Alumni Reunion

One of the most exciting things about the Anniversary Conference that we had at UCLA last week happened on Wednesday night after the last service. 38 of the almost 100 graduates of the university went to Los Generales (a restaurant) to have a wonderful time of testimony and fellowship. It was wonderful to see the way that the Lord has continued to work in and through the lives of our graduates. We were able to see many fine Christian couples that had met and married as a result of UCLA. We were thrilled to hear from many in full-time Christian service.

We were also encouraged to see how the Lord was using some of those graduates that we might not have expected to go on serving the Lord. Each year as you look at the graduates walking across the stage, you wonder which ones of them will go on to serve the Lord and which ones will fall away. Sometimes there are certain graduates that you are almost certain will not last in the ways of the Lord. Yet at the reunion we were able to hear the testimony of several of those that we did not expect to make it. Now one of them is in charge of a mission church. Another one, who was the first student to ever be expelled from UCLA and later came back to finish, is now teaching the pre-school Sunday School class at his church. Simply amazing! God is a great God! He does his work in the hearts of men.


In this picture you can see the couples made of UCLA graduates.

This is a picture of most of the graduates who attended.
