The main purpose of this program was: (1) establishing the biblical understanding of worship and (2) offering a praise/worship night to our Chicago UBF community.

God blessed our program and we had total 16 attendees. We had three GBSs based on Ex, Heb, and Eph4/1Co14, which gave us biblically sound understanding of worship with much inspiration. The praise and worship night was also blessed with 30-40 attendees who praised Jesus with one voice. Some attendees even wanted to have this praise and worship night periodically.

Thank you for your support and prayer. I believe your continual support and interest will be a great encouragement to the team members.
