We’ll kick off the Fall quarter with a joint Bible study with the international student groups. If you are looking for a campus fellowship or are just curious about finding out what the Bible teaches, we invite you to join us! More details about this will be posted here soon.
Also, if you’re looking for a church, our group is the campus ministry of Life Baptist Church which is only about 10 min drive from UCLA. Service starts at 4pm on Sundays and we provide rides. Please contact timdong at ucla.edu if interested. We’d love to have you join us!
The Grad Student Orientation Resource Fair will be held on Friday, September 17 from 12:30 PM to 3:3o PM in the Ackerman Grand Ballroom. Please drop by and say hi! More info about the orientation can be found here
USC just completed the first week of their fall semester. Some of us joined the first Bible study of the school year held for international students and greeted the new students who attended.
Congratulations Sandy, Steven, Min, Tony, Vicki, and Moses! We praise God for His faithfulness in guiding you through your time at UCLA, and we wish you the best for the next stage in your life.

We each spend most of the day doing research on our own thing, so we thought it would be neat to hear about each other’s research after bible study. “A day in the life of a grad student…” This past quarter we learned about antibiotics, a balance vest to treat people with balance disorders (featured in the
Daily Bruin!), fruit fly brains, and the difference between digital/analog circuits. We’re not done yet, so stay tuned for upcoming episodes of “This Grad Life”!

We got together with the other LCF groups at UCLA and USC at Dockweiler Beach for a great time of roasting hotdogs/smores and singing praise around a roaring campfire!
As a follow up to the Veritas Forum, we will begin a series of Bible Studies on “Why God Matters…” Each week of this quarter, we will talk about why God matters with reference to a different topic, including purpose, relationships, humanity, and Jesus. For the first study of the series, we will meet together with the Undergraduate and the International student group starting 7pm at Ackerman 2408. After this first meeting, the grad group will return to our regular meeting time and place (Kerckhoff 135 on Fridays at 8pm).
The Forum was a great success! Over 500 people filled two auditoriums on UCLA campus to hear Dr. Os Guinness speak on the topic “The Journey: A Thinking Person’s Quest for Meaning.” We praise God for this amazing work and we are thankful that we were able to take part in preparing for this event.

This Saturday we took a one day trip down to San Diego and had a wonderful time of fellowship. We played ultimate and had picnic by La Jolla Cove, biked (some of us tried riding tandem!), flew kites (from the $1 store), and played beach volleyball on the beach outside Coronado Hotel. Afterwards, we had dinner at
Super Buffet in SD and then began the long trek back. A great evening!
Thanks to everyone for making the potluck last Friday such a delicious event!
