I'm going to Urbana. Are you?

Followup. See Oct 22 blog post above.

If you are 18-25, you should give serious thought to going to Urbana this December (27-31).

What is Urbana? Urbana is *the* missions event/conference of North America. 60-year history. Speakers like John Stott, Billy Graham, George Verwer. Only once every three years. It's a time when 25,000 people come together to hear about and talk about missions--about being part of the Kingdom of God all over the world. What can be more exciting? The keynote speaker this year is Rick Warren (author of The Purpose-Driven Life, and now very involved in missions).

I am going to Urbana. If you are thinking about going as well, email me. I want to help you figure out how to make this happen. Don't give up.

Go to Urbana.org and watch the videos here.
