How You Can Help
As with any other endeavor, money is a vital part of making
things happen. The Bear Valley Bible Institute of Denver
is no exception. Faculty, staff, facilities and operational
costs are all a part of the cost of training preachers. But
think for a moment about the cost if we don't train preachers.
The Bear Valley Bible Institute is a MISSION WORK.
Most of our graduates go into the mission field. Many work in very small congregations where the Church is just getting started. More still go into foreign missions to reach the lost. It has been estimated (very conservatively) that over 40,000 souls have been saved by the work our Lord through our graduates all over the world. We are about training people to do that kind of work - the kind of work that reaches out to a lost and dying world.
You can be a part of this work.
There are a number of ways you can be a part of this exciting work.
Pray for the success of this work
Regardless of any other activity you choose to do to help
us here at the Institute, we ask that you pray fervently
for the work that we do here. Pray for the lost to continue
to be reached through these efforts and pray for more men
and women to dedicate themselves to full-time ministry work
in the Lord's Kingdom.
Financially support a student
The number one reason many of those who desire to come to
Bear valley to be trained don't get here is support. We charge
NO TUITION at Bear Valley, but the program is too intensive
for the student to hold down a job while attending the Institute.
Your monthly donation (no matter how small) can be the difference
between a student making it to the Institute or not.
Financially support an instructor or staff member
Our instructors must raise their support as well. These
dedicated men have years of experience and knowledge to share
with our students. This experience is a vital part of the
work here. Without quality instructors to teach our students,
we don't need students. Your donations to help an instructor
can be a lasting contribution to the Lord's work. One instructor
can influence hundreds of students over the years and those
students can in turn influence thousands.
Financially support the operation of the Institute
While The Bear Valley congregation and many others provide
financial support for operating the Institute, as we grow,
there is need for more. Facilities, staff, equipment and
other expenses are required to keep the work going. Your
donation can help us operate the school. If there is no school
to operate, there is no need for instructors or students.
Financially support the operation of our foreign Extension Centers
While the work overseas continues to explode we are always in need of funds to help support students, staff and help pay the costs of travel for sound instructors. You missions money can put native preachers into the field in their own lands, reaching their own people.
