By the grace of God, the 37th English Forum was held under the theme, "UBF Publication Ministry: To Strengthen Campus Mission." Through his keynote message, P. Ron powerfully emphasized that the two primary purposes of UBF Publication Ministry are "to defend gospel faith" and "to inspire gospel faith." Dr. Mark Yang presented an inspiring lecture on "Publication Ministry: Vision and Practice," while Dr. Charles Kim effectively shared the message "UBF Press: Back to the Bible," highlighting the biblical foundation and mission of UBF publications. During the group discussion sessions, participants shared the importance of documenting and preserving the history of God's work on each continent, as well as the vital role of publication ministry in passing on the legacy of faith to future generations.

Through this forum, we were reminded that publication ministry is not merely a secondary ministry supporting campus mission, but an essential and strategic means by which God strengthens and advances His work on campus mission. We pray that God will raise up many more UBF authors and that publication ministry will continue to flourish for the advancement of the gospel and the strengthening of campus mission. More than 70 coworkers from around the world participated in this forum. We are especially grateful for the participation of the members of the Continental Pastoral Cohorts.

Dear UBF Mission Coworkers,
The 37th UBF Online Forum will be held on Saturday, July 18, 2026. The theme of this Forum is Series-I, “UBF Publication Mission: To Strengthen Campus Ministry. With the same theme, we will have series-II soon. Throughout church history, God has used not only preaching but also the written word to spread the gospel, and shape future generations. Publication ministry is a strategic extension of the Great Commission, enabling the message of Christ to reach people beyond the limits of time, geography, and personal contact. As we seek to strengthen campus ministry, publication ministry should not be viewed merely as a supporting activity but as a vital mission strategy. May God continue to raise gifted writers, publishers, and supporters among us who will work together to advance the gospel through publication ministry for the strengthening of campus mission and world evangelization.
We invite you to attend this forum and join us in praying for the publication mission as well as in discussing together the vision and strategies for campus mission.
