Report of Bear Valley Bible Weekend School, Ondo State between August - October 2021.
To God be the glory for His unsearchable riches in Christ Jesus. I want to thank God’s instruments like Brother Keith, Brother Chad, Brother Steven, Brother Makinde, and Bear Family for granting Ondo City via Ondo State access to Biblical training through Bear Valley Bible institute, international. We are indeed grateful and mindful of your kind consideration and inclusion into Bear Valley Schools. We say thank you.
Evangelism: as part of the mandate of the Bear Valley Schools to inculcate evangelistic fervor in the heart of the students, we all went out to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to the people on 30 October 2021. We had two centers in Ondo State, Ondo City, and Akure City study center.
In Ondo City center, 11 students went out for preaching with two instructors. We were able to reach out to residents of Araromi Street and Araromi Close in the Yaba area of Ondo City, With 8 prospective names wanting more serious studies after the preaching exercise. We give God the glory.
Also, in the Akure center, 12 students went out for preaching the gospel with two instructors. They had open-air preaching and house-to-house evangelism in the Leo area of Akure city. The preaching exercise went well to the glory of God, with some prospects to follow up.
Classroom activities: The School in Ondo State started classroom activities on the first Saturday of August 2021. Already, we had two centers. In Ondo center, Fasonu Victor taught Research and Writing 1, For August Classes, while in Akure center Godwin Emmanuel taught Pentateuch for August Classes as well. By September 2021, I, Fasonu Victor went to Akure center to teach Research and Writing 1, while Godwin Emmanuel taught Pentateuch in Ondo study center in the same September 2021. In October 2021, Rowland Matthew taught The Life of Christ – Matthew in Ondo study center, while in Akure study center, Philemon Ohaebuka taught The Life of Christ – Mark.

Statistically, the two centers have 18 brothers, 8 Sisters, making the total of 28 students in the Ondo State Bear Valley weekend program.
Worthy of note is one of the students by name of Felix Sani. This brother is very active, attentive, and ready to learn in the classroom. His eagerness to learn proves beyond a reasonable doubt. His age is around 63 years old with a large family of 8. He never missed classes since the inception of the Bible training Class. He is a substance farmer by profession with little income, but he continues to learn the Bible with great joy. All the instructors attested to his apt attitude toward learning. He is a member of the local church where l ministers the gospel of Christ. I hope he will become a minister of the gospel after the training.
Conclusively, We are indeed thankful to the Bear Valley family for their continuous work and support in the field of training men for the Master’s use. Thank you for allowing us to be part of the Schools in Ondo State. We will continue to play a glorious part in fulfilling the mandate of the School in our dear State.
