Preparing for Evangelistic Activity in Cape Coast, Ghana
BEAR VALLEY BIBLE SCHOOL, CAPE COAST
REPORT FOR THE END OF FIRST SEMESTER
MARCH 2026
PREAMBLE
The Bear Valley Bible School in Cape Coast began a new academic year in October 2026. This was after the school graduated its first batch of ministers in the first week of October 2026. We are currently in our sixth month of the academic year by the gracious mercies of God. Students are positively responding to the norms of their life, and everything is going on and running smoothly.
OVERVIEW
The Cape Coast Study Center is arguably one of the best Bible School outlets in the region. We currently have a student population of 27. Of this number, 19 are regular attendees as their school and work schedules permit them. The other students are struggling with attendance, and sometimes financial difficulties. The school is, however, expected to make serious inroads in the country very soon, as now more congregations are calling and asking about us after they have heard of us and listened to some of our graduates teach and preach on various platforms, including churches, Facebook, TikTok, and other social media outlets.
The improvement in our student’s enrollment is a testimony to the good works we are putting in here as we keep attracting interest and attention of the people in the central region. Brethren from all around the region keep calling to make inquiries about our programs and activities. And for this, we have our students to thank, as they have proven to be very good ambassadors to the school and the Bear Valley name.
SUPPLY OF RESOURCES
It has been quite a long time since we received any resources or support items in the school. It was just recently that the national coordinator supplied us with a box of the preacher's box and some tracts.
COURSES
As of the end of February, in the first semester of the academic year, we have successfully completed the following courses: HOW WE GOT THE BIBLE, PERSONAL EVANGELISM, THE LIFE OF CHRIST (MATTHEW), and BASIC CONCEPTS IN ICT.
We hope to continue with: THE OLD TESTAMENT 1 (LAW), THE GODHEAD, and THE BOOK OF ACTS in the next quarter.
PREPARATIONS FOR EVANGELISM
The school is planning on a weeklong evangelism program at Ankaako, a rural community located close to the Twifo Praso District in the central region. Tentatively, we are hoping to embark on this outreach from the 20th to the 26th of July, 2026. As part of our preparations to embark on a week-long evangelism campaign, students have been asked to get ready for a mock presentation so that we can fine-tune our notes and strategies for outdoor broadcasts. As a matter of fact, we shall first join Wiamoa Church of Christ, one of the local churches in the Abura Asebu Kwamankese district, on a weeklong evangelism program so that the students can learn first-hand how to go about this one. Other preachers and speakers have been invited to be part of this program, like the one we have been doing. The program at the Wiamoa community is scheduled to run from Tuesday, the 7th, through Sunday, the 12th of April, 2026.
FACULTY MEETINGS
At the beginning of the school year, the Director organized two separate meetings for the school. The first one was to discuss with the teaching faculty how the school will be operating in the new academic year. The meeting also afforded the new staff the opportunity to meet the old staff so that we could properly leverage on experience and strategies to give our best to the students.
The second meeting was with the new group of students admitted in the new year. They were thrilled to meet the teaching faculty, as they got to know the number and quality of staff at the disposal of the school. They are seasoned and experienced hands, with some of our graduating students being added to the staff strength.
