BEAR VALLEY BIBLE INSTITUTE NIGERIA, OWERRI CENTER REPORT - JANUARY -MARCH 2024
The quarter started in high spirit as all the students enthusiastically attended class. By January ending, we hosted a lectureship with the theme:- STUDYING TO SHOW YOURSELF APPROVED.
We had brethren and unbelievers from different places within Owerri in attendance not minding the challenging security situation and we were blessed with a baptism. Due to certain circumstances here, We organise lessons sometimes weekdays or Sunday evenings depending on situation.
I recommend to you one of our students Dr Obinna Nweze, a medical doctor, a devout student who has consistently supported supported other students financially and also through his financial support made the hosting of our lectureship in January a success.
Presently we have 18 students.
EVANGELISM
Our plans with some congregations in Mbaise area to organise a three day evangelism this quarter yielded result as the event held from 28th to 30th march. Although there was no baptism,vwe believe God will surely give the increase.
Also it will be recalled that I informed us of disunity and lack of love and cooperation among preachers and congregations in Imo State which is occasioned by lack of well trained teachers, preachers and leaders in congregations, we are still working working hard on it and by God's grace the first preachers and church leaders workshop which is being organised by the school will take place in June .
We are still working on the best modality of help to brethren from far locations from Owerri city requesting for arrangements to come to their area and give them lectures, this is dependent on the number of interested students.
We deeply express our sincere gratitude to God, and we really appreciate the parent body and the school authorities for giving us the privilege of having a study center in Owerri Imo state. We will continue to do our best in this service of molding men for the service of God and humanity. We reaffirm our promise to maintain a high standard and surely we will make the school proud.
Yours because of Christ
