On May 22, 2014, I arrived at the O'hare at 3:00 pm. Shepherd Don Kuper greeted me. He used to serve as a pioneer in Argentine UBF but in 1991 he turned leadership to Marcus Kim and came back to the US.
In chicago every where you see people from every quaters of the world.
Don also said: What is local becomes far away what is far away becomes local due to Internet; It looks like The US is in decline as a super power whereas china is frontier of mission because she is becoming new super power but no matter what I or anyone says about the US there is always hope for America!; it is interesting to see Osama bin laden hating America still with himself wearing the US army uniform and underneath arabic tunic, in his wrist Timex sports watch holding ak russian rifle using microphone global internet. Don is one of ancestors of faith of Toledo UBF. He now works as a full time staff member.
With his wife Hanna he has two sons: Paul (27) and John (25).
