11/11 Announcement
Dear NY UBF Family,
"Last night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood beside me 24 and said, 'Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar; and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you.'" (Acts 27:23,24)
In our life's journey, may we encounter Jesus standing beside us, protecting and encouraging us in the midst of the storms. May His presence empower us to overcome life's storms by faith.

We are forming Campus Ministry Teams at Columbia University, St. John's University, Queensborough Community College, Queens College, and LaGuardia Community College. Many have already joined these teams, and we thank God for each of you. The presentation I gave last Friday about the CMT formation is attached. The members for each college may change. We still need more Frontline Workers, so if you are interested, please apply using the form below.
Please let me know if you plan to join the Latin America International Conference. In addition, we are seeking young adults—college students or recent graduates—to join the North American delegation attending the Latin America International Conference. If interested, please get in touch with me directly.
The Belize UBF Bible House dedication ceremony is scheduled for December 1. On that day, Shepherd Dillon will also be officially taking up leadership. M. Moses Y. Kang & M. Grace M. Kang from NY UBF will attend. Let's pray for God's blessing on this special day.
Philadelphia UBF's Bible House will be dedicated this Saturday, November 16. I will be attending with M. James S. Kim. Please keep this in your prayers.
Please continue to lift our church in prayer to grow as:
A Spirit-Filled Community
A Campus Mission-Centered Church
A Multicultural and Multigenerational Congregation
As we enter this Thanksgiving season, let's remember and share the many blessings God has granted us throughout 2024. May we embrace a spirit of gratitude throughout this month.
Please keep our coworkers in your prayers: Complete healing for M. Ruth Lim; Becky Song Lee to receive strength during her weekly Friday chemotherapy and be healed from cancer; M. Sarah Kim's recovery from post-surgery pain; Relief from neck and shoulder pain for M. Grace M. Kang; Healing from cancer for M. Abigail Lee's sister; Prayers for M. Jackie Kim's father and Sh. Yvette Shin's mother.
May God's word be our strength and victory this week.
