He gave me a confused look, as if to say “I have not even considered this. Why would you have?” Then he said that all we could do it pray. He then immediately contradicted himself by stating that my friends testimony to ‘find a suitable helper’ in Korea had been what led him to engagement. I told him I did not want to be at a bible conference and be introduced to a Sarah Kim or Hannah Choi or whatever combination of 5 first and 5 last names UBF has.

….I pray you will encourage people to read it to learn from it and make families better…I love you for addressing these issues and for being real…I am happy you are in UBF as a voice and for this website….it is hard to admit we are wrong and broken…but it was the only way for me to get healed and continue to grow in his love
