2009 European Directors conference was full of the word of God, full of tears, full of joy and love restoring our first love for God and God’s flock. Altogether more than 100 attended. (25 directors and 15 directors’ coworkers, 18 native shepherds, 5 from Korea, 8 from USA and around 30 German coworkers).

Dr. John Jun’s message, “Restore your first love” (Rev C2) touched all attendants’ hearts to repent with tears. Dr. Peter Chang’s opening message titled, “You give them something to eat” challenged all directors to have compassionate heart, life giving spirit, shepherd’s responsibility for Europe students through one to one Bible study. S. Samuel H. Lee gave a message titled, “Love one another” (John 13). For evening messages P. Walter Nett gave a message titled, “The double portion of your Spirit” (2 King 2) P. Paul Ridge’s message was titled, “Let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem!” (Nehemiah 1,2.). Dr. James Suh gave a special message about, “Effective one to one ministry” based on his own failures and successes through his KyungSung UBF ministry. Dr. Paul Hong encouraged all attendants to pray earnestly and never give up in world campus mission through his closing message (Lk 18).

The highlight was the testimony sharing among directors. They were full of repentant tears. The directors’ coworkers claimed that they shed more tears than the directors. 25 director’s report of God’s work in each nation was so precious. Outwardly what they reported seemed very insignificant in numbers and quantity. But we could see that Europe has hope to be restored from her spiritual declination through UBF missionaries burning love for them.

We also had a presentation for 2009 Eringerfeld European Summer Bible conference by M. Elijah Park, M. Andrew Kim and S. Schweitzer. Even though we had such a packed schedules in short time, we did everything with plenty of time for sports for soccer, table tennis, Jokku, swimming, snow walking, aerobics, singspiration, quality music performances by region by region chorus team, by Bonn 2nd music servants and women coworkers special report for each country during meal time. It was so beautiful to see Abrahams of faith of many nations; Alesch (Czech), George (Bulgaria), Stamatis (Greece), Noemie (Swiss). Many native shepherds, Paul, Abraham, Reiner, Schweitzer, Stephen, Bruno Aussant, participated as stewards of the conference. Bonn native coworkers and missionaries prepared good environment as well as abundant snacks.
