Mark Vucekovich said the next U.S. Canada staff meeting is to be Feb. 21-23 at the Indiana Pennsylvania, rooms at the two hotels with two queen-size beds with four people sharing were reserved.
Then June 2014 there will be a staff conference probably in Chicago.
Regional conferences are encouraged to go between Christmas time and New Year, around the time of Well. Some families may not want to do that for they might want to spend time with families.
The point of regional conference is to build up net-working, a system for mutual help, in-depth Bible studies, etc.
Proposed dates for the regional west coast staff meeting: Jan 3-4 (Friday and Saturday) 2014 is recommended as next regional staff meeting time (tentative).
Proposed location: John Baik of El Camino volunteered to host the next meeting.
Proposed program: What to do: deep Bible studies are recommended especially the books of the Bible which we have not covered as fully as we ought to. Mark Vucekovich said one staff can be assigned to give an introduction of the book to cover. John Baik said one staff can cover one book in-depth by coming up with study materials like study questions and notes, and even messages. We also need to cover not just Bible studies but also have the opportunity to learn about Christian theology, practices of other ministries, Christian history, examples of great men of faith, etc. and so forth, so that the staff may have something to get away with.
- Coworkers shared their needs and feedbacks - Andrew Hwang - fire (not intellectual or informational) (more spiritual like repentance) (revival now) Stanford 7; Charles Wilson - like this conference program, you cannot schedule repentance, do the daily bread; Abraham Jung - likes the topic revival which is refreshing, does not like another bible conference, one message is enough, new topic connected with the Bible is good, ministry started this March, so this week he has three Bible students attending the Sunday worship; Stephen Kim - program was beneficial, regarding the next meeting, he has the desire to learn the whole Bible, so he prefer to study books he is not familiar with, at Colorado Springs UBF has one family, yet there is a disagreement like children not wanting students at home, with Stephen wanting to invite students at the worship, so there is the need for family members to pray, since last year the Lord is sending students so they have seven Bible students; Joseph - Holy Spirit works, there are four families here in Denver, they pray for 15 one to one Bible studies, Joseph family prays for a green card, John Lee has E-2 visa, Dr. Abraham works for a post-doc position; Mark Vucekovich - loves the program, time of fellowship was good for mutual understanding and build up, liked Isaac Kim’s mission report, wants to support Dr. Abraham Kim, 9 undergraduates in discipleship training, and there are seniors needing prayer supports in terms of the direction after graduation, there are more works that need to be done, so he needs support; Isaac Kim - program as the first time attempt is good, so we follow the format as it is for a while and as we go on, pray to further improve, and there is the need for more fellowship via more visits and meetings (for we are disconnected); John Kwon - he agrees with Abraham Jung in terms of the program, it is needed for us to cover books of the Bible, fellowship time without pressure was good, agrees with Charles Wilson in terms of the need to emphasize on the importance of daily bread; Mark Moran - he felt burden to go to the conference, yet at this local conference he felt good for he had time for personal fellowships, he was inspired by the Nehemiah study, he is in need of deep Bible study perhaps in a new way, he is in need of repentance of tendency for self-reliance, he has prayer topic that is building a student friendly environment by improving worship service via measures like keeping the message shorter; Gideon Klijian - he wants fire, we need to be connected, they started group bible studies on campus, on CSUN campus there are a lot of false teachers like Mother God cult members; John Baik - he was impressed by the Pyongyang Revival report, he feels his presentation on Nehemiah could have been better, he prays for the Genesis study to raise up new batch of disciples, his ministry will study 2 Timothy and then Luke gospel in four weeks for Christmas season, first Samuel the New Year; Jeremiah Jung - he appreciate coworkers coming, through the conference he learned from Pyongyang Revival, so he could think about his personal repentance topics, all programs were appropriate, he has two main prayer topics that is 15 weekly one to one, and each person needs to grow as a Bible teacher for 4 missionaries are taking turns to serve the message.
- One Announcement Topic: New Website first public part (for outsiders and second for insiders, so outsiders and insiders would know UBF chapter and location in each place) and private part (so each chapter may post news etc.).
Isaac H. Kim shared one word, Luke 10:1-2 and gave announcement topics, thanks topics and prayer topics:
- Thank God for Denver coworkers serving us in Denver style
- Pray to fix the Program for the next meeting so we could incorporate plans involving Principle and Practice (John B vs. Mark Moran getting feedback from folks)
- Pray for chapter directors who could not attend (Daniel Jung of San Diego, Paul Chin, Abraham Song and Ben Westerhoff of Seattle, Dr. David Greenfield Kim of San Jose, Sunny and Paul Koh at Stanislas, someone to pioneer Fort Collins at Colorado, David Kim of Arizona Tempe, Dr. Joe and Theresa Ahn and Jason Schooler of Portland, Daniel Kwon and Dr. John Kim of Seattle, Joshua Hong of Victoria Island; etc.)
- Shepherd Charles recording the discussion, so is to come up with the minutes of meeting and provide Mark Moran with them for his circulation.
- West Coast Pioneering Work (build a vessel) Luke 10:2 (send out harvest workers)
