Bear Valley Bible Institute Liberia
Ganta, Liberia
DESCRIPTION
The Bear Valley Bible Institute in Liberia was started in February 2016 with the visit of brothers Steven Ashcraft and Keith Kasarjian. During their visit to Liberia, they met with thirty-eight potential students, and classes began in August 2016.
Liberia, officially the Republic of Liberia, is a country on the West African coast and is bordered by Sierra Leone to its west, Guinea to its north, and the Ivory Coast to its east. The history of Liberia has been a very challenging one with 16 years of brutal civil wars and political coups that killed over 300,000 people. A deadly Ebola crisis and most recently the Corona Virus also killed lots of people.
Bear Valley Bible Institute Extension school in Liberia is located in Ganta city, which is the second largest city in Liberia, with an estimated population right now of 84,000. Ganta is the commercial capital of Nimba County. There are currently five local congregations of the Lord’s Church in Ganta and all of them are very active and growing. These are all happening because of the presence of the school in the county. Over 40 new congregations of the Lord’s Church have been started as a result of the school so far. Personal evangelism and Gospel campaigns have been the strength of the school and there are more souls to win for Christ.
The main goal of the school in Liberia is to train men who will go out to fulfill the Great Commission of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in this part of the world.
Since the inception of the school, we have been blessed with three full-time instructors. Joel adding to the staff now makes four for the school. We are also blessed to have many sound brothers coming in to teach short courses from time to time. The following are the permanent teaching staff of the school in Liberia. Robert P. Dahn, Jr., Fester G. Lee, Oultarcious D. K. Zakamah, Joel T. Weah.
