INTRODUCTION
September has been a vibrant month for the Bear Valley Bible Institute, embodying our mission to equip leaders for effective ministry. Our commitment to Biblical education and community outreach was evident through various initiatives. The preaching on Top Radio, the ongoing class on 1 Corinthians, and the alumni homecoming event fostered a sense of unity and purpose among students, alumni, and faculty. The visit from Bro. Keit Kasarjian further emphasized our connection with the broader international community and highlighted our commitment to providing quality Biblical education.
TOP RADIO PREACHING
Throughout September, our students participated in a series of preaching sessions on Top Radio, which allowed us to reach a wider audience with the Gospel message. The programs focused on various themes from Scripture, emphasizing practical applications for daily living. This initiative not only enhanced our students' preaching skills but also strengthened the church's outreach efforts in the local community.
CLASS SCHEDULE
The academic schedule for September featured the course on 1 Corinthians, taught by our esteemed instructor, Ebenezer Amoasi. This course provided students with a deep understanding of the theological and practical implications of Paul's letter. The interactive nature of the classes encouraged robust discussions and critical thinking, enabling students to apply Biblical principles to contemporary issues facing the church today.
ALUMNI HOMECOMING AND SOCIAL TALKS
One of the highlights of September was the alumni homecoming event, which brought together former students and faculty for a day of fellowship and encouragement. The campus was moved from Doboro to Botokura on March 2026 which is unknown to many of the alumni. The event was specifically to welcome the alumni to their home and a result included social talks that fostered connections and provided a platform for alumni to share their experiences and insights since graduating. The presence of Bro. Keith Kasarjian community added to the richness of discussions, promoting collaboration and networking among alumni.

We were honored to host Bro. Keith Kasarjian, the Coordinator for International Studies, who visited our campus to tour the facilities and engage with our faculty and students. During his visit, he expressed great enthusiasm for our programs and provided valuable update on current enrollment worldwide and lectured us on the role of the preacher and sermon delivery. His interactions with the students and faculty were encouraging and reinforced our commitment to excellence in Biblical education.

September 2026 was a month of growth, connection, and outreach for Bear Valley Bible Institute Accra Botokura. The combination of dynamic radio preaching, in-depth biblical studies, meaningful alumni engagement, and international collaboration has enriched our community life.
