As I read your synopsis, this question struck me: “Why did I stay at UBF for over 2 decades??”

It made me think that one thing some ubf leaders do not want to hear are the reasons why so many people, both missionaries and natives (not just indigenous people), have left ubf after many years, usually after 5-10 years, but some even after 20-30 years.

I hope the day will come when more and more leaders will be seriously willing to hear from “their sheep” how they were deficient and lacking in the way they had loved and served others.

It is NOT A SHAME to admit and acknowledge our shortcomings and failures, but would instead indeed indicate integrity.

It is the stubborn unwillingness to openly and publicly examine the pain and wounds that they caused others that is causing ubf to loose credibility with more and more people, even with their own children, even while their children still dearly love their parents.
