July 16-19, Chongro 2 and Suhkyoung UBF held their summer Bible conference with the theme, “The Way Of Life Jesus,” at Winince Conference Center in Kangwha province in Korea. We praise and thank God for richly blessing this conference which was full of grace through the life-giving word of God. The number of attendees was 134 (88 from Chongro 2; 23 from Suhkyoung) including 21 newcomers from Chongro 2 and 2 newcomers from Suhkyoung.

God powerfully used the seven messengers to serve the word of God: Joshua Lee (opening message from Matthew 11:28-30); Song Myoung-Eue (lecture 1 from John 8:1-12,31,32); Yoon Bo-Hyun (lecture 2 from John 5:1-9); Yon Ban-suk (lecture 3 from Luke 23:26-49); Chung Dam-dae (evening lecture 1 from Luke 19:1-10); Faith Whang (evening lecture 2 from John 9:1-12); and Paul Kim (closing message from John 15:1-7).

Sh. Samuel Choi and David Lee were in charge of the messenger training. Among the messengers, sh. Faith Whang has been suffering from his sickness of autonomic nerve palsy, but he delivered a graceful and heart-moving message with resurrection faith, revealing the grace of Jesus who is the light of the world (John 9). Then eight brothers and sisters shared their sincere and graceful testimonies. Their names are Joy Shin, Lee Yoon-Jung, Kim Min-Soo, Kim Chan-Joong, Sohn Dong-Yon, You Seung-Ki, Song Ki- Hoon, and Song Jae-Ho.

The most important feature of this conference was that all our young leaders willingly participated in the program and organized the drama, praise, and the festival night from the beginning to the end, showing the great talent that they have. We saw that they all were so happy in the presence of God as they served the program. God also used the UCC video presentation preciously to open the hearts of the newcomers and all the attendees.

We are going to establish a disciples meeting team (called Luke Team) on Saturdays to welcome the newcomers back. Please pray for the new comers to be raised as disciples of Jesus through the team meeting. Especially pray for sh. Yeum Joon-Sop who will serve the meeting. Once again we praise and thank God for blessing this conference abundantly.
