School of Preaching, Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, Nigeria
In the past few years, we have seen a definite need for a preacher school in the area in which we work. We have partnered with Emmanuel Offor, a native Nigerian Christian, to build a preacher school and technical school in Abakaliki, Nigeria. This school is open now and training men to preach the Gospel.
The preacher school is an extension school of the Bear Valley Bible Institute of Denver, CO. This brotherhood school has had a long history of training men to preach. Bear Valley will be providing the staff, curriculum, and other things necessary for the school to function. The preacher school will also be having three degree tracks. First, the school will offer a Certificate of Completion. Second, the school will offer a Bachelor's degree from an American institution. Both of these programs will be located in the main classroom building and will last two years. Thirdly, the school will offer a Master's degree program which will be beneficial to the work there in Nigeria. All of these degree tracks do not charge tuition to the student. The technical school that will be located on the same campus. While the technical school will focus on job skill type learning, it will be of great value to the overall scheme of the school and the Nigeria work. For example: The technical school will help graduates of the preacher school to learn a job skill/trade to be able to support themselves and their family in the field. There are so many congregations too small to support their preachers and this will allow native preachers to work with small congregations to help them grow. The technical school will draw area residents into the
program of study and place them in close contact with Gospel preachers. The
area of The technical school will line up jobs for training that will support both schools so that the preacher school will need minimal American support. Both of these schools hold great promise to the work in Nigeria. We believe the Lord is truly opening a great door for evangelism through this work and these schools.

We are building two schools: a preacher school
and a technical school. The preacher school will be a two year school that
will train Nigerian Christians to preach the Gospel in their Nigerian
context.
the school has a large Muslim population. Bringing Muslim, pagan,
and denominational Christians together, we will place them on the same
campus with Gospel preachers.
We are looking for congregations and/or individuals to
support this work and help build these schools. There are many ways and
needs that need to be met. Please note that all support goes directly
into the work and into whatever area of work you desire. There is no
overhead and no paid staff. Any and all money is sent directly into the
country through trusted Nigerians to do what the money is intended for.
