School Campaign
The Bear Valley Bible Institute–Liberia extends beyond academic instruction; it embraces the responsibility to evangelize and nurture spiritual growth within communities. In line with this mission, we conducted a three-day Restoration Campaign in Wea Beadatuo from September 18–21, 2025, replacing the previously interrupted Church Planting program.
As a Bible Institute, one of our core responsibilities is to equip students not only with knowledge but also with practical evangelistic experience. Campaigns such as the one in Wea Beadatuo help students:
1. Apply their theological training in real evangelistic settings
2. Develop skills in discipleship, ministerial care, and community engagement
3. Cultivate a heart for evangelistic and personal spiritual growth
These activities enable the Institute to produce graduates who are spiritually mature and practically prepared for ministry.
Benefits of this exercise to Students include:
1. Hands-on Experience: Leading worship, preaching, counseling, and evangelizing under supervision
2. Leadership Development: Strengthening teamwork, organizational skills, and strategic planning
3. Character Formation: Cultivating patience, empathy, and perseverance while ministering to diverse populations
These experiences complement classroom learning and prepare students for future ministry opportunities.
Results of the Campaign
We give glory to God for the outcomes of this campaign, which bring honor and praise to His name:
1. Seven baptisms, marking new beginnings in the lives of those precious souls
2. Seventy-nine restorations, as individuals who had backslidden returned to active fellowship
3. Strengthened community presence and credibility for the Institute
4. Renewed relationships that enable continued discipleship and outreach
These results reflect the effectiveness of practical evangelistic initiatives and the value they add to the students’ spiritual and academic growth.
We extend our appreciation to our sponsors and staff, whose prayers, resources, and guidance made the event possible, our dedicated students, who served faithfully and represented the Institute well, and the community of Wea Beadatuo, for their receptivity and cooperation. Your support helped reinforce the importance of community-oriented evangelistic work in the Lord’s kingdom.
