Graduation nears in Harare, Zimbabwe
HARARE EXTENSION – JULY TO SEPTEMBER 2026 REPORT
INTRODUCTION
Bear Valley Bible Institute Zimbabwe is slowly becoming the Bible School of choice. Doctrinal soundness remains the greatest pillar that is drawing people to the school. Maintaining sound doctrine in theory and practice is never taken for granted, we uphold it, believe it, and stand ready to pass it on to the next generation.
As always, Bear Valley Bible Institute International, we thank you for this partnership. We continue cherishing the oneness of purpose as we focus on training preachers.
AUGUST 2026 BLOCK
The block started on 07 August to 17 August 2026 and the students met for learning at Nhowe Mission. The two classes merged and we had one learning process.
Nhowe Mission gives more opportunities, like being exposed to hospital visitations; and having lessons with the school children. The inclusion of hospital visitations on the program is of importance.
Thirteen (13) students, from both Harare and Nhowe, attended the block and the lessons done were The Hebrew Epistle, Advanced Homiletics, Advanced Hermeneutics, and Major Prophets. We capitalised on the time that we had, and everyday had nine (9) hours of learning, that is 08:00 to 17:00 hours.
The teachers who taught the classes were myself, Howard Suwari, and Ishmael Mutichu. The blocks are there to compliment the weekend classes, and this helps in covering some courses.

CONGREGATIONAL INVOLVEMENT

He is a student but actively involved as he is already serving God with Nyoka Church of Christ in Gokwe.
CONCLUSION
We remain committed to the mission and vision of the church and training of preachers. We therefore continue to commit to the cause of the gospel. Sincerely, we thank you Bear Valley Bible Institute InternationaI for supporting the Harare Extension School. May God bless always.
Stay blessed and be a blessing to all,
Howard & Shupikai Suwari
