Ekwendeni – Malawi
May, 2022 Report
Introduction
It is always exciting to share the good news from the Bear Valley School. As we all are aware our brand is to train men to be faithful preachers of the gospel – 2 Timothy 2:2. We are happy to share with you the news that we have received from our students as they have gone to their home congregations to do the practical work of preaching and teaching the word! They will be out until the end of 16 weeks. This period of time will also help us get everything ready before their graduation on the 15th of October, 2022.
The good news has reached us that already in a period of less than a month19 baptisms have been done and 4 souls restored. We are hoping for more good news to share soon!
Preaching and Teaching
As far as teaching is concerned at our Bear Valley Bible Institute – Ekwendeni, all the teachings are completed except one course which will be completed by Brother Donnie in early October before the graduation. This made us use the opportunity well as we have sent the students back to their homes to do the preaching and conduct the lectureships as we teachers will be making sure the preparation for the next bunch of students is ready and also the construction of toilets, shower rooms, and kitchens are completed before October. So far so good, in less than a month, the students are sending us good reports about what they are doing in their homes. We have received news from Pharombe, Mozambique where one student is from. This brother Shadreck has reported that he organized a preaching campaign and 4 souls were added to Christ. We also received a report from Brother Mateyo in Kasungu central Malawi, he preached door to door at the end of May and 8 souls obeyed the gospel. It has really been a good time for our students.
We also had good news from Brothers Takesure Nkhoma and Abishai Makwakwa that they helped 7 souls get saved. This is good news that only in the month of May, 19 souls have been added to the church! We give glory to God!
The construction work of the hostel is completed!
We are excited to report that the construction work has reached the ending point. We have painted it and soon solar power will be installed.
Construction of the toilets has started
As the excitement has filled the atmosphere, we can’t proceed without toilets, shower rooms and kitchen. We are now also happy to report that the toilets are under construction and after that we expect the kitchen done then shower rooms. We hope that before October all these structures will be completed.
We thank God for everything, and mainly for all those who make this possible through support and many prayers. May the Mighty God continue blessing your families as you Think Souls!
As it is rightly said “Until all have heard”!
