O Broken Lamb Verse 1 O broken Lamb of God It was for me He died For all my sin and shame My Lord was crucified But through His brokenness I am made whole again And I see loveliness In Christ the broken Lamb Verse 2 The stripes upon His back The thorns upon His brow Because He suffered them I can know healing now It was an awful price Yet He paid willingly He gave His sinless life To purchase life for me Chorus 1 The Lamb of God Became the sacrifice It was my debt And still He paid the price For ev'ry sin and all iniquity The precious Lamb of God Was broken for you and me The precious Lamb of God Was broken for you and me Verse 3 They took Him from the cross And laid Him in a tomb Their hope seemed all but lost Their hearts were filled with gloom But early Sunday morn He rose triumphantly And purchased for all men The hope to live eternally Chorus 2 The Lamb of God Became the Lord of lords And He will reign As King forevermore He conquered death And now He holds the key The Lamb of God Bought eternal life for you and me

Because He First Loved Us
"We love because he first loved us." (1 John 4:19)
We praise God for blessing the 2011 Canadian SBC with 270 attendants
from June 30th to July 2nd, 2011, which was held on the Queen’s
University campus, located in Kingston, Ontario. 14 Canadian chapters
from eastern Canada, 1 representative from Calgary UBF joined the 2011
Canadian UBF SBC. The theme of this conference was the love of God. From
America, the newly appointed UBF general director Dr. Abraham T. Kim
and Pastor Mark Vucekovich, Julie Jesmer (NIU) and her son Augustine
came to support this conference with prayer. Their presence encouraged
us greatly. Through this conference, we prayed to receive God's infinite
love and to respond to His love, making practical decisions of faith in
our life and ministry.
On the opening night, Matthew Northey gave the opening message based on 1 John 4:19.
Though he is the lone member of this new pioneering ministry in
Kingston, he kept his faith and laying the foundation of God’s work. We
were encouraged us to discover God's love through the conference. Then,
Andy Stumpf (Waterloo UBF) gave the first main lecture: "I will betroth
you to me forever” based on Hosea 2. God's love is expressed poignantly
through Hosea's obedience to God's command to marry his unfaithful wife.
Gomer’s infidelity can be compared to our idolatry because we have
prostituted ourselves to various things and people of this world. This
is a touching story because God is crazy in love for us and he wants to
restore our love with him forever.
On the second day, Andrew Han Jr. gave us the most famous verse about God's love through John 3:16:
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that
whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." For the
second main lecture, Joshua Brinkerhoff gave the message on the parable
of the Lost Son based on Luke 15:11-32.
This passage describes the lostness of two sons. The first squandered
his wealth and life. The other son was lost in his self-righteousness.
From God's point of view, God longs, waits, welcomes, and restores any
kind of sinner because of his great love for us. We were moved by the
waiting love of our heavenly father for sinners like us. Immediately
after the morning message, all the attendants wrote testimonies and
shared in groups. The evening lecture was given by Paul Lee Jr. Fallen
men want to retaliate after they are wounded. However, Jesus said on the
cross, "Father, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing."
(Luke 23:24)
Jesus prayed for forgiveness. God's love is demonstrated by the cross
of Jesus and for the forgiveness of our sins. Paul Lee Jr.'s testimony
of changed life from that of a small-time punk into a campus shepherd
was an unmistakable evidence of power of Jesus’ death on the cross.
Until then, we had learned about what God's love did for us. From day
three, we learned about what are our responses to the love of God.
Firstly, Samuel Mukwedeya’s morning devotion on “A New Creation in
Christ” (2Co 5:17)
reflects a changed life. Accepting Christ helps us to be inwardly
changed and we can grow in his holiness and likeness and we must also
bear fruit. Jason Northey, in his message “Remain in Jesus” (Jn 15:1-17)
described that fruit-bearing in the likeness of Jesus is Christian’s
measure of success. We can do this when we have an intimate relationship
with Christ. Apart from Jesus, we can do nothing. Practically speaking
this means to do small things for God’s flock with great love of Jesus.
It is because Jesus first loved us. Furthermore, we must love one
another because it is Jesus’ command. Ernest Chan gave his evening
lecture on Jesus’ command: “Love One Another.” (Jn 13) Love is not just
feeling, it is an intense spiritual struggle. This command is given to
the disciples and only when we love one another can we be recognized as
disciples of Jesus. Instead of complaining, we must say thank you. God
wants to use us as his channels of love by obedience to Jesus’ command
to love one another.
On the last day, we learned how to grow our love for Jesus more and more through the Lord’s Prayer (Mt 6:9-13)
which Sheila Htoo preached to us. We prayed for M. Rebekah Lee of
Ottawa UBF who was undergoing a surgery in Korea in order to remove a
fist-sized tumor. The SWS message was given by Philip Wong: “You are a
Holy Nation.” (1Pe 2:9)
Loving God means to identify ourselves as God’s people. We are to
declare the praises of him who called us out of darkness into his
wonderful light. The closing message was given by Andrew Christopher
based on the World Mission Command. (Mt 28:18-20)
Loving Jesus means to obey this command not only to other campuses in
Canada, but it extends to the whole world. May God answer our prayer
topic to pioneer the remaining 140 nations!
We thank God for touching our hearts with the love of God. We could see
the evidence of this love of God through powerful messages and graceful
life testimonies (Leonard A., Joseph M., Alexei T., Rita T., Jennifer
L., Wah-Paw, Lesedi M., Marcel R., Jia Z., Paulina L., Tino M.) and One
Word testimony speakers (Preston, Allan, James, Wade, Yvonne, and
Jessica). Many people shared tearful testimonies of repentance during
their group studies. Now, as we returned to our mission fields, may we
extend this love of God to students on 256 Canadian campuses and for the
whole world! M. Luke Hong’s prayer topics for Canada: 1. Pioneer 256 Canadian campuses (updated number of colleges and universities in Canada, researched by Dr. Henry Kim). 2. Double ministry in each chapter by the next Canadian SBC. 3. Restore sacrificial spirit in order to serve campus students. Reported by David Jumeau (Montreal UBF)
