In 2013, God opened a way for Missionary J*ohn Jeong to come to Albany, NY as he found an engineering position. Since then, his wife G*race Jeong and their two sons J*ohn & J*oseph have joined Albany UBF. There are many colleges in Albany such as SUNY-Albany, RPI (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute) and Hudson valley community college. God sent M*oses Kim (currently at Philadelphia UBF) as the first bible student in 2013, who was then a junior at RPI. J*ohn Jeong’s family has been supporting God’s flock locally and remotely, working with media for online services and conferences.

In 2021, God blessed S*unny and S*hainy (faithful bible study members) to get H1B (working VISA) approvals. They have been working and studying simultaneously for several years in order to maintain their legal status in the United States. By God’s grace, their applications for H1B were selected from a lottery and both got approvals this year. Thank God! We continue to pray for their spiritual growth. We also pray for the continual spiritual growth of J*ohn and G*race Jeong's two sons – J*ohn and J*oseph.
