BEAR VALLEY BIBLE INSTITUTE INTERNATIONAL NKORANZA CAMPUS, GHANA
REPORT FOR FIRST QUARTER 2025
PREAMBLE
The Bear Valley Institute in Nkoranza is making a head way in preacher training and evangelism, though Nkoranza Bible School has been in existence for the past 8 years. When Bear Valley came on board last year, the school had grown from strength to strength when partnered with Bear Valley. Resources received have contributed immensely. We praised and thanked God for helping and protecting us to achieve such a wonderful feat. We are also grateful to our sponsors for responding to our needs.
OVERVIEW
The Nkoranza study center is one of the evangelistic schools in Ghana propagating the gospel and assisting congregations in teaching and preaching. The population of the school is 16 of which 8 of the students completed 24 courses before the partnership, they are expected to graduate God willing in the third quarter of 2026.
COURSES AND EVANGELISTIC ACTIVITIES
As of the end of the first quarter (March 2025) students have completed and examined on Christian Leadership, Hermeneutics, and Life of Christ 1. We have entered their results into the student database.
In the next quarter, thus April to June we were expected to treat courses in the Life of Christ 2, 3, and 4. With the help of digital libraries received, teaching and learning is moving on well.
Even though we did not organize a gospel campaign as a school, individual students and staff took part in personal evangelism with some baptism. Ghana’s Independence Day is 6th of March. On that day Rexford together with the evangelism committee of Sunyani central church embarked on street evangelism and tracts distribution on the principal streets of Sunyani, we distributed more than three thousand Bible tracts on that day, we were able to get some prospects who have started visiting nearby congregations.
PROJECTION FOR THE NEXT QUARTER
As an evangelistic institution we have planned to reach out to many souls in the next quarter by expanding our gospel campaign activities to Nkoranza area where the gospel has not yet reached, we are hoping to expand the kingdom beyond.
We have planned to plant two churches within the year. Hoping to plant one in the next quarter and possibly another in the third quarter God willing.
Our students and staff are well prepared to engage in that Godly assignment. Hoping to convert many to Christ by collaborating with churches eager to evangelize.
It is our hope that God will help our partners to continue support us in that regard.
THE STUDENT’S PROFILE
Brother George Borah is a member of the Lord’s church and a student of Bear Valley Bible Institute Nkoranza campus. He was the twelve son of Mr. Kwaku Awale and Mad. Abena Ackah all of blessed memory. He was born on 21st December, 1993 at Dromankese in the Nkoranza North Municipality of Bono East Region Ghana.

Brother George was raised by his late mother, his father passed on when he was 6 months old, he has really suffered in life. Among his siblings he is only member of the Lord's church. Brother George is yet to marry, his passion is to propagate the gospel to the lost and reach out to those in need. He took active part in gospel campaigns and church planting activities.
On Saturday 1st February, 2025 brother George Borah came to write exams on Christian Leadership at Nkoranza Campus, upon returning to Dromankese, fire guttered his residence and burned the whole house into ashes without picking anything. The unfortunate aspect is that he is seeking employment after graduation from the tertiary.
Notwithstanding, Brother George Borah enjoyed reading Job 1:20-22 “Then Job arose, tore his robe and shook his head and fell to the ground and worshiped. And he said, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb and naked I shall return. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away”. Even though Brother George Borah lost everything but still trust in the Lord for replenishment.
