, many Eastern cities (like Konstantinivka, Avdiivka, Bakchmut) are turning into piles of ashes daily. Before the war those places numbered the most congregations of the church of Christ. We trust God and His mercy only.

The Bila Tserkva Church of Christ.

We still distribute grocery and personal hygiene care packages. These days people come to the church building even on the days when there's no announced distribution. And some of them study the Bible with us more extensively. I'd like to ask for prayers for God's fruitfulness in Gospel preaching, that the planted seed would bring fruit.

The Bible Institute.

Last month our students had 1 and 2 Peter and Jude (Instructor Dennis Sopelnik), Hebrews (Albert Bagdasarian), Biblical Geography (Valentin Tsyopa). In the end of the month the students will have a week of evangelical practice. Usually students are taught to do street evangelism. We would place a table with Christian tracts and other literature, distribute the tracts and invitations to  the Sunday services. But during the last year our methods were changed. It got dangerous to be outside due to the missiles attacks and also because men could be given the drafting summon by the military recruitment department. One can end up being drafted even with zero military experience. So we moved all activities inside the walls of the church buildings. It seems to be safer.

We ask you to earnestly pray for the return of peace and end of the military activities. Many congregations were very generous with aids for refugees and people who found themselves homeless.

May God keep you,

Your brother,

Dennis Sopelnik

FEBRUARY 2023 OPERATING REPORT

February 2023 was a very active month for us in Bear Valley Institute of Biblical Studies, Tamale, both within the school and externally. Indeed, it is a month that must be accounted for.

KPALSI SOUTH CONGREGATION

We had one soul added to the Lord’s church in the Kpalsi South congregation to God’s glory. The church is growing gradually in all areas of it by the grace of God.

JOINT EVANGELISM TO UPPER WEST REGION BY TAMALE AND ACCRA SCHOOLS (LAWRA TANCHARA SUSU)

On the 30th of January, 2023; the Tamale Institute of Biblical Studies (TIBS) in Collaboration with the Southern Institute of Biblical Studies (SIBS), embarked on a one-week evangelistic campaign to Tanchara Susu under the Lawra district in the Upper West Region of Ghana. We left Tamale around 10:00am of the 30th of January, and arrived at Tanchara Susu around 9:30pm of same 30th. It was late for any activity to take place, so we rested.

Work started on the morning of the 31st. We started with morning devotion, breakfast, and then divided ourselves into groups and went out for the door to door studies. We return for lunch around 12pm and went back till around 4:45pm.

A movie on the passion of Christ was showed around 6:00pm to 8:00pm, followed by the public preaching. Preacher Thomas Donzie Preached on “sin and it’s punishment.”

We continued with same plan on the 1st of February, 2023 with Brother Ebenezer Amoasi giving the evening sermon on God’s Plan of Salvation. On the 2nd, same plan was followed with Brother John Acquah teaching on the Church in the evening public preaching. The same plan was followed on the 3rd with Brother Abraham Bambale speaking on Worship of the Church.  Brother Silas Adjei preached on the 4th of February, 2023 in the public preaching after the door to door studies in morning movie in the evening on God’s Judgement. All the brethren who spoke, we excellent on point and were clear with their messages. The programme was indeed great and profitable us who participated on it. We also had a good number of baptisms. Among these souls was youth dominance. We had young men who are capable of working for Lord if properly trained. We had two (2) baptisms on the first day, seven (7) on the second day, one (1) on the third day, 8 on the fourth day and 5 on the 5th day. This gave us a total number of 23 souls. Three (3) souls were also restored respectively. Worship on the first day of the week was a spirit filled one.

Brother Snell Kwesi Owusu Odame stayed backed to care for the congregation under our mission minded preachers plan. We thank God for the great grace released upon us all to fulfill His command given to us His followers in the gospels.

ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES

We returned back from Tanchara Susu to continue with our academic activities with the new batch of student smoothly. Upon returning, Brother Kojo Acquah Beenyi, the Coordinator, was already in to take the students through the Cost of Discipleship. Brother Albert Tamanja Malir took them through How We Got The Bible after Brother Kojo, followed by Personal Evangelism one by Brother James Forkuor, Scheme of Redemption by Director Adjei Mensah and Research and Writing by Brother James Bisong Legend. These courses, coupled with Hermeneutics one which was treated in the month of January were the courses taught in the first Quarter for this batch of students.  

COORDINATOR’S VISIT

Brother Kojo’s visit was very essential and fruitful as he taught the Course of Discipleship as well as dealt with other issues too. He had a meeting with the staff to encourage us and also discuss some of the pertinent issues necessary for the development of the school with us. As is his culture, he went round the whole compound and the garden to visit all the trees and flowers and also correct some wrongs around the compound. We were edified having him with us in the month of February.

 We thank the Lord for the month of February, 2023.

Thank you sirs,

Bear Valley, Tamale.

In February, our fifth quarter for the full-time students ended, souls were converted, the evangelistic teams continued their good work of evangelism, our coordinator, Steve Ashcraft visited and taught a class, and one of our committed and young staff, Emmanuel Focko became critically sick.  As we go further, please we employ you to keep on reading for the details of the above activities.

END OF FIFTH QUARTER

It continues to excite us as our students are doing well academically, evangelistically as well as morally. On the academic background, we are in our final year. The first quarter of the final year came to an end at the end of February. In that quarter, 8 courses were covered; these courses included: Life of Christ IV: The Gospel of John, Old Testament IV: Major Prophets, Church History, Pastoral Epistles, Historical Bible Geography, Intertestmental Period, Computer Studies V, and Basic English Grammar V.  All of these courses were handled by local teachers (5) and international or foreign teachers (2)

CONVERSION OF SOULS

The Gospel needs to be preached now more than ever as the world is turning into something else. Because of this need, the KBVBI were evangelistically engaged in the month of February. Therefore for the month of February, our evangelism resulted in 9 converts.

THE VISIT OF BROTHER STEVE ASHCRAFT

Just like Paul who could guide some local congregations when he was not present with them but through his writings and messages, our coordinator, Steve Ashcraft has been hugely involved in the work here. In fact he spends hours sometimes holding meetings with us online. So on the 7th February 2023, we were privileged once again to have him here in person.  He spent a week teaching the full time students Historical Bible Geography. This class was so educative, informative and transformative that some staff also attended. Brother Steve is so much appreciated for his encouragement and mastery of the subject matter.  He also met with the part-time students for the first time since their admission on January 15, 2022. He encouraged them to remain true and committed to their studies especially as the studies are meant to equip them to evangelize Sierra Leone. Brother Steve’s love and passion for evangelism is worth coveting and commending! If I look at his age (I am currently half of his age) and I see the zeal he portrays for evangelism, I am challenged and motivated to do more and to be more involved in the work of evangelism. During his time with us, we spent hours strategizing for effective evangelization of the entire Sierra Leone, apart from the effort of the school. We are very grateful for having such a coordinator who is not only concerned with administration but also evangelism. With him as our coordinator, I know through God’s help we will do a lot in the next few years as you shall be reading our reports. We are so deeply grateful to Bear Valley through Brother Keith for all they are doing for the lost souls here.  

EVANGELISTIC TEAMS EFFORTS

We have been informing you that through Brother Steve’s help and brilliant ideas,  evangelistic teams have been formed in various parts of Sierra Leone in order “to turn Sierra Leone upside down for the Lord.” Those teams have been working really hard as it is really a huge task to turn people to Christ in this Islamic-dominated territory. The targets of those teams are: to win more souls unto Christ, to establish and sustain at least 25 congregations this year, to restore dying congregations, to strengthen members in various congregations, to train church leaders to be effective in leading the newly established local congregations and the existing ones, to organize lectureships that will be aimed at teaching the members to grow in faith so that they can at all times contend earnestly for the faith as there are so much false teachings that have permeated our society. As the year unfolds, will be getting the exciting reports of this great evangelistic movement by the special grace of God. We appreciate all those that are supporting this evangelistic teams' vision and dream.

EMMANUEL FOCKO’S CRITICAL SICKNESS

In our June 2022 report, we gave a profile and the works of Emmanuel Focko vividly. He is one of our trusted and committed staff, one of the evangelistic team leaders, the preacher of the Lord’s Church at Weima which he established upon graduation, and an Alumni of KBVBI. Emmanuel had hepatitis B long ago but he never knew. So in late January, his stomach started projecting and his eyes were turning yellow. With these symptoms, he was taken to the hospital in early February. After conducting the tests, the doctor alerted us that Emmanuel has hepatitis B and Liver Cirrhosis, and that he be transferred to Freetown for better medication. Some brethren here contributed money and some of his family members assisted also. But there was still more need for more money to assist in his treatment. Fortunately Brother Steve was still here with us, so he assisted with some funds for his treatment.

CONCLUSION

We thank you so much for taking your time to read our report. Your prayers for the work here are so badly needed at this crucial time when many people do not care about God anymore. Thank you for your financial support also, for they are really acknowledged.

Bikkavolu, India school reaches out to their community

Dear Brethren in Christ,

Greetings from Bikkavolu Bible College. By the grace of God everything is going good with our school. As this quarter is coming to an end our students are getting ready for the exams, which are scheduled to be in the last week of this month.

We are getting ready for a one week short course to be taught by brother Mark Reynolds at Bikkavolu. We are hoping to join students from both the schools for this class. We are looking forward for brother Mark’s visit. Right now brother Irven Skinner from Duffee church of Christ, MS is visiting with us, he spent couple of day teaching Epistle to Titus to the students of the School.

We are happy to share some of the pictures showing our students in the outreach ministry. We are happy to see some of our students are very forward in using the every opportunity to build up a local congregation. Brother Syam, who will be graduating this July has begun working with a small group studying the word and conducting worship services. Last three pictures showing our faculty attending this gospel, meeting to strengthen brother Syam’s efforts in his home town. There are two more students that are working down this direction for which we feel very happy.

We are encouraging the students who are finishing the school to do this way, so that they would be ready to work in full capacity once they finish the school at Bikkavolu Bible College. We are hoping to have the first BBC lectureship in the month of July’23 during 5,6,7 and on the 7th we shall have the graduation ceremony. We are very excited about this.

We are so thankful to God for blessing our efforts in training men who are faithful and would be able to take/share the gospel with others. Establishing congregations is our ultimate goal by sending these faithful men in to the real world ministry.

 We are thankful to the brethren that are behind this wonderful Lord’s work. We thank so much for your prayers and support. God bless you all.

 In Christ,

 John Dean M

West Coast school conducts public gospel meeting in Ghana

1.     CLASSROOM WORK

The new students have settled and classes are still progressing smoothly. They are going through the first bunch of courses. They are really enjoying the school and their studies. 

The part-time students are currently in the 1st term of their 2nd year. Joshua Aidoo, Douglas Armah and Nathaniel Brobbey are the instructors teaching the part-time class currently. Bro Joshua Aidoo teaches on Fridays from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Brothers Douglas Armah and Nathaniel Brobbey also teach on Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. respectively.

2.     PERSONAL EVANGELISM AND BAPTISM

We have a clear understanding that the hope of the world is Christ and His church. We therefore train our students to always seek for opportunities to sow the seed of the word. The work of the Lord in the area of evangelism continued in the month of February. Public and private preaching of the gospel was done by our alumni and current students. For example, there was a 4-day campaign for Christ at Mpintsin church of Christ where Brother Joshua Aidoo preaches, and the school joined in this program. This time, the preaching was done in their worship auditorium but the public address system was mounted outside so that the message could go straight into the various homes. God blessed our efforts with some baptisms.

Thank you.

Souls are being saved in Guinea!

Introduction:

To you all, our supporters and those of you with interest to read and follow our updates, we send you warmest salutations in Christ's name. It is time once again for another monthly report of activities at the Gueckedou Bear Valley Bible Institute and we are glad to announce that since the beginning of the school in 2018, the month of February 2023, as you will see, has proven to be the most productive month in terms of conversions. We encourage you to keep reading as we unfold the various points of this report which you will certainly find interesting and pleasant.

I- Classroom/ Teaching :

In all Bear Valley Extension Schools across the world, certainly the major activity of every working day of the month in the classroom is devoted to teaching. Those working days of the month of February 2023 were no exception at the Gueckedou school. There were 4 different courses by 4 different instructors in accordance to the schedule and therefore executed as follows:

 1-Hermeneutics 2 by Antoine Fassa TOLNO 

 2- Acts of the Apostles, by Emmanuel KAMANO 

3 Gospel according to Mark, by Niouma 2 Kamano 

4 How we got the Bible? by Fara François Tenguiano.

Each instructor completed his course by especially a written evaluation and the students output was satisfactory. 

II- Evangelism:

If there is more joy in heaven for one sinner who has repented than for 99 righteous persons needing no repentance, then there was exceedingly greater joy in heaven for the month of February 2023. This is simply, but notably because the month of February has climbed to the top of all other months in terms of conversions since 2018 when the Gueckedou Bear Valley school started. There were in all 3 new congregations planted totaling 102 persons who heard and obeyed the gospel as a result of various efforts of the different evangelistic activities. The 3 new congregations were established in the villages of N'Wokouma,Yende-bawa and N'Diafassou each with her initial or first day's conversion figure of 15, 30 and 37 who decided to repent and accept Christ respectively. 

No doubt the above result is the fruit of God's support through the Holy Spirit, the technical planning, managerial and financial support of our tireless Coordinator, Steven Ashcraft. The planning included the combination of both the lnstitute's preaching efforts and that of one of the evangelical teams being set up in the country. 

III- Construction

 It is true that spiritually, the Church is an assembly of believers and not a building, but humanly, in the eyes of the world, the value of the Church is greatly associated in the quality of its place of worship. So having houses of worship has an impact on the lives of people like the apostle Thomas whose faith was based on sight. By this we wish to announce that the donors who finance the construction of worship halls which indeed is a paramount need are doing an excellent work for the progress of the Church in Gueckedou and in Guinea as a whole. For the month of February 2023, 3 Congregations (Dento, Fassaba and 

Ledoumboulo) have reached the roofing level and 3 others (Fouedou, Dakadou and Köloadou) have started with the foundation work.

 IV- Personal profile

We would like to introduce you to Saa Many Koundouno, a graduate of the 2nd class of the Bear Valley school in Gueckedou. Before his conversion, he had an advanced life in juvenile delinquency. But when the time was fulfilled, he obeyed the Gospel and immediately manifested the desire to probe the Scriptures. Thus he was admitted at the Institute in Gueckedou in 2020. One month before the end of his training, he asked to go and start his ministry in his native village in Koindou KLB (Kondou Lengobengou). It was then when the school evangelism campaign was invited so that the church was planted in his home town of Koindou KLB. Motivated and zealous, he continues to explore new places to plant congregations like the Yende Bawa congregation. Best of all in his efforts to improve his spiritual life, we are receiving a good testimony from the people in and outside the church. 

V- Other information

We wish to mention the visit of our Coordinator, Steven Ashcraft to Gueckedou during which period we had the opportunity to discuss about the perspectives of promoting the Lord's work in the next 10 years. Then, we planned evangelism activities and other things that can also contribute to the progress of the work in Guinea.

Conclusion

In view of all the above-mentioned success in our various activities, we first of all thank God for the good health and the Holy Spirit that strengthens us; The Bear Valley International Institute for their uncountable financial and material support for the progress of God's work in Gueckedou and in Guinea.

We also thank our able donors, who finance the construction of worship halls in Gueckedou.

We say thank you and again thank you to our Coordinator, Steven Ashcraft for his sacrifice of being ready day and night to help us in any way he can.

Finally, we thank Ken and Barry, as well as all other brethren who contribute to the growth of the Church of Christ in Guinea.

May God's peace and grace accompany us all.
