Bear Valley Bible Institute – Kara
Activity Report – May 2025
Introduction
We give thanks to God, as the month of May unfolded in peace and joy. Thanks to your faithful support, the Institute continues to train zealous evangelists, rooted in the Word and ready to serve in every area of ministry.
I. Academic Activities
The training was carried out according to the planned schedule, in a serious and productive atmosphere, fueled by the motivation and faithfulness of the students. Their thirst for knowledge, personal discipline, and desire to grow in faith greatly contributed to the overall quality of the program.
Attendance: Full-time students distinguished themselves through their punctuality, dedication, and consistent motivation. Their attitude reflects a genuine desire for inner transformation and for applying God’s Word in daily life.
Theory and Practice: Each training session offered a balanced approach between theoretical content and practical application. The biblical teachings were deepened through morning devotions, allowing students to begin each day centered on Christ. Personal assignments enabled them to reflect individually on the truths studied, while small group discussions encouraged mutual listening, interaction, and collective enrichment.
II. Evangelism – Fruitful Fridays
Our Friday evangelism campaigns continue to bear visible fruit: testimonies, new contacts, and sincere interest in the Gospel are becoming increasingly frequent.
Activity Example: Like the disciples of Christ, some students combined tract distribution, door-to-door evangelism, and open discussions — this practice reinforces the teaching they receive. As a result, one woman and eight men were baptized during the month of May.
III. Break – May 30 to June 13, 2025
During the break, students enjoy a time of rest while continuing to:
Strengthen their spiritual life,
Review previously covered courses,
Prepare for upcoming classes.
IV. Activities During the Break
Although classes are suspended, students are encouraged to:
Participate in local evangelistic activities,
Strengthen their prayer life and personal Bible study,
Maintain regular contact with the families they are following up with.
V. Class Resumption – June 16 to October 30, 2025
The second trimester will begin on June 16 and end on October 30, 2025 (16 weeks). The program will include six key subjects:
Subject
Instructor
Introduction to the New Testament - Nicodème
Acts of the Apostles - Céphas
Ministry of Multiplication - Kpelevi
Homiletics II - Fidèle
Affirmation of Biblical Authority - Céphas
Gospel of Matthew - Fidèle
VI. A Congregation Planted at the Center
A new local congregation was planted directly at the training center, initiated by the students. This newly formed church serves as a practice ground for all participants: it is their first real “mission field” where they can apply the teachings received.
This practical context not only fosters commitment but also helps students learn the day-to-day realities of ministry: preaching, worship leading, hospitality, follow-up with new believers, and evangelism. With the resumption of classes, many mission activities will be intensified: evangelism campaigns, group outreach, neighborhood visits, and spiritual support.
These efforts are fully integrated into the hands-on training, which is essential for preparing laborers for the Lord’s work.
Conclusion and Gratitude
We thank our Lord for His grace and faithfulness throughout the month of May.
Our achievements — both academic and spiritual — reflect a strong missionary momentum.
Thank you, dear partners, for your financial support, your moral encouragement, and your constant prayers. Together, we are shaping dedicated servants for the Kingdom of God.
