Reporting Letter for the month of August-2026
September 8th,2026.
Respected director Mr. Keith Kasarjian and our coordinator Mr. Mark Reynolds and all the prayer partners greetings to you in the matchless name of ourLord and Savior Jesus christ. We pray that this letter may serve us to find you all with good health. Thank you very much for your prayers and encouragement for the smooth function of BVBI-Tirupati-India. We would like to submit a brief report for the month of August-2026.
Weather:- After the heat of summer, the weather has become a little cooler. We thank God for the seasons and the blessings He provides. As the Bible says, God “gives us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness” (Acts 14:17).
5th Batch Students:- Please keep the 5th batch students in your prayers. We are teaching them the syllabus prescribed by BVBI and helping them grow in their knowledge and understanding of God’s Word.
As part of their training, we:
Teach the prescribed lessons and review them with class notes.
Give regular assignments to strengthen their understanding.
Conduct weekend examinations to evaluate their progress.
Encourage them to memorize important Scriptures.
Please pray that God will give these students wisdom, dedication, discipline, and a sincere desire to learn and faithfully serve Him. Pray that what they are learning will not remain only as knowledge, but will be applied in their lives and used effectively in preaching and teaching others.
Bible Seminar – August 12th:-
We conducted a Bible seminar on August 12th, during which we studied several important lessons from the book of Hebrews. The seminar provided an opportunity for us to deepen our understanding of God’s Word, strengthen our faith, and encourage one another in our spiritual growth. We are thankful to God for this opportunity to study His Word together.
Gospel Campaigning:-
We conduct a gospel campaign once every month in different villages. On the evening of August 29th, we conducted a gospel meeting at Gudali Village. We shared the message of God with the people and encouraged them to hear and respond to the Gospel. We thank God for giving us this opportunity to reach out to the community with His Word.
Two Souls Added to the Body of Christ:-
We are thankful to God that two souls have obeyed the Gospel and have been added to the body of Christ. Please remember these new souls in your prayers, that they may continue to grow spiritually, remain faithful to the Lord, and be strengthened in their Christian lives.
Online Bible Classes:-
We conduct online Bible classes for students who are unable to attend our in-person classes because of their jobs, studies, and other responsibilities. We conduct these online classes twice a week. At present, we are studying the book of Acts, seeking to strengthen the students’ knowledge of God’s Word and their ability to teach other( 2Timoth 2:2).
August 1, 2026 – Door Knocking at Akayyanaidumitta Village:-
We visit Akayyanaidumitta village once a week for door-to-door evangelism and encouragement. The people in this village live in tents. Unfortunately, the landowner asked them to vacate the place, so they had to move to a new location. We visited them at their new place, encouraged them, and shared God’s Word with them. Please remember these families in your prayers.
Guest Teacher:- In the month of August we had guest teacher Mr.S.Vijay Prakash from Rajamandry. He was able to teach the book of Hebrews .
Guest Teacher:- During the month of August, we were blessed to have Mr. S. Vijay Prakash from Rajahmundry serve as our guest teacher. He taught our students several valuable lessons from the book of Hebrews. We are thankful for his time, effort, and willingness to encourage and equip our students through God’s Word.
August 15th – School Visit:-
On August 15th, I was invited by a local school to participate in the Independence Day celebration of India. I was given the opportunity to share a few important moral values that students should practice in their daily lives in order to become responsible and good citizens of the country. I was thankful for this opportunity to encourage the students and share values that can positively influence their character and future.
Brothers ,We are deeply grateful to the Bear Valley Bible Institute (BVBI) for the love, kindness, and confidence they have shown in establishing a BVBI Extension Center in Tirupati, India. We consider this opportunity a great blessing and a privilege to be part of the work of training men and women to faithfully serve the Lord.
We sincerely appreciate the continued love, encouragement, prayers, guidance, and support that BVBI has extended to us. Your willingness to invest in the spiritual training of students in India is a great encouragement to us and to the local churches.
We pray that the Lord will continue to bless BVBI, its leaders, instructors, and supporters.
Thanking you.
