I praise and thank God for his marvelous grace for us; in him, we find hope and vision, meaning and purpose.  Here is a mission report about 300 Bible studies with some pictures. At the 50th anniversary in Korea, God gave me a prayer topic of serving 300 one to one Bible studies by establishing 10 Bible study warriors who can serve more than 20 Bible studies this year. So, I shared this prayer topic at Kyung Sung UBF and Yunhee UBF.  When I came back to America, I shared this prayer topic with all the shepherds and shepherdesses at ECC UBF. 

When the disciples heard about this prayer topic, a great vision rose in their hearts to fulfill this prayer topic and to become a Bible study warrior for Jesus Christ. Then, as the Fall semester started we immediately dedicated ourselves to one to one battle; many shepherds and shepherdesses spent several hours at school, staying until late night, fishing and teaching the Bible; soon in the third week of the semester, we served more than 200 Bible studies, then, 233, 245, 255, then, about ten days before the conference, we served 289 Bible studies; new disciples who just had completed Genesis Bible studies during summer also worked hard to fish sheep; an 18 year old freshman served 16 one to one Bible studies, and a newly growing sister served 14 Bible studies; all of us were very excited. Then, right before the Fall Bible conference, which was Oct. 29,30, we served 301 Bible studies! Praise God! We were overjoyed and thanked God for helping us and blessing us. 

God blessed our Conference greatly also. Including 60 new sheep, total 97 people registered for the conference. The title of the conference was, "Look, the Lamb of God!" Five messengers - Sarah Jones, Robert Hagan, Bianca Arreola, Sarah Kim, and Taylor Bell served their messages with all their hearts and strength - their messages were great.  Also, 11 newly growing disciples served Genesis symposium with their life testimonies (thankfully, one of them was my daughter, Sarah Baik) - through this, we could see how God intervened into their lives through the word of God, and many students came to have the desire to participate in Intensive Genesis studies during the winter vacation. Sunday morning, 16 shepherds and shepherdesses served Faith Symposium based on Hebrews 11. Through this, we could see what it practically means to live by faith in God. Now during this semester, we want to focus on one to one Bible study, serving more than 300 one to one Bible studies persistently. Then, when the winter vacation comes, we pray to establish new committed disciples through intensive Genesis Bible studies. Please pray for us.
