==History== UBF began in South Korea as a student movement built around one-on-one teaching sessions for college students using the Bible and instilling the founders' version of [[Shepherding Movement]] teachings.<ref name=missiology>Jun Ki Chung, "The University Bible Fellowship: A Forty-Year Retrospective Evaluation", [http://ubf.org/bbs/data/press_media/An_article_from_missiology004.pdf ''Missiology: An International Review''] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090107121308/http://ubf.org/bbs/data/press_media/An_article_from_missiology004.pdf |date=2009-01-07 }}, Vol. XXXI, No.4, October 2003, pp. 474-85</ref> In 1964, UBF began expanding its campus presence through missionary work in South Korea. In 1966, the group established their headquarters in [[Seoul]]. In the 1970s, UBF began expanding to North America and is mentioned in the group of campus ministries who actively engaged in student recruitment to create Bible-based societies.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ocms.ac.uk/regnum/downloads/The_Lausanne_Movement-Final-WMF.pdf|title=The Lausanne Movement A Range of Perspectives|publisher=Regnum Books International |volume=22 |page=196|access-date=15 November 2016}}</ref> In 1975, the organization became incorporated as a non-profit organization in the United States, in the state of [[Mississippi]].<ref>[https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_ms/400517/ UBF incorporation]</ref> Soon after the incorporation, the organization's international headquarters was relocated from Seoul to [[Chicago]]. They continued to establish chapters on college campuses in Africa, Europe, South America, Asia, Oceania, and North America. In 2020, [[Wheaton College (Illinois)]] partnered with the Chicago chapter of the group to provide a cross-cultural ministry certification.<ref>[https://www.wheaton.edu/academics/school-of-mission-ministry-and-leadership/partnerships/university-bible-fellowship/], January 21, 2021, Wheaton College School of Mission, Ministry and Leadership</ref>
