From September 26–28, the Midwest UBF chapters held their Fall Retreat in Streator, Illinois, with over 150 students and young adults in attendance. 4 messengers, Dylan Burke, Curtis Rodriguez, Victor R., and Dr. John Lee, spoke on the theme of “Encountering God.”
 

People from as far as Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, and Philadelphia, traveled to attend the retreat. During the retreat, four were baptized and shared their life testimonies: Kalani from Indy UBF, Jacob from UIC, and Kajo and Naomi from Central Illinois UBF. Daniel Baik also shared his Sri Lanka mission report. 

We pray that through this retreat, many may have encountered Jesus personally, and that God may raise future disciples and missionaries through the Midwest ministry. To God be the glory!
