Here are some of my observations about each event.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><em>First Attempt: 1976<\/em><\/p>\n<p>UBF was founded in 1961 in South Korea. In 1976, after the letter of reform sent by seven Korean UBF staff shepherds, UBF was founded in the USA. In just 15 years, UBF had serious issues that needed reformed.<\/p>\n<p>The first reform attempt was by Koreans from Korea UBF.<\/p>\n<p><em>Second Attempt: 1989<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In 1989, James Kim (Director) of Toledo UBF helped lead another Korean shepherd reform movement, which resulted in the Kim\u2019s family being driven away from UBF with a secret pact.<\/p>\n<p>The second reform attempt was initiated by Koreans from Toledo UBF.<\/p>\n<p><em>1.3. Third Attempt: 2001<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In 2001, Jimmy Rhee of Chicago UBF and other Korean shepherds, missionaries and directors led another Korean shepherd reform movement, citing the same kinds of reform that were needed in 1976 and 1989. The result was the founding of Campus Ministry International (CMI) and another exodus of UBF leaders from places like Toledo UBF (USA), Chicago UBF (USA), Korea UBF and Germany UBF. Even the first UBF USA sheep from Toledo UBF, left UBF at this time and were labeled as enemies.<\/p>\n<p>The third reform attempt was initiated by Koreans from Chicago UBF.<\/p>\n<p><em>1.4. Fourth Attempt: 2011<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In 2011 and the years prior, reform movements were sparked around the world. The notable and most vocal movements were in: Toledo UBF (USA), Penn State UBF (USA), Westloop\/Chicago UBF (USA), India UBF, Kiev UBF, Russia UBF and Hong Kong UBF. The result was a mass exodus of dozens of long-time UBF leaders. One result was a large exodus of longtime UBF native (national) leaders. Another result was a large number of UBF leaders (Korean and native\/national) who decided to remain as members of UBF in order to initiate new reforms internally.\u00a0The fourth attempt was initiated by native (national) UBF leaders around the world.<\/p>\n<p><em>What was your experience during any of these reform movements?
