BVBI in Anambra Continues to Evangelize
INTRODUCTION:
We shall continue to give praises, glory, and honor to our Father in heaven for His grace, which enable us to be among those blessed with Bear Valley Bible Institute Nigeria. We shall also continue to express our profound gratitude to the leadership of Bear Valley Bible Institute for your relentless efforts and commitment in the business of training men and women in the "Most Valuable" in the world, which is the Word of God. Our prayers shall always be for the Almighty God who started this with you to continue His blessings and favor upon you all.
Presently, we have six lecturers teaching in our three centers; they are being rotated. We have approximately forty students in our three centers, among are five ministers ministering in our various congregations. We are expecting an increase in the number of students base on the ongoing sensitization, which we started in the month of January 2026.

EVANGELISM ACTIVITIES:
A soul was added to the body of Christ, Nneobi Town, through the effort of one of our students at Nnewi center in the month of January as they engaged in practical during their course on "Personal Evangelism". The BVBIN, lecturers, and the Director, have been anchoring the Radio programs going on two Radio stations in Anambra State, being sponsored by churches of Christ in Anambra State, and the Lord has been blessing a lot of souls through them.
OTHER ACTIVITIES:
One of our students, who is the preacher of the Church of Christ, Ugwuagba Obosi, got married on February 17th, and the Bear family over here attended the ceremony. Also, two of our students at Nnewi died, one of them will be buried today, March 5th, and we are preparing to attend to encourage the family.
CONCLUSION:
By the grace of God, we are looking forward to bridging the gap of Scriptural Designated Leadership in Anambra State. By His grace, a good number of "managers" of various congregations in the State are now joining the school through the ongoing sensitisation, which started in the month of January 2026.
In the Onitsha area, we have visited four congregations, and seventeen brethren filled the admissions form, eight wrote the entrance exam on March 2. At Nnewi, we equally visited four congregations, six filled the admissions form, but three took the entrance exam on March 2. We are looking forward to the remaining ones coming around next Monday for their exam.
We want to still take the step further through lectureships, which we are intending to hold in August 2026. The church of Christ in Anambra State started in the year 1965, but till date, no congregation has been able to designate eldership, but by His grace through Bear Valley, we will overcome the challenge.
