First night of the 2013 U.S./Canada UBF Staff Bible Conference






Before the meeting, there was a dinner served. During the dinner I had a fellowship with many especially Dr. Hongseok (Moses) Noh (from Anam UBF). He is an associate professor and director of BioMEMS and Lab-on-a-Chip Laboratory at the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics (3141 Chestnut St. Philadelphia, PA, tel 215-895-2273; email mosesnoh@coe.drexel.edu; website http://mems.mem.drexel.edu).

He is now working with a surgeon on a device (chip) that can be implanted in human brain that can treat a disease 'hydro-cephalus'. The device is a plastic chip (5 mm by 5 mm by 5 mm) that can be planted on the water way inside of brain. Human brain is floating in a body of water, so when the God-given biologic valve does not work, water circulation is inerrupted, so the disease breaks out, so when the system breaks down, a plastic chip can perform as a valve to pump water, control the circulation of water in which the brain floats.

The meeting took place at a smaller conference hall.
Pastor Kevin Albright presided the meeting.
International guests included: Bayarmagnai Bayardalai (Mongolia UBF), Konstantin Kalinkin (Moscow UBF), Reiner Schauwienold (Heidelberg UBF), Water Nett (Koln UBF, European Coordinator), Abraham K. Lee (Koln UBF), Timothy Rhee (Guadalajara UBF, Latin American Coordinator), Stephen Ahn (Korea UBF), Elijah Lee (Korea UBF), Daniel Rhee (Africa UBF), and David Kim (Korea UBF General Director).
Staff of Newly Beginning Chapters included: Dr. Abraham Koo (Columbia, MO; from MSU UBF), Dr. Abraham Jeong (Cerritos, from Downey UBF), Isaac A. Kim, Joshua Jeon (Austin, TX; from Lincoln Park UBF and Chicago UBF), Joshua H. Choo (Louisville, KY; from Houston UBF), Luke Lim MD (Washington II UBF, from Washington UBF), Gideon Sherwin (Pampano, FL).
There were introduced "other new staff of current UBF chapters" as well as "New Staff/Chapters not attending" and "Observers". See the list in the photos below.








Pastor Ron gave the congregation words of orientation esp. on the theme title - the Church, God's household. Pastor Mark Vucekovich shared a message entitled "Our Fellowship" on 1 John 1:1-4.
Before proceeding to the group discussion on 1 John 1:1-4, Pastor Mark gave a handout identifying the needs (for meaningful fellowship) that is,
- Renew God's personal calling for campus evangelism;
- Renew God's love and compassion for college students;
- Grow personally in Christ and in the ministery of God's word;
- Pass on our ministry's core values;
- Equip new chapter directors;
- Inspire new full-time staff and missionaries;
- Integrate all kinds of people into our ministries; and
- Pray for our small house church ministries.




For breakout session, we moved to the main arena of the main hall. I joined the group no. 10 led by Shepherd Paul Sambucco. Based on the handouts we discussed the isssues on the list.
