Reporting letter for the month of October-2025
Date November 8th,2025.
Our director Mr. Keith Kasarjian and our coordinator Mr. Mark Reynolds and all the prayer partners greetings to you in the name of Jesus Christ. We thank you for your prayers and encouragement that you provide for the BVBI-extension centre at Vidyanagar, Andhra Pradesh-India.
As Vidyanagar village is geographically located in coastal side in our district- young people have less opportunities to travel to towns and cities for the full time Bible training courses . This BVBI extension centre is a great blessing for the rural students. Most of the students from this school are already preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ in different rural congregations. They are able to attend for the weekend classes and learning good lessons. They are able teach the lessons on following Sundays in their local churches.
Vidyanagar -Extension Centre Activities
Classes: - Vidyanagar BVBI-extension centre functions at weekends, students from different villages which are near Vidyanagar travel and attend for the classes.
