These two guys went to school with Moses! On the left is Hal Short the President and Chairman of UCB International. Hal is directly and personally repsonsible for much of the world wide growth of this amazing UCB family.
For years Hal and Annette worked ‘in faith’, believing The Lord for every needed dollar. Hal was a keynote speaker at a recent training few days at Radio Pulpit in South Africa and I was reminded again at just what this man has given up for the ministry.
The other ‘ white- haired’ gentleman is Bob Gass, author of The Word for Today. From a small run of 5000 copies to help UCK UK reach their supporters with a small ‘thank you,’ to today where there is a print run of over 3 million copies in many langauges to many parts of the world. What an amazing devotional, just as real and relevant today as it was all those years ago.
We honour 2 of the great leaders within UCB … Hal Short and Bob Gass.

I was very inspired by the story that Hal shared about having a vision and following it whilst trusting entirely upon God’s providence. I just hope we all could follow through and realise the amount of time this great man has sacrificed to make God’s work a success. I also want to comment about the outstanding training we recieved from Gary. I for one was very challenged and inspired to deliver excellent programmes. God requires us to be excellent in whatever he sends us to do. With these few excited comments, to Hal and Gary I say forward with excellence forward!! ‘Aluta continua’. May God richly and continuously bless you.
Hey Lucky…thank you for your kind and supportive words….and yes!…you can do it as well….you are gifted, committed… you and others around you are the future of UCB……us oldies salute you!!!!..Gary
