Trusting the Almighty in Ukraine

Dear brothers and sisters, as well as the congregations,  

The war continues in our country and we feel it every day. Ukraine is being hit by the Russian missiles, and it doesn't matter to what part of the country you relocated - the missiles land everywhere. Last week the city, where I live got attacked. The kamikaze drones manufactured in Iran were targeting the military base and all the barracks were blown up. My children and my wife were terrified and we rushed to the basement of the multi apartment building to wait this night strikes out. Undoubtedly, it influences the people's character, children being especially vulnerable. Many people are very unstable emotionally with fewer smiles and less compassion. It is understandable because every second can be your last one. We ask you to keep praying for peace in Ukraine. The war took lives of so many civilians and the military fatalities are not even known to the general population. 

The Bila Tserkva Church of Christ.  

We keep ministering to the refugees who relocated to our city. We purchase groceries and distribute them weekly. We invite people to the church building, then have some evangelical classes, answer their questions and after that give them groceries, clothes and the Christian tracts and literature. Unfortunately, some people took food and never came back. But we also have a few people who lived in the church building in the beginning of the war who still come to the services.  

The Bible Institute in Chernivtsy.  

The students are having the time of evangelical involvement right now but earlier this month they had The Minor Prophets (part 2) taught by Vitaly Rodichev and Leadership course taught by Dmitro Galiuk. The evangelical practice of our students takes place in a children's boarding school in Zacarpathian region. The children who reside there are originally from the city of Dnipro. This city is under constant military pressure. The classes will resume in the end of October. 

We are very thankful to all the brethren and congregations who donate towards the needs of the refugees. It's a very critical ministry because so many of then lost literally everything. They are so glad to take the necessary provisions.  

God has everything in control. We panic occasionally but He is faithful and almighty. 

Your brother in Christ,  

Dennis Sopelnik

Outreach in Liberia

BEAR VALLEY BIBLE INSTITUTE-LIBERIA

OPERATIONS REPORT FOR THE MONTH OF August 2022

INTRODUCTION:

It is another wonderful opportunity we have been afforded to share with you the happenings here in Ganta Liberia. The school is making great impart in the lives of churches and the country. The school is being regarded as Sound in Doctrine and her products respected for their works out there. Thank you for all your prayers.

VISIT TO FISH TOWN RIVER GEE COUNTY

My visit to Fist Town, River Gee county, a very hard to reach county from Nimba county was all meant to encourage two of our past students who are there working very well in that part of the country. River Gee county is located in the south eastern part of Liberia. Bear Valley both graduates : Brother Winston Carrick and Brother Julius Nowon both came from that far side of Liberia to school with us in Ganta Nimba county. After their graduation, they both returned to Fish Town and got strictly working together on house to house evangelism and radio preaching which I paid for. They started the first and only congregation for now in Fish town through their efforts in the community and on the Radio. This is the only church in the whole of River Gee county. Julius and Winston have also established a huge agriculture farm from the agriculture knowledge gained from Bear Valley as they work to support themselves whiles they involve in preaching the gospel of our Lord.

During my stay with them, I was able to visit their agriculture farm, I went to the Radio station with them, form part of their weekend visitations and evangelism outreach etc. I was given the opportunity to teach and preached on the Lord's day. On that Sunday, the Lord added to His church, six precious souls. I was also able to meet with their parents who appreciated Bear Valley so much for the level of transformation seen in their children since their returned home from the Bible school.

Three men from the church decided to attend the school next intake. This made me so very happy because for a whole county to just have one church with a huge population in such county, is worrisome. But thank for the two young brother (preachers) who took the lead and for all they are doing in that part of Liberia. It is difficult for them financially, but they are very determined to preach the gospel of Christ no matter what. It was very challenging to get there to them and back but I thank God I made it to them safely and the church was so happy that we can come to them and encourage them. Thanks so much for all your prayers.

PROFILE OF LENIN COOPER

Brother Lenin Cooper has accepted our invitations three time to offer his services to the school. Lenin has been one of our short course teacher for three times now since this ongoing badge on students.

Lenin currently lived with His wife and son in Monrovia and teaches at the Liberia Bible College. He is a 2015 graduate from the School of Biblical Studies located in Jos, Nigeria. He holds a BA Degree in Biblical Studies. He also hold a Diploma in Advance English from the Sunset International Bible Institute accredited by the state of Texas, USA

Lenin was born on August 9, 1989. He is currently the assistant preacher for the Church of Christ that meet at Tower Hill, RIA high way. He said His passage is to bring many people to Christ.

In my opinion, he is a good teacher and someone willing to work for God. He has gone with us twice to our campaign and county lectureship and has come to Ganta on invitation to preach and teach.

APPRECIATION / CONCLUSION

(An Extension of the)

Bear Valley Bible Institute of Denver, Colorado, USA

ACTIVITY OPERATION REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER, 2022

Full Time and the Extended Programs 

INTRODUCTION                    

Greetings to you beloved in the Lord! On behalf of the administration and the students of the Kenema Bear Valley Bible Institute Sierra Leone, I want to open this write up by giving thanks and acknowledgement to God Almighty for His love that He continues to bestow upon us. We are grateful to Him for this opportunity again to share with you the continuous outcome of the work that is going on in Sierra Leone here. The month of September served as another remarkable month for us; it was so because some exciting activities took place here. Some of these activities included an evangelistic campaign, conversion of souls and the restorations of some brethren, lectureship, and the continuation of academic activities. Please may you keep on reading for the details as they are arranged under the following subheadings:

EVANGELISTIC CAMPAIGN, CONVERSION OF SOULS AND RESTORATION OF BRETHREN

The motive of Bear Valley worldwide, that is, to take the gospel to every soul “Until all have heard” and are saved is really commendable. It is God’s desire truly that no one should perish but come to repentance (2 Peter 3.9), and it was in light of this that we embarked on another successful evangelistic campaign in September. This time around, we directed our campaign to Pujehun, the southern part of Sierra Leone. Pujehun is 102 Miles away from Kenema. It is the headquarter town of Pujehun District. We decided to go to Pujehun because the brethren at the congregation there requested that we go there to help strengthen the congregation and help to evangelize the area. The Pujehun congregation was established in 2009 through the WBS correspondence which is handled by Brother Jacob Sesay till date. When the congregation was established, there was no preacher that would lead those converts. They made a request to Brother Jacob to be going there to be teaching them, but he informed them that he is unable to do that, but that he would seek for someone to send there. He sought for one Liberian brother, Martin Gashua (around 73 years now), who resides at Bandajuma around the territory of Pujehun. Brother Martin has been the preacher there since then till now. Since the time that the congregation was established till now, they have a membership of 12 brethren, who do not even all come regularly. During the one week spent, we engaged the congregation and held a meeting. They told us a lot of factors that have been contributing to poor growth of the Lord’s Church there. These factors range from ineffective leadership, lack of interest in evangelism, lack of effective preacher who is committed to the work that can motivate others, lack of sound biblical teachers, etc. With all of these, we decided to encourage one brother among them who stays in Pujehun there, Brother Vincent, who is a graduate of the 21st Century Global Mission, to be serving as an assistant preacher to Brother Martin who stays somehow far. Brother Vincent accepted but also alerted us that he is a Bike Rider, therefore, his effectiveness in the work of the Church is questionable. However, we told the congregation that since it is the Lord’s desire that His church functions effectively everywhere, we would include them on our external mission list so that our staff and the students would be going there. Having said all of these, I want to let you understand dear reader that Pujehun is a very fertile town for the Gospel to be received. The people of Pujehun just need someone to teach them and they are ready to accept the truth. So for the one week we spent there, 10 souls were converted and 4 brethren who left the congregation long ago were restored. We believed that we could do more but for almost 3 days, we could not preach because it was raining. But God is to be praised for those He added to the congregation at Pujehun. During our regular weekly evangelism outreaches, 3 souls were converted. Please may we pray for those new converts and for the Church at Pujehun. We want to emphatically let you know our supporters that evangelistic campaigns and our weekend evangelism outreaches are very rewarding; do not hesitate to send in whatever financial support you have. All will be and has been used for all the intended purposes.

RESUMPTION OF THE SECOND SEMESTER FOR THE EXTENDED PROGRAM

You will recall that in our August report, we informed you that the first semester year one for the extended program came to an end and that they were expected to resume on September 3, 2022 for the continuation of their studies. Indeed, all the 15 students resumed except one, Adamson Brima who did not come back again because of family responsibilities. So right now, we have 14 students in the extended program all together. We are grateful for all our students, especially in relation to their commitment to their studies and the work of the Lord.

LECTURESHIP

In the month of September, we held a very successful and timely lectureship which was themed, “UNDERSTANDING THE NEED FOR EFFECTIVE BIBLICAL LEADERSHIP IN A LOCAL CHURCH.” The purpose of this lectureship was to begin to teach the brethren in the local congregations in Kenema about the organization of the Lord’s Church, and what impacts that has on the growth of individual Christians and the congregations as a whole. The lectureship was attended by 188 brethren from the four local congregations in Kenema, even though we had one of our speakers from Freetown. Presently, there is no congregation in Kenema with all complete Biblically organized leadership, though some of the congregations here have spent many years in existence. Therefore, it is the desire of the KBVBI to continue to teach the brethren so that in a short while, men will rise up who have met the biblical qualifications and are ready to serve with humility to be elders and deacons in local congregations here. This challenge of ineffective leadership is not only limited to Kenema; many congregations in Sierra Leone also follow suit.

THE DIRECTOR’S MARRIAGE INVITATION

In order to continue to be more effective in the work of God, Brother Peter Sahr Makundu has decided to seek for a helper in the person of sister Patience Boima. We have decided to spend life together and raise up a Christian family. The marriage is scheduled to take place on the 2nd and the 3rd December, 2022, at Kenema here. On this note, we are specially inviting all of you; we require your prayers, guidance and financial support in whatever way. We remain grateful to all the brethren who have been counselling us. We anticipate your coming and may the peace of God be with all of us till that time.

STUDENT’S BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION: Eric Fayia Turay

Eric Turay is one of our committed and serious minded students. He worships with the Komendeh Church of Christ. Komendeh is about 8 miles away from Koindu, eastern Sierra Leone. He serves as the assistant preacher at his congregation. Brother Eric was born on January 9, 1986. He was added to the Lord’s Church in 2009. Since then, he has been actively involved in the activities of the Church. Brother Eric is a very humble brother who loves to serve with passion. He personally sought for the opportunity to be enrolled at the KBVBI so he could learn more skills to lead God’s church and bring many to Christ. At the end of this report, Brother Eric’s picture will be attached.

CONCLUSION

It is indeed exciting and fulfilling to be found useful in God’s vineyard. And to you brethren, the lives you are changing in Sierra Leone here through your prayers, financial support, guidance and direction, are all duly acknowledged, and may the Lord bless you richly.

Leadership conference in Arusha

We appreciate you reading our report. Back to the Bible, on one occasion  Jesus said, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven" (Mt. 5:16). The best I can tell, there's no limitation to this. In other words, shining forth a good example is not restricted to the church building, Sunday service, or when just around church members. Truth be told, where it's most important to let our lights shine is at home, on the job, at school, and even on social media sites. True Christianity radiates from within and is on display everywhere and all the time. I have mentioned all of these because most of the time, I do feel more comfortable after encouraging others.

On the other hand, on September 19 – 24, the ASCOP students had reminders of the house-to-house evangelism campaign at Kwa Moromba near Arusha city. This campaign led to the establishment of a total number of 207 new Bible classes, 5 baptisms, and 2 old Bible classes resumed. This is one of the successful campaigns contacted by our students recently. Best plans are being undertaken to ensure all the classes are followed after that campaign.   Also, normal  ACSOP weekly evangelism is continuing. Let’s remember these fellows and the ACSOP in our regular prayers, for the good they are doing in the kingdom of our dear God.

More also on October 6 – 9, the ACSOP held the Tanzania Leadership Conference, having the theme “Church in Action.”    25 Tanzania congregations were represented, 2 represented Kenya, and 1 represented Uganda. A total number of 101 people excluded ACSOP staff and faculty attended.  Each and everyone who attended appreciated all the teaching and effort which made that conference happen.

So also, the regular classes’ studies are going well here at ACSOP. Since September 26, we have started our fourth quarter and last of this year and we are going to wind up on November 25, then graduation on the 26th.

I wish you a great weekend!

OPERATING REPORT FOR THE MONTH OF AUGUST 2022

We continue to enjoy countless blessings and successes in Bear Valley Tamale as the Lord almighty continually releases His unmerited favors and mercies upon us. The month of August 2022, was a month of another great sign of encouragement of a great future for the preaching school in Tamale and the local congregation respectively. We indeed had a very eventful month that gave us hope for the future. May God be praised forever, Amen.

KPALSI SOUTH CONGREGATION

Donation: The church witnessed many signs of maturity in the lives of the members as we continue to grow as a congregation. A female member of the congregation donated ten (10) pieces and children chairs to the congregation to help our children have good seats to sit on. We bless the Lord for her life. She asked the church not to disclose her identity, thank you Jesus.

Building project: With support of our Brother and friend Steven Ashcraft and others as well as the efforts of the church, construction work is speedily advancing to the glory of God. Wiring pipes are laid internally for wiring work in the month of August, while plastering work is speedily done as well. We pray for long life, good health and both spiritual and physical blessings be released into the lives of all who are making efforts for the growth and development of the Lord’s Church in Tamale Kpalsi South and all other places.

SCHOOL FENCE WALL

In the month of August also, funds were released for the continued plastering work on the school building fence wall. The school building as we know is in a square land, which is fully fenced nicely. One and half portions of the fence has already been plastered. In the month of August, the other half and another full portion of it was plastered successfully. We hope in the near future, the Lord will make a way for us to finish with the last part of it to complete all the eternal plastering work of the fence wall.

CAMPAIGN FOR STUDENTS AND VISITATION

We embarked on a major campaign for students and a visitation journey in the month of August across some major areas in Northern Ghana. It was a very fruitful Journey as many congregants, leaders and preachers of the Lord’s church were strengthened. This journey was done by Brother Albert and James respectively, who are both resident staff of Bear Valley Tamale.

We began the journey from Sogon number one and two through to Chamba. From Chamba, we came to Salaga District where we touched on places like Koani, Kulpy and its environs where congregations are located.  We continued our journey through Kpandai to Bimbila and its stretch through to Yendi. We proceeded to Zabzugu, Tatale, Sanguli, Mbolado and its localities where we spent the first day of week which fell on the 21st of August with the Mbolado and Jomoani congregations. While Brother Albert worshiped with the Jomoani Congregation, Brother James was with the Mbolado congregations respectively. Nearby communities that have congregations all came together at these two congregations to receive strengthening from these two brethren. The participation at these two congregations was great, encouraging and edifying respectively.

We continued with the journey on the 22nd of August to Yendi through Gushiegu to Gbingbani in the NorthEast Region, where we had another great evening Bible studies with the congregation and lodged there till the following day. We moved through Bunkurugu through Konkyengbura congregation to Kpinkpanyoung Congregation in the Upper East Region. Indeed it was a great experience to us who were privileged by the grace of God to be part of this wonderful and inspiring journey that was done in the interest of Christ. We met with some preachers at the Bazua Christian Mission to share some little information on our mission with them, but promised to be back on another well scheduled visitation to meet with congregations and leaders of the Church to edify and strengthen them.

Our messages were all centered on; the need to have strong leaders and preachers for the Church, the need to support working preachers to be effective for the Lord’s work, our willingness as a school to assist all congregations with the human resources at all times if seminars or programmes are organized by any congregation or group of congregations and need our assistance, the need to form evangelistic Teams to work together evangelized and strengthen our congregations and most importantly, recruitment of new students for our next academic year. All these messages were largely received with joy and appreciation to the glory of God.

Out of these subjects, Christ was also preached to congregants and non-Christians present in our gatherings to persuade them to come to Christ in Baptism. Two souls were added to the Church, at Chamba and Sanguli. Hallelujah.

OBSERVATION

We observed that:

1.      Consistent visitation to congregations and our passed students are working across the breath and length of Ghana is very instrumental in the future our noble school and the congregations

2.      It is necessary to build a very strong and close relation with the congregations in Northern Ghana by encouraging them to organize seminars and programmes in their locality and have us participate in them to build a very strong bond between the school and some of the congregations, if not all

3.      The proposal of the Evangelistic Teams that has been proposed by Brother Steven and that is been implemented in some areas in Northern Ghana is great idea that needs to be pushed to most areas where brethren has interest in evangelism

4.      We also saw the need to have time to time Biblical empowerment seminars in the school with our passed students and all other church leaders that wish to participate in them.

We are very positive of the future of Bear Valley Tamale and the Church in Northern Ghana as we hope all who have the opportunity to work for the Lord will do it sacrificially to secure their salvation.

God bless us all,

Our next campaign will be held in the fourth week of October. It is going to be held at a small congregation where one of the students preaches. All the speakers for this public preaching are going to be students from the school.

We had a seminar from August 25 and 27 on the theme “The Big Picture of the Bible” in which the regular students from Dobro and some of the other schools participated. Resource persons for the Seminar were Bro. Ken Craig took us through “The Big Picture of the Bible” which has to do with evangelism and Bro. Charlie Nowlias.

THIRD QUARTER REPORT

JULY - SEPTEMBER 2022

INTRODUCTION

Praise be to God the Most High for His tender mercies and love towards us, especially the Kumasi campus for the favor and continuous blessing throughout the quarter.

ACTIVITIES

Activity for the period was mainly academic.

Courses completed this quarter: The Preacher and His work, The Book of 1 Corinthians, Church Planting, and the continuation of the Old Testament History (II). The Ongoing courses in the quarter are Homiletics, Book of Romans, and the second part of Old Testament History (II) part two.

The research writing make-up class for the three new students could not come on due to an unfortunate incidence of attack on preacher Alex Akosa Karikari who was to handle that course.

ACHIEVEMENTS

The students had the opportunity to join the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology Campus Church to Yeji in the Bono East to propagate the gospel of Christ.

It was a week-long program with much enthusiasm to minister the word of God to the world as the Great Commission commands. There were 12 baptisms recorded.

STUDENT PROFILE

Brother Kwasi Tawiah is a soft-spoken gentleman who is disciplined and time conscious. He is punctual and regular, irrespective of his far location to lectures. Though Kwasi’s educational background is low, it did not discourage him to join Bear Valley. He holds a Junior Secondary School certificate as his highest form of education. He is an auto Mechanic by profession. He is married with three wonderful children. He was baptized into the Lord’s church fourteen years ago at Oyoko church of Christ near Effiduase. He is part of the leadership in his local Congregation. Kwasi’s aspiration is to acquire more knowledge in the Bible to broaden his understanding in the word of God.

THIRD QUARTER REPORT, 2022

Introduction

Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. The following are our activities for the third quarter of 2022.

Classroom Activities

There were three courses offered this quarter. First, the gospel according to John, which was taught by brother Emmanuel Odeng Larbi; second, Old Testament 3 (Wisdom Literature), again taught by brother Larbi; and finally, Old Testament 5 (Minor Prophets), which was taught by brother Emmanuel Amoo-Gyimah. This quarter’s classes were activity-packed, especially during the class on wisdom literature when the students were tasked by the instructor to prepare and present sermons on a chapter from the book of Psalms. Due to the nature of our classes, the number of students that were present for these courses varied. However, for this quarter we had numbers ranging from 12 to 21 depending on the number who had not done a course.

Provision of Resources

Each student received Truth for Today commentaries on the book of Romans and a book of sermon outlines by Jerry & Paula Bates this quarter. All of us here at Nsawam express our sincere gratitude to Bear Valley and others for these study aids.

Evangelism Seminar

From 25th August 2022 through 27th August 2022, our students took part in an evangelism seminar, which was hosted at the Ada Road church of Christ in Koforidua by one of our instructors, brother Kwabena Gyan-Mante. Through this seminar, the students gained knowledge and resources on how to win souls for our Lord.

Door-to-Door Evangelism

Right after the workshop, our students embarked on a weeklong door-to-door and public preaching campaign at Ablekuma, NIC, in Accra as part of their academic requirements. This campaign began on Monday, 29th August 2022 through Sunday, 4th September 2022. We are firm in our belief that as we have sown the seed of the kingdom, the Lord’s word will not return to Him void but it will accomplish His pleasure (Isa. 55:11).

Impact on Congregations

Our students continue to make an impact in the various congregations where they serve as preachers and teachers of sacred writings. Some of our students worked with their congregations to organize public gospel campaigns in their communities. The good news is that some of the activities of our students ended up in baptisms. This, we believe, is due to the sound teaching our students received at the feet of our instructors and the appreciation our students have for the urgency of the Lord’s work. Long may this continue is our prayer.   

Loss of student

Amidst the joys and highs, there was one sad news this quarter. We lost one of our students to the icy hands of death. Brother Adams passed away on Friday; September 24, 2022, at 23:30. Brother Adams was a great friend and brother and he will be missed. We look forward to a reunion in the sweet by and by. 

Student Profile

Brother Yaw Boadu is the student we are focusing on for this quarter. He is one of the most diligent students we have and we are glad to have him with us. He was baptized in 2008 and is the sole proprietor of Y.B. Air Conditioners. He is also the preacher for the church at Okushibiade Golden City in Accra. He is happily married with three children. This quarter, brother Boadu was very active in evangelism and selflessly availed himself to help the small congregation at Abehenease during their weeklong public gospel campaign even when he took ill in the course of the campaign. Since beginning his studies, he has been very liberal in his praise of the school. He made the following statement regarding Bear Valley: “If God had not brought me to Bear Valley, I do not think I would have been able to do the work as well as I believe I am doing.”

Conclusion

We are grateful for Bear Valley’s assistance during this quarter. We pray for God’s blessings in this regard. And brethren, please continue to pray for us.

Once again we are glad to provide you with the profile of one of our students.

We introduce to you Isaac Sewornu, one of the students who graduated on July 31, 2022. Isaac was 64 years on March 8th, 2022, and is married to Madam Grace Abena Serwonu both are cocoa farmers. Isaac Sewornu lives at Fosukrom, a farming village in Ahafo Region in Ghana. He worked as an untrained preacher, for six years before he enrolled in this college in 2018. During his studies in this college, the other churches engaged him in their rural communities as their preacher. These churches made collective fundraising and bought a motorcycle for Isaac so that he can visit a congregation every month. Bro. Sewornu attended the Awutu Bogyease Middle School in the Central Region and had the Middle School Leaving Certificate. Isaac had no secondary education after Middle School, so he did not receive good grades as per our already-sent transcript. In their provisional results, as we wait for the Bear Valley Certificates we gave him a certificate of completion.

Accra East Ghana student baptizes his wife after personal evangelism class

BEAR VALLEY BIBLE INSTITUTE INTERNATIONAL, ACCRA EAST
THIRD QUARTER REPORTS

Courses taken

The third quarter started on Friday 1st July 2022 and ended on Friday 30th September, 2022. The courses taken within these periods were four: The Life of Jesus, Pre-existence, Birth, and Early Ministry; The Plan of Redemption; Christian Evidences, and Old Testament 2 (The Old Testament History).
New chairs were bought for the school
Within this period of the third quarter, the Coordinator, Mr. Kojo Acquah, and his team presented to the school, Accra East, twenty-five new chairs. The students were very happy when they saw the new chairs. The chairs were very beautiful, well-designed, and comfortable for students' studies. It has beautified our lecture hall. The leadership of Nmai Djorn Church of Christ (Accra East Campus) was also grateful and expressed their appreciation to the school since the chairs will also be used by the church for worship.

Baptism
The students started applying the evangelism methods studied in June 2022. The good news is that it has started yielding good results. Isaac Acquah one of the students, who worships at Ashalley-Botwe Old Town church, started the method in their visitors class and within this quarter he has converted four people. The joyful thing is that out of these four baptized people, one of them is his wife. Isaac was so delighted because for some years he and some brethren have made several attempts to win his wife to Christ but to no avail. For all these years Isaac was using a confrontational style, by arguing and condemning his wife because she was attending a different church. This time Isaac reversed his tactics and changed from confrontational and
condemnation to dialogue. This has yielded a good result and as a result, his wife has given herself for baptism on 25th September 2022.

John Achie Quophy is the preacher of the Boi church of Christ. He also recorded two baptisms. He did both teachings. The two baptisms occurred in August and September 2022.

Report on the students
The students’ performances were very encouraging. They were very committed to classes. They were punctual and regular. In addition to this, they also responded to class tests and discussions. There were a few who, because of their job schedules, were not able to attend classes regularly.

The average attendance for this third quarter is twelve. Currently, I have total students of eighteen. One of them, Vincent Tamatey had a motorcycle accident and has not yet recovered fully. To sustain the students and also to make Bear Valley Accra East one of the effective schools, I encourage them and advise them to take the courses seriously.
House-to-House Evangelism
Within this period, some of the students were sent to Gomoa Asebu-Pomadze for house-to-house evangelism and edified the new church planted by Nmai Djorn church of Christ which was supported by the students of Bear Valley, Accra East. The fallen brethren within those two communities were targeted so we were able to locate some and talked to them. By God’s grace some were restored back to the fold and as a result, have increased their church attendance.

On 23rd-25th September 2022, eleven Accra East students went to Gomoa AsebuPomadze for house-to-house evangelism. In the same way, they also edified the church. This is the second time we have gone there in our numbers. However, what we are lacking is follow-up. Since Nmai Djorn church of Christ, which is the main sponsor of these projects, does not have the financial strength massive and effective evangelism is still lacking. Some of the students who took part in the third evangelism at Asebu-Pomadze were, Benjamin Forson, John Achie Quophy, Daniel Nkansah, Akwasi Mamah, Moses Antobam, Isaac Larbi, Cecil Larbi, Da-costa Asare, etc. On Sunday 25th, the Bible class and the sermons were handled by Benjamin Forson and John Achie Quophy. The people of Gomoa are the largest indigenous Fante groups in the Central Region of
Ghana. Their communities are divided into three districts, Gomoa Central, Gomoa East, and Gomoa West. They have many communities with vast lands. Some of their communities are growing at a fast pace, but sadly many are growing without a church of Christ. So it is for this reason that we have focused our evangelism in Gomoa Central, particularly the communities which share borders with Winneba and Swedru. We hope God will bless this mustard seed to grow to yield more churches of Christ in those communities.
The Projections
1. I have planned to work hard so that more students will be enrolled as students of Bear Valley to acquire training to be able to conform to the image of Christ. Also to help defend, advance and uphold the true gospel of Christ.
2. I have designed a program on how the two churches I have planted (Nmai Djorn church of Christ and Santor church of Christ, in Greater Accra) will organize joint worship once a year to raise money to support the rural evangelism of the students of Bear Valley, Accra East.
3. It is my plan that if God gives me life, I will ensure that the church of Christ will be planted in all the fifteen communities across Winneba and Swedru road (in Gomoa Central).

Lima school finishes course on apologetics

Peace and love of God be with you all,

It is a pleasure to share with you some notes to keep you updated on the progress of the institute here in Peru.

After some consideration we made the decision to return to our old location, I mean the meeting place of the Church of Christ in America. Now that things are returning to normal after the pandemic, we believe that returning to this location will influence the increase in students in the face-to-face mode. We will continue to present the courses in the virtual modality for students who are outside of Lima, but the priority will always be the face-to-face modality.

We have concluded the “Apology” course with Abraham Alata in the month of September, I want to share some thoughts about the course from two students.

“About the Apologetics course, it was good to take it, I have learned a lot because we learned how to approach a person who does not even believe in God, and those who know about God but who are going in the wrong direction and present a good defense using the word of God and understanding the history about the concepts of faith and reason was very interesting to see that perspective of the events that some philosophers presented their declarations and caused conflicts in society in ancient times, thank you very much, brother Juan, God bless you” (Mariela Ramirez ).

“The apology course, personally super interesting, I have learned a lot about apologetics, I know that this will help me a lot to develop better as a Christian and I hope to be of help where I congregate. For me it was something that I did not know. We also had a good teacher like Abraham , who had a lot of patience. I say it for myself, thank you brother for presenting these much-needed lessons for every Christian” (Ethel Lapa).

On Saturday, October 8, we began the "Oratory" course with Andrés Núñez. For this course we have 7 students enrolled. In addition, we delivered two certificates of participation to two of our students who have completed their training program. José Medina is a member of the Church of Christ in Comas (north of Lima) and Alejandro Berrío is a member of the Church of Christ in Villa Alejandro (in the south of Lima). Each certificate was delivered in the congregation of which they are members.

We appreciate all the efforts that are made so that the extensions continue to give instruction to their respective students, including us here in Peru.

West Coast Ghana school conducts open-air meetings

OPERATIONAL REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER, 2022

1.     CLASSROOM WORK

For the most part of September, the students were on vacation (from 1st September – 26th September). They reported to school on 26th September (Monday). All ten full-time students are safely back on campus for the final term of the two-year academic journey.  Studies started on Tuesday (27th September) where the students were taken through a short course on the epistles of John and Jude. This course was supposed to be taught the last term but because of preparations for the annual lectureship, it was pushed to the first week of this term. 

Academic work is still running smoothly for part-time students. They are currently in the first term of their two years of study. The courses studied in September include Paul’s epistles to the Thessalonians, the book of Romans, and the gospel of Luke. 

2.     PERSONAL EVANGELISM AND BAPTISM

Evangelism was very effective this month. Some of our alumni in collaboration with the church of Christ, Effia-kuma organized a week-long house-to-house and public preaching to spread the good news about the Lord. The School’s public address system was used for the night public preaching. Two of our past students also organized gospel campaigns in their respective congregations. In one of them, our Principal was invited to go and speak about New Testament worship. Not only that, but our current students were also involved in personal evangelism, and some souls were baptized. In all, God rewarded these efforts with twenty-three (23) baptisms. 

 Thank you.

Joshua.

Kasoa, Ghana school plans new church plant

BEAR VALLEY BIBLE INSTITUTE – PAPAASE (KASOA, GHANA)

REPORT FOR THE SECOND QUARTER (JULY TO SEPTEMBER) 2022 

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ has taken us through another quarter. As a result of this, the Bear Valley Bible Institute-Papase (Kasoa-Ghana) is presenting a review for the third quarter (July to September) of the year 2022. 

However, the report cannot be done without first of all expressing our gratitude to the Almighty God for His love and heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to brethren who over the years, continue to sponsor the institution throughout the entire world.

I.            PLANTING OF CHURCHES

Prospecting studies have already begun with the intention of planting the Lord’s church at Mankomeba , which is the next town after Papaase in the Central Region of Ghana. It was therefore welcome news when we heard that an evangelistic team had been put in place by Bear Valley USA to help in such programs. 

Our plan includes the students visiting the town on the 3rd and 4th of October 2022 for data collection, and to hit the ground running for next year’s open-air gospel meeting and house-to-house evangelism.

II.            CAMPAIGN FOR NEW STUDENTS

For the continuality of the Weekend School at Papaase, students continue visiting sister churches campaigning for new students. Such a move has yielded a new student. 

III.            OFFICE EQUIPMENT

We are glad to announce that the office in the school is taking good shape. A laptop and printer have been supplied to the office. Management and the entire body of students are grateful to those through whom such equipment is supplied.  

IV.            DISTINGUISH STUDENT

Our distinguished student for the quarter is Brother Frank Nyarko. The hard-working student, Frank, had been appointed the full-time preacher for the Lord’s church at Papaase. It is a plus to the school in general and particularly to instructors for producing preachers for the Lord’s churches in Ghana.

Uganda school conducts successful campaign

Greetings brothers.

It's a great privilege that we should all be alive. We are so happy for the good life God is still giving us.

Beyond all, the protection He gave us during our trip of evangelism with the students joined by other brothers and the host congregation in the far central part of Uganda to the town of Butunduzi. We were able to set off on October 4 with one accord and we were warmly welcomed by everyone. The gospel seminar consisted of knocking on doors in the morning and preaching open-air campaigns in the evening. The students were able to present good lessons and this gave me a lot of joy and confidence that our toil is not in vain.

In our six days in the place, we were able to knock on 50 homes apart from people we found along the way and on street. Thanks be to God that He now has four new souls in that city. One of our new sisters had heard of our coming. She was from another district. but when she heard we were coming, she spent her own money on bus fare to come to hear the gospel. The gospel did its job and she was one of the four who obeyed.

This lady has gone back home and has requested that we send a preacher to her village who will be able to work there to see that people know Christ. She doesn't want to miss worship. Ideally, one of our men who is graduating soon will be able to help preach in this area. I feel like this is a place where God should be having many people. We will keep on praying for it.

Our students are reporting back on Friday and will be in class with brother Mark Reynolds. He will be teaching the book of Hebrews from October 24-28. Continue to pray for their safe journey mercies as they prepare for the last quarter.

Thank you so much! Thank you for supporting the Bear Valley Bible Institute in Uganda.

Yours in Christ,

Raymond

Many good projects in Zimbabwe

INTRODUCTION

Jesus said, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” BVBIZ is part of the answer to this commission. The school exists to equip and mold labourers for this daunting task. The agenda is to continue equipping faithful men and women for this cause. In the month of September, BVBIZ continued to advance this agenda in a variety ways. Of course, this could not have been possible without the partnership we share with you. This report is a capsule of some of the things the school was able to do in September.

CURRICULUM

The new term began on the 5th of September. All students came back to school. The following subjects are being taught this term; Homiletics 1, Hermeneutics 1, Acts of the Apostles, OT History (Joshua-Esther), Galatians (SC), 1 & 2 Thessalonians  (SC), Entrepreneurship Skills Development 1(SC), Introduction to computers , Sign Language and  Horticulture (SC)

PROJECTS

BVBIZ continues with its drive to have different project on site. Besides providing some income to the school, one of their purposes is to provide life survival skills to the students. The horticulture and broiler projects are ongoing but this month we report on two of the projects

FISH PROJECT

The school had always wanted to have a fish project within its portfolio of projects. The digging of fish ponds has started.

LAYERS

The layers project rolled to life in on the 15th of September. From the funds that you donated, 150 birds were bought from the target of 300. Despite the inability to meet the target, those bought will make a difference. Production is now averaging 110 eggs per day. BVBIZ wishes to thank those who made this project a reality.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Preachers Retreat

There shall be a preachers retreat scheduled to take place from the 26th -28th of October. All preachers are invited to attend this program. Several programs geared towards rejuvenating the preacher and his ministry are on the cards. More details with regard to this program shall be made in the subsequent report.

Graduation

The school shall hold its third graduation ceremony on the 29th of October beginning at 10am. All stakeholders are being invited to this momentous occasion. The graduation will be pressed by the BVBIZ’s first ever graduation lecture which will take place at 4.30pm on the 28th of the same month. This lecture is code named the Isaiah Suwari Memorial lecture. The intention is to keep on instilling the BVBIZ founding principles alive as the school remembers its pioneer. All are invited.

Sign Language Training

The school shall host sign language training for all preachers from the 22nd -26th of October. BVBIZ’s emphasis in sign language training is bearing fruit as many are graduating with this necessary skill. Everyone in the world has a right to salvation despite any physical challenge. BVBIZ is slowly becoming a panacea in this area. This training will precede the preacher’s retreat and graduation as highlighted above. Each participant will be asked to pay $20.

LEADERSHIP WORKSHOP

On the 10th of September, leaders from various congregations in Mashonaland West converged in Kadoma for a leadership training workshop. Over 40 men attended. Almost every congregation in the province was represented. The main concern was church administration and governance. The BVBIZ director was privileged to be the facilitator of the program on the day.

EVANGELISM

Both full time and part time continued with their evangelism practicum in September. Great appreciation continues to go the congregations hosting these students through their provision of food, accommodation and their general upkeep. 15 were baptized whilst 8 were restored. To God be the glory!

10 more baptisms in Guinea

September 2022 Activity Report

Introduction:

The Christian's work is one of imitation of the Lord's way of life recorded on the pages of the New Testament. In 1 Corinthians 11:1 the apostle Paul said to imatate him "even as l also am of Christ". Thus, the Gueckedou Bear Valley Bible Institute composed of staff, students and other workers is no exception. In the month of September, we have amongst other activities endeavored to imitate the Lord in teaching, in prayer and in charitable works as outlined below. Follow with us as we enlighten you in a 6 points report of what transpired here in September.

I- Teaching / Classroom:

Since we are to entrust the word of God to faithful men who will be able to teach others also, and as part of our obligation for which we are supported, our staff members engaged the students in the following 4 courses:

1- Discipleship from 01 to 07 September, taught by Tamba Emmanuel Kamano

2- Personal Evangelism from 08 to 15 September, taught by Niouma 2 Kamano

3- Hermeneutics 1 from 16 to 23 September, taught by Antoine Fassa Tolno.

4- Scheme of Redemption from 26 Sept to 03 Oct 2022 taught by Balla Kamano.

Due to the necessity of required credit hours, the last course extends until October 03.

There was an evaluation of the students following the end of every course and the results were satisfactory.

II- Evangelism:

One of the major activities which we as Christians can and should do to imitate the Lord who went about everywhere preaching the kingdom is to evangelise for the salvation of lost souls. In the month of September, the Bear Valley Bible Institute conducted various preaching activities in different areas all of which resulted to 10 baptisms. May God be glorified for this.

III- Youth Bible camp:

To express our heart felt desire for the oneness in faith and practice as examplified by Jesus with the Father, the Gueckedou Bear Valley students also attended the "Youth Bible Camp" in N'zerekore. Indeed a number of participants of several congregations in Gueckedou responded massively to the invitation of our brethren, the Bellevue church of Christ - N'zerekore to share the word of God on the theme "Salvation and the Christian's Responsibility".

A 20-seated minibus vehicle and 4 motorbikes each carrying 2 persons were made available through financial support for all the above named participants by the top administration of the Gueckedou Bear Valley Bible Institute.

A special prayer period was observered before the trip and the gracious Lord answered it to his glory. It was such a favorable time so that the evangelists who were present ceased the opportunity to preach peace and unity in the faith.

IV- Spiritual working materials /Bibles:

In order to facilitate further research work for our next coming graduates, we have asked and received 12 copies of the "Thompson Chain References Bible". These will be a general award or gift, an encouragement to the 12 students who will be certificated on graduation day.

V- Graduation:

We will like to use this means through this report to inform and cordially invite you to the graduation ceremony of the second batch of students from the Gueckedou Bear Valley Bible Institute. The program is scheduled to take place here at the Institute's premises at Bambo Antenne in Gueckedou on 29th October 2022.

We also solicit your spiritual, moral, material and especially financial contributions for the success of the ceremony.

VI- Thanks and Appreciations:

We thank the God that we serve for his infinite love.

We also thank the Bear Valley International for the unending moral, spiritual, material and financial support by which we are further motivated to work for the salvation of lost souls.

Our appreciations to our Coordinator, Steven Ashcraft for his love and determination to grow the church of Christ in Guinea.

We thank brother Francis Musa for his willingness to share with us his technical and spirituel experiences in the work of God.

Brothers Barry Baggott, Ken Stanley and all other brothers and sisters are to be commended for their every support in the work of the church of God in Guinea

We pray that God will bless you all abundantly and that God may use us mightily in His vineyard for the glory of His name.

Peru school completes course on God's Plan of Salvation

Thank God the month of August has been a month of very uplifting and fruitful classes on "The Plan of Redemption". We had the participation of 5 students: 4 formal students and 1 guest student.

As scheduled we covered the material that we had scheduled to cover. We also had a group research and presentation project on "Spiritual Blessings in Christ" as part of the course requirements. They all did a good job.

We started the course "Christian Evidences", which is being presented by brother Abraham Alata.

I would like to share some thoughts from Institute students about the previous course.

“I am putting together a summary of God's entire plan of redemption. I was reflecting on my experience as a child of God and the grace received from our Lord Jesus Christ and I thought about how God the Father had me in his mind before the foundation of the world, I feel very grateful within my heart I will never be able to repay so much blessing from God will only be able to follow his commandments and above all Matthew 28:18-20 to share his holy gospel” (Alejandro Manrique M.)

“There is nothing more rewarding than studying the Bible. Personally, I feel very happy for the opportunity to have received the course "Plan of Redemption" the one that was in the mind of God before the foundation of the world for humanity, spoken by the holy prophets, fulfilled in Christ and revealed through the holy apostles and today teaching through his servants what our brother Juan Abanto is like. I am very grateful for this work that is done and those who contribute to the irrigation of the doctrine of our Lord " (Humberto Gonzales)

It has been a pleasure to share this course with the brothers of the institute, we hope with the favor of God, to continue with this academic project. Thank you for the efforts made to find resources and for the spiritual support of all involved.
