It was a great privilege to join about 30 other directors of Bear Valley schools across Nigeria who gathered at the WNCC campus, Abeokuta in Ogun State Nigeria for the first annual Bear Valley Bible Institute, Nigeria Directors Retreat on March 24, 2026. It was great to listen and learn from our guest speakers which includes:

* Keith Kasarjian 

* Timothy Iwe

* Makinde Olufemi

* Daniel Gaines 

* Chad Wagner 

We learned about Leadership, Digital library, WBS collaboration and Strategy to further the church through Bear Valley Bible Institute. I was great to have lunch fellowship with fellow Directors of BVBIN schools and our international directors.

MISCELLANEOUS

* Our students participated in the Healing Hands International Agriculture training by the country Director Mr. Victor Nyong so they can be self reliance in the ministry.

* We provide lunch occasionally to our students from our administrative funds. Also, we support some of our our students transport fare, mostly the needy students who are zealous about their studies but lack means of coming to school.

* We lost one of our student through dead (Bro Emma Benjamin), he was so dedicated to his studies, we pray for God's comfort on the family. 

CONCLUSION

Thank you so much for your generosity, I am optimistic that many souls will come to the knowledge of Christ and His Church through Bear Valley Bible Institute, Nigeria Ukanafun Center. Already, even when we are yet to graduate our students, one of our students is already on rescue mission as a Preacher at Obon Odor village church. We trust God for more.

We look forward to a greater impact through Bear Valley Bible Institute Nigeria.

In Christian Love and service,

Mojima Etokudo
