Korea UBF's General Director David K. gave a message with the title, "Terrible Times and the Scripture," from 2 Timothy 3:14-17. Through the message, David K. testified that it was only the work of God's word which was God-breathed since God initiated the UBF ministry 50 years ago and pioneered 91 nations thus far, beginning with Korea. He also said that only the word of God is the hope of salvation for campus souls in this generation and the hope of expanding his kingdom in these terrible times.

All the seminar speakers presented with confident faith that God had done all these great things in the UBF ministry for the past 50 years based on the word of God.  

Through this, all the wives and sisters renewed their desire to love and depend on the word of God with their whole hearts. One of the seminar speakers who was moved by all the attendees’ desire for Jesus, encouraged them saying "You are all beautiful flowers of the UBF campus ministry." All the wives and sisters were greatly encouraged by this since they've always been serving God's ministry behind the scenes. They were all happy and renewed God's calling, remembering how precious they are before God when they believe and obey the word of God. They also renewed their clear identity as beautiful flowers of the UBF campus ministry as God's chosen servants.

After finishing the seminar, most of them earnestly requested the re-training on a regular basis for them because it was a good opportunity for them to be revived spiritually through the word of God by UBF staff leaders. It also was a good chance for them to learn to have good fellowship with co-workers from other chapters through the seminar.     

May God continue to bless each of them to be used by him as spiritual mothers for his flocks at the campuses in this generation through continuing their education on a regular basis.
