Dear brethren,
Calvary greetings from Bear Valley Bible Institute, Ondo State, to our beloved brethren! Thanks for your unfailing love, care and support! We are very glad for this wonderful synergy! Also, all thanks goes to the Eldership and all the brethren at Bear Valley Church in Denver, Colorado for their support and sacrifice! We are forever grateful for all you are doing for us in Ondo State and all over the whole nation! Continue to bask in the euphoria of God’s grace, Amen.
Evangelism Report: As a School, we are committed to the work of evangelism. In Ondo City, we engaged our students in evangelism in the following areas on 31st August, 2024. Our students visited Lotogbe area and preached there on the above date for our evangelism outing! The Lotogbe area is another area earmarked for the planting of the Lord’s Church there! All the students were present for the exercise with several prospects! We had five baptisms. One of the baptized persons is my second son, Paul! All glory be to God Almighty, Amen.
Also, in the Akure Center, the students there too were active in the work of evangelism! They went out per our usual habit! The students and the instructors were present in the Ondo Park area! Akure Center is also where we plan to establish the Church in the Ondo park area! Plans are ongoing for the actualization of this project! We desire your prayers as always.
Annual Bible Seminar: All glory to God Almighty for His grace and unlimited blessings we have enjoyed in Him! We organized our Third Annual Bible Seminar on the theme: “Come, let us reason together says the Lord” (Isaiah 1:18). The topics are (1) The difference between Old Testament and New Testament (This topic was handled by Bear Valley Bible instructor from Lagos state, Brother Israel Tajomavwo), and (2) the New Testament Church was handled by our able Regional Director Brother Olufemi Makinde. The program was loaded and rich! Several brethren from different congregations in the State attended the program. Total attendance was 92. Bible literature was shared among the brethren! The school is moving forward to the glory of God, Amen.
Classroom Activities: Class work is also one of the major works of the school! We are doing well.
In Ondo City, Brother Akilapa taught on the topic of the “Godhead” in July; while brother Philemon taught “Galatians” in Akure Center.
