May the God of Abraham, Father of our salvation in Jesus Christ, pour out his abundant peace and grace upon you! The congregation of the church of Christ worshipping at the Bear Valley Bible Institute campus in MOUNDOU-CHAD, and all the students studying at this Institute send you their sincere greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! We would like to thank God, Bear Valley, the Creekside congregation, and all the Saints for your prayers and multiple actions in favor of Chad through the Gospel. Once again, God has added a significant number of souls to his church. After a sermon series on "The New Testament Church” and "The Organization of the Church that Christ Built” in a village in MANDOUL from June 13 to 15, some of the members of a denomination called ACT (Christian Assembly in Chad) converted to the church of Christ. We baptized nine people on June 14. The first Christian worship took place in this village called KOUH BEBOPENE. We ask for many prayers for this new congregation and for our other missions with the same objective in this area.
The Director of the Moundou Training Center wishes to sincerely thank our coordinator David Ballard for providing the management with a new motorcycle. This new motorcycle allows for follow-up work that has led to the restoration of two assemblies, one in May and another in June. May God continue to bless you abundantly for helping to spread His gospel message throughout the world! Also, pray for the evangelistic work at the central prison in the city of Moundou. A few people have agreed to be baptized. We are looking for opportunities to allow them to be baptized in the coming days. Finally, pray that the Center will find a good means of transportation to help transport its students and the weekend evangelistic team to mission sites, as the land is fertile, but the labor and resources for the work are a challenge.
Speaking of teaching activities, everything is going well for the moment. We thank God for his powerful hand in supporting our school, the Bear Valley Bible Institute Moundou -Chad. Classes are proceeding normally. The instructors enjoy their work and respect the institution's guidelines. Our students will be starting their internship in three weeks.
Thank you, and may God bless you abundantly for His work!
Fraternally in Christ,
Datoudji
