A. Disciple Making Ministry
1 The Preaching of the Gospel We seek to share the gospel with non-believing college students and teenagers and invite students and others to study the Bible.
2 One-to-One Bible study
U.B.F. emphasizes one-to-one Bible study. One who has studied a lesson or a passage prepares by prayer and personal study, then he/she invites another student to study the Bible with him/her.
They agree on a mutually convenient place and time, using prepared Bible study question sheets and read and discuss the Bible passage together. They seek to understand the message of the passage, pray together and encourage each other to apply the Bible teaching to personal life. After each Bible study, students are encouraged to write their own testimonies about what they have learned. By writing a testimony, the word of God can be planted in their hearts.
3 Fellowship and Small Group Bible Studies
Group Bible study is also encouraged. Group Bible studies are sometimes held on campuses and sometimes in the Bible houses. Frequently the Sunday passage is studied in advance. Then, after the Sunday Worship service, members write and share testimonies. Large chapters are divided into small Fellowship groups. These Fellowships meet to study the Bible pray for one another and for God's work throughout the world. These Fellowships are also a place for leadership training.
4 Campus Prayer Meeting
In every university in every country, daily prayer meetings on campus are encouraged. Students who meet to pray for their own campuses can grow in a sense of stewardship for their campus. The campus prayer meetings also pray for the nation and for the world.
5 Morning Prayer Meeting and Quiet Time
Most chapters have early morning prayer meetings using a Daily Bread booklet published by UBF. Members meditate on the word of God and write their personal testimonies based on the Bible passage. Through this discipline, they can find spiritual direction and receive spiritual power for each day.
6 Bible schools or Academies
Bible schools or Bible Academies are held during vacation time or on week-ends. The Bible passages for the Academies are selected according to the campus situation and the social problems prevalent at the time, and the messages are delivered by student leaders or graduates. This also provides a good opportunity for messengers to grow spiritually.
7 Summer Bible Conferences
International Summer Bible Conferences are held every 4 years. On other years, there are regional conferences, chapter conferences and fellowship conferences. There are also conferences for high school students. The preparation for these conferences is intense. It is an excellent opportunity for spiritual training through united prayer, message writing, training in message delivery, diligent visiting of members. The Summer Bible Conferences include national folk dances (for world mission vision) drama and musical performances. At these conferences, the gospel is clearly presented and there is opportunity for non-Christians to accept Christ as Savior and Lord.
8 U.B.F. Leadership Training
In addition to the Summer Bible Conferences, there are short Bible conferences such as weekend conferences in the spring and fall, New Year and/or year-end conferences, as well as conferences for U.B.F. staff and members in charge of World Missions, etc.
9 Summer and Winter Tutoring
Some UBF centers provide opportunities for students to study SAT, ACT, foreign languages, math, etc, through classes or tutoring during vacation periods.
