THIRD QUARTER REPORT - 2026
Prepared by: Peter Arhinful-Quansah
Director, Bear Valley Bible Institute International, Accra East Campus
Date: November 3, 2026
1. Introduction
The reporting period covered August 1 to October 31, 2026.
During the period under review, the school successfully completed the following courses:
• The Life of Jesus - Matthew
• II Corinthians
• Marriage and Family Life
The school also commenced the study of the Book of Acts, which is expected to be completed in the next quarter.
2. Student Report
The school had ten (10) enrolled students during the reporting period. However, some of the students had previously completed the courses offered during the quarter and therefore did not participate in the classes. The average class attendance among participating students was approximately six (6) students per class.
Overall, the students demonstrated satisfactory academic progress and participated in classroom discussions and assignments. The school continues to encourage increased enrollment through regular promotional and awareness campaigns. Members of the churches are also encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to receive sound biblical training and prepare for Christian service.
3. Follow-up Visits
As part of its commitment to strengthening congregations established through church planting and supporting other congregations through evangelism, the school planned follow-up visits to the following churches:
• Gomoa Asebu-Pomadze
• Awutu Breku-Twiime
• North Atomic
• Akim Subriso
During the reporting period, follow-up visits were successfully conducted at Gomoa Asebu-Pomadze, Awutu Breku-Twiime and North Atomic. These visits formed part of the school's ongoing efforts to encourage the congregations, strengthen their faith and support their spiritual growth. The planned visit to Akim Subriso remains part of the school's follow-up activities.
4. Church Planting
The Accra East Campus, in collaboration with the Nmai Djorn Church of Christ and Santor Central Church of Christ, has planned to undertake another church-planting initiative at Police City, in the East Legon Hills area of the Greater Accra Region.
Police City is a residential community in the East Legon Hills area, on the outskirts of Accra. The area is experiencing considerable development, with several residential buildings under construction. Nanakrom is one of the nearby communities.
During the preliminary feasibility study, four families who are members of the Church of Christ were identified in the community. Further visits are expected to provide opportunities to identify additional residents and families who may benefit from the Gospel.
The school aims to establish a congregation in the community in January 2027.
One of the major challenges encountered in previous church-planting efforts was how to identify suitable leaders to oversee newly established congregations. To address this challenge, three additional preachers from the Nmai Djorn congregation are involved in this initiative, providing a stronger basis for leadership and oversight. One of these preachers is expected to be designated to oversee the work and provide leadership for the new congregation.
The students will support the initiative primarily through evangelism, Bible teaching and edification, while the designated preacher will provide leadership and oversight.
We pray that this initiative will contribute to the spread of the Gospel and the establishment of a faithful congregation in the community.
5. Evangelism and Congregational Support
Current students and the 2026 graduates continued their evangelism and edification efforts, particularly at Gomoa Asebu and Awutu Breku-Twiime.
The congregation at Gomoa Asebu continues to need additional support from brethren to strengthen its work. The school remains committed to assisting the congregation through regular evangelistic activities, Bible teaching, edification and leadership development.
Although student participation in evangelistic activities remains an area for improvement, the school is optimistic that enrollment and class attendance will increase through continued encouragement and promotional efforts. The school also hopes to encourage greater participation by church members in evangelistic activities to strengthen the spread of the Gospel.
We thank God, during the quarter, five (5) people were baptised following evangelistic efforts. One (1) was baptised at Gomoa Asebu-Pomadze, while four (4) were baptised at Nmai Djorn Church of Christ.
6. Plans for the Next Quarter
The school plans to undertake the following activities in the coming quarter:
Continue follow-up visits to strengthen congregations, particularly those in rural communities.
Expand evangelism efforts into additional communities while developing future church leaders.
Advance preparations for the proposed church-planting initiative at Police City, East Legon Hills.
Continue house-to-house evangelism.
Support the spiritual growth and development of existing congregations through Bible teaching and edification.
Begin preparations for the campus's planned lectureship in 2027.
These activities reflect the school's continued commitment to biblical training, leadership development, evangelism and church planting.
7. Conclusion
We thank God for His continued guidance and blessings throughout the reporting period. We remain committed to equipping faithful men for Christian service and advancing the Lord's church through evangelism, leadership development, and church planting.
We are grateful for the prayers, encouragement and support of all those who partner with us in this important work. We look forward to God's continued guidance and to the opportunities for growth and service in the coming quarter.
“And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also." - 2 Timothy 2:2 (NKJV)
