GUECKEDOU BEAR VALLEY BIBLE INSTITUTE OPERATIONS REPORT FOR OCTOBER 2025
We bring you precious greetings from the Bear Valley family in Guinea precisly in the prefecture headquarters of Gueckedou.
We wish to report and share with you a rundown of the various activities that transpired here during the month of October 2025. There were a series of activities including lectures, follow up works and evangelism, church leaders training and that of the work of gospel campaigns by the evangelistic teams in the country. All of which resulted successfully to the glory of God. Here are the details under the various sub-headings.
Classroom: During the month of October, just after brother Balla Kamano of Kissidougou completed Minor Prophets, 2 permanent staff, Antoine Fassa Tolno and Robert Kamano took on the students for Christian leadership and the epistles of first and second Peter and Jude. All went on well.
Students and Staff Follow up and Personal Evangelism:
Since we are also committed not only for classroom lectures, but also for field works, our students and staff have made follow up works through out the month to edify and to strengthen new churches, but especially to evangelize. This exercice resulted in the total conversion of 9 souls for which we thank God.
Evangelistic teams follow up:
The follow up works are also done by the men of the team leaders who in fact led most of the campaigns to plant those churches. During the exercice the following conversions took place in:
1. Koindou of Koundou Lengobengou - 6
2. Koyodou village - 10
3. Baladou of Nongoa sous-préfecture - 5
Total conversion here is 21
Church Leaders Training:
There were 2 church leaders training conducted in the town of Forekaria and the village of Kongola.
The evangelistic team leaders of Conakry carried on the training at Forekaria, 5 persons while a combined unit of Bear Valley staff and the Koundou Lengobengou team leaders conducted the other in the village of Kongola where 13 men where trained.
There has always been the need to train leaders here because new churches are being planted all the time even as shown below in this report. We are grateful for those who understand and support this work.
