GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS

God blessed the World Mission Department to com​plete the operational manual and to host the vision camp and explore the possible education center and present the 2019 vision camp plan. Five vice-directors worked hard to promote the world mission. Short term mission department made a big progress to support the short term missionaries under M. Richard Choi’s direction. S. Agnes Jordan joined us as the vice director for publication and communication. We are committed to support our new GD Pastor Moses Yoon to carry out his mission for raising up the next generation leaders and sending out missionaries.

I. Purpose

1. The purpose of UBFWMD is to assist UBF general director to carry out the Great Commission of Jesus by sending missionaries based on Matthew 28:19-20.

2. The goals of the UBFWMD are the following:

1) To mobilize, recruit, train, and send missionaries to make disciples of all nations. UBFWMD will function as UBF mission agency within UBF church.

2) To educate missionaries and children of missionaries, native leaders and their children, and church members for their lives of effective evangelism and missions.

3) To secure faculty members and develop education materials, and to build infrastructure like Retreat and Education Centers in order to promote and support silver missions, short-term and long-term missionaries.

4) UBF World Mission Department will hold vision camp to raise up next generation leaders for 2 weeks during the month of July at the location chosen by the chairs and vice-chairs. The operation budget will be submitted to GD each year with the program and location. The main target of the vision camp can be the graduating high school students from all UBF community worldwide.

VI. Exploring Report for the possible UBF Missionary Education and Retreat Center Site By Jacob Lee

Joshua 14:7 “I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh Barnea to explore the land. And I brought him back a report according to my convictions,” 

Pastor Moses Yoon sent me to explore possible UBF Missionary Education and Retreat Center in Africa and Latin America. The exploring journey began Nov 5, 2018 and ended Nov 20, 2018. I flew 23, 346 miles and drove 650 miles for 15 days. As we see the rise of second gens and third gens like the waves of the ocean, it is urgent to build infrastructure to educate them as spiritual leaders. This is the report according to my convictions.

1. Short term mission department sent letter to all who pledged for short term and long term mission. Two short term missionary candidates matched: Keagan Callis to Sri-Lanka, Mingon Kim to Belize in the summer.

2. We will send Christmas cards to all missionaries sent from North America with gifts.
