ANAMBRA STATE CENTERS
QUARTERLY REPORT
Reporting Period: June – August 2026
1. INTRODUCTION
We wish to use this opportunity to sincerely appreciate and thank the leadership of our revered institution, Bear Valley Bible Institute, both locally and internationally, for the noble and relentless efforts being made toward the continuous growth and improvement of the school.
We in Anambra State are greatly benefiting from the ministry and academic programmes of Bear Valley Bible Institute. Our students are making meaningful contributions and demonstrating the knowledge acquired from the school in their various congregations and communities.
At present, we operate three centers in Anambra State: Awada, Okpoko, and Nnewi, with a total of six lecturers and thirty-eight students across the three centers.
We bless the name of the Lord for the opportunity and privilege of having Bear Valley Bible Institute established and functioning in Anambra State. We remain grateful for the impact the institution continues to make in the lives of our students and in the Lord's church.

3. EVANGELISM ACTIVITIES
Evangelism remains an important part of our activities in Anambra State. During the quarter under review, some of our students joined in outreach efforts aimed at proclaiming the Gospel and strengthening newly established congregations.
On June 14, 2026, one of our students, Ndubuisi Absolom Omebe, accompanied the Director, Ezeh Chijioke Shedrack, on a visit to the newly planted congregation at Umumbo, Anambra East Local Government Area. By the grace of God, two souls responded to the Gospel call.
On June 21, 2026, another student, Akpa Kingsley, joined the Director in visiting the same congregation. During the visit, one additional soul responded to the Gospel call.
These evangelistic efforts demonstrate the practical impact of the training received by our students at Bear Valley Bible Institute. We are encouraged by the progress being made and remain committed to supporting evangelism and the establishment and strengthening of congregations throughout the state.
4. RADIO EVANGELISM
Our radio evangelism programme, sponsored by congregations in Anambra State, continues to make a significant impact across the state.
Through this programme, the Gospel is reaching a wider audience, and we are currently following up with a number of people who have shown interest in the message being presented. We are grateful to the congregations supporting this important evangelistic effort and pray that God will continue to use the programme to reach more souls.
5. FORTHCOMING LECTURESHIP
As part of our continuing efforts to strengthen the Lord's church in Anambra State, we are planning to organise a Lectureship on September 26, 2026.
One of the major issues we intend to address is Scripturally Designated Leadership in the Church. This is an important subject because, despite the establishment and growth of the Lord's church in Anambra State for approximately six decades, the issue of properly establishing scriptural leadership remains a significant challenge among the congregations.
Our desire is to use the Lectureship as an avenue to create greater awareness, encourage biblical reflection, and help congregations understand and embrace the New Testament pattern for spiritual leadership.
We believe that addressing this matter will contribute significantly to the spiritual growth, stability, accountability, and future development of the Lord's church in Anambra State.
6. CONCLUSION
As stated earlier, we owe a great debt of gratitude to God Almighty and to the leadership of Bear Valley Bible Institute for the tremendous work God is accomplishing in Anambra State through the school.
We sincerely appreciate the leadership, lecturers, congregations, supporters, and everyone who continues to contribute to the growth and success of the Bear Valley Bible Institute centers in Anambra State.
We remain committed to the mission of training faithful men and women who will serve the Lord effectively, strengthen His church, and proclaim the Gospel to their communities.
We pray that God will continue to bless and strengthen the leadership of Bear Valley Bible Institute, both locally and internationally, and grant us greater wisdom and strength to serve Him faithfully.
In His Service,
Ezeh Chijioke Shedrack
