The Pretoria UBF in South Africa Spring Bible Conference was successfully held from September 20-22, 2024, despite recent challenges in securing a venue. Roles were assigned to ensure smooth preparation, and prayer meetings began five weeks prior, held twice weekly in a hybrid format. The conference theme was "Where Your Treasure Is," focusing on worshiping the true living God. Three biblical passages were explored: Exodus 20:1-21, Matthew 6:19-33, and Genesis 22:1-19, with messages delivered by Acene, Brian, and Archie, respectively. There were baptisms of seven brothers and two sisters, with a symbolic baptism due to cold weather. Additionally, seven new growing leaders were appointed. The chapter directors reflected on their first year in leadership, expressing gratitude for the support received, particularly from Joshua Suh and a dedicated team.

Prayer topics include the study of new Bible books for Sunday worship services, the spiritual growth of those who were baptized as disciples of Jesus, the development of newly appointed leaders, the establishment of three house churches, and the formation of new chapters in Eswatini and Mozambique, along with the growth of the Campus Bible Fellowship and Teen Bible Fellowship.
