West LA

 

1. Purpose

The West LA University Bible Fellowship is a mainline evangelical church and dedicated to the task of students evangelism. Our main work is helping students to study the Bible and live according to its teachings.

2. Bible Study

A. One-To-One Bible Study

In this collective society one person can easily be ingnored. But when we learned through Bible study how God helped one person Abraham for 25 years, and how Jesus our Lord helped the Twelve one by one, we were greatly inspired to study the Bible with each student on a one-to-one basis.

This kind of Bible study is costly because it involves investment of one's personal time, love and care. But we believe the Bible teaches that one soul is of greater worth than the whole universe.

In one-to-one Bible study, usually we begin with Genesis or John's gospel, in order to learn basic Christianity.

B. Daily Bible Reading

We also encourage students to read the Bible daily and to pray regularly, using the Daily Bread booklets. Some students meet in small groups once a week to share their personal responses to the word of God.

C. Discipleship Training

As Jesus raised disciples from the outset of his ministry, we also pray that God may raise many disciples of Jesus Christ through our prayers and labor of love. For this purpose we hold an annual Easter Bible Conference, Summer Bible Conference, Fall Summer Bible Conference, and Winter Bible Conference. In addition, special one-week Bible school.

3. How can we help students?

We know that no one can change anyone else. So we try to help each student to study the Bible, that through Bible study he or she may come to know God personally, and also come to know himself or herself, and find the clear purpose and meaning of life in our Lord Jesus Christ. In doing this, we can only depend on the work of the Holy Spirit.
