We send our appreciation and greetings to BVBI management. May our good God bless you all immensely in Jesus name (Amen).

The staff and the students of BVBI Ikorodu remain grateful to God for your support. The assistance rendered to us here has made the Gospel of Christ spread wide in our environs. Many are now Christians through your support. Many had become preachers and ministers of the Gospel and congregations as well have been planted in some locations. The Lord will bless you richly in Jesus’ name. Amen.
I remain the servant of God,
