INTRODUCTION
We shall continue to be eternally grateful to God Almighty for His grace by bringing Bear Valley Bible Institute to us. We have not had it so good as we have it today. The congregations within our State have started feeling the good impact of the school through some of our students who were their members.
May God Almighty bless the entire Bear Valley leadership and all the sponsors of the school. Presently we have 40 students, (Nnewi 10, Awada 17, Okpoko 12).
ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES
The following course were taught in our various centers:
Nnewi Center: Old Testament 1 (The books of the Law). Teacher was Everest Eneh
Awada Center: Church History: Teacher was Faith Jonathan
Okpoko Center: Church History: Teacher was Ogbonna Vincent
EVANGELISM/LECTURESHIP
Anambra preachers and leaders held a One Day lectureship. One of our lectures, Aniamalu Felix and myself, Ezeh Chijioke handled the two key notes. The topics discussed were "The Preacher's family" and "The Responsibilities of the Church Towards Her Ministers" about 50 leading from various congregations attended the program.
CHALLENGES
The major challenge confronting us is the decline of our students because of the economic situation of our country. Many are struggling to survive.
CONCLUSION
By the grace of God our lecturers are doing a great job in delivering the courses to the understanding of our students and also to the strict adherent to the Bear Valley guidelines.
We hope that the impact of their work will continue to shape our various congregations for more fruitful work in the Lord"s Vineyard.
