Steven Sebbale (Uganda- age 39) During his college years he worked at a casino every night as a dealer in Uganda.  With no life purpose at that time, Steven sought a pleasure seeking life which included sexual immorality. In 1998 he came to know God personally after having Bible study with a missionary at the campus, who was sent from Korea UBF to Uganda (Pastor David Kim, Korea UBF director).  It was then that he made a decision to devote himself to God and campus ministry. After his graduation, God provided him with a job and richly blessed him as a successful chef. However, as he became busy running his own business, he forgot God's calling to serve God's ministry. After about 10 long years, he realized the inner emptiness of life without God's calling and vision and returned back to Uganda UBF ministry. Now he and his wife are diligently serving Uganda campus ministry. They are preaching and praying for the revival of  Uganda through the Word of God.     

Augustine Zhdannov (Ukraine, age 36) Was transformed to a preacher from a tramp after having Bible study with a UBF missionary. He has been devoted to serving campus ministry. Moved by God’s forgiveness through a 2000 UBF Bible conference, he left his old sinful life and quit smoking marijuana after 22 years.
Both of them shared their life testimonies at the meeting of 2016 UBF World Mission Report ( Hosted by Korea UBF - the 17th WMR) with the theme " A Holy Nation" on June 5th at Jangchung gymnasium in Seoul Korea.
