The University Bible Fellowship (UBF) in Korea has a new director, Pastor Jae-Heung K., who has served in the ministry for 22 years.

He seeks to maintain unity and integration within the organization while also focusing on the diversity of the younger generation and inheriting the orthodox core values of the Gospel.



Director Kim's primary goal is to restore the vitality of the Word and emphasize its essence. He believes that studying the Bible deeply and continuously is crucial to experiencing the power and joy of the Gospel. He mentions that today's youth have a spiritual thirst, and spiritual revival can occur if this thirst is satisfied through the Word.

Director Kim also aims to rejuvenate overseas missions, especially among the younger generation. He acknowledges that the momentum for missions has weakened but sees an opportunity to revitalize it through increased internationalization and networking. He plans to provide support and systems for members to engage in missions abroad and adapt to the changing cultural landscape.



Regarding the challenges of the next generation, Director Kim addresses issues like youth exodus from church schools, drug problems, and media addiction. He believes the Gospel can solve these issues and emphasizes the importance of helping those struggling. He highlights the value of one-on-one discipleship in guiding individuals toward spiritual growth and transformation.

In his role as director, Kim also emphasizes the need for unity and communication among staff members and aims to create an environment that fosters collaboration and cooperation. He believes that leaders should be actively involved and humble themselves to meet people at their level, adapting to their cultural and generational needs.

Overall, Director Jae-Heung K.'s vision for the UBF in Korea revolves around restoring the Gospel's essence, revitalizing missions, and addressing the challenges and needs of the younger generation while maintaining unity and respect for the organization's traditions and values. He emphasizes the importance of continuous Bible study, prayer, and adaptation to minister to the changing world and generations effectively.
