Purpose of UBF Founders Day
Founders Day is a special time to remember God’s work through UBF and to give thanks for His servants who pioneered the gospel. It aims to inspire the next generation—especially youth—by highlighting the power of God’s Word and sharing testimonies of transformed lives. We can clearly see God’s work in the UBF ministry among young people in many different ways, including through the Bible Reading Project. Our goal is to glorify God, strengthen unity across ministries, and encourage deeper commitment to Bible reading and discipleship.
