Second Quarter Report – 2025
By Peter Arhinful-Quansah
Director, Accra East Campus
Courses Covered
The second quarter of the 2025 academic year ran from Friday, April 4 to Saturday, June 28. During this period, the campus successfully covered three core biblical courses:
The Major Prophets
The Minor Prophets
Church History
These courses focused on deepening students' understanding of the role of prophets in God's mission to save mankind and the historical development of the church.
Student Participation
Once again, the quarter began with strong enthusiasm. However, there was a noticeable decline in student attendance during the month of June.
On average, eight (8) students attended each session, maintaining a consistent level of commitment despite the slight drop in numbers.
House-to-House Evangelism
Although no large-scale evangelism event was held this quarter, Students, together with their director, participated in supporting congregations at Gomoa Asebu-Pomadze, Awutu Breku Twiime, Santor Central, North Atomic, and Boi Their involvement included teaching, strengthening the local congregations, and participating in evangelism efforts.
After Sunday worship, they actively joined local members in house-to-house evangelism.
We thank God for two baptisms recorded this quarter:
One at Boi Church of Christ
One at Santor Central
We continue to pray for more souls to be added to the Lord’s kingdom.
Church Planting Initiative – 2025
This year’s church planting program remains a top priority. However, one of the major challenges we continue to face is identifying a preacher who can take full responsibility for leading the newly planted congregation. Preparations are ongoing as we shift our focus once again to the Central Region.
Recently, we met with a preacher who expressed interest in taking up this role. Although the discussions are still in progress, we are praying that he will respond positively to the call and be ready to help plant the church in the third quarter, God willing.
Based on past experience, when a new congregation is left solely in the care of a student preacher, the work tends to grow more slowly compared to when a full-time or permanent preacher is assigned. Although our students are well-trained—having completed nearly four years of intensive biblical and ministry preparation—they remain under the leadership of their home congregations, and this sometimes do not allow the students to work independently.
We continue to pray that, by the end of the year, the Lord will provide a spiritually mature and committed preacher possibly from among the Bear Valley students who will embrace this leadership responsibility.
Major Upcoming Events
The major events planned for the third quarter include the Lectureship and the Church Planting Program, God willing. These activities are designed to focus on winning souls for Christ and further equipping our students for the important work that lies ahead.
Conclusion
The second quarter of 2025 marked steady progress in both academic training and small-scale field evangelism. As we move forward, we remain committed to equipping our students for faithful service through sound biblical instruction, practical outreach, and church planting efforts.
We are deeply grateful for God’s continued grace and trust Him for even greater results in the months ahead.
