Live from Urbana - Update 3

We are coming to the end of another day, the second last, here at Urbana. This is a place of non-stop action. I just want to remind you that you can watch or listen to so much of it on Urbana.org. I plan to myself after it's all over.

Here in the main evening session, we just finished hearing from Rick Warren. He believes that this generation, the young people, will be the/a "reformation generation." I'm not exactly sure what it means, but it has to do with "whatever it takes", missions and The Peace Plan (thepeaceplan.com).

I spent the afternoon hanging out with hundreds of young people who want to use business for missions (one of my main interests). It was pretty cool meeting people and getting acquainted with organizations that want to see the workplace transformed for justice and missions and more. Research Christian enterprise on the web sometime.

Add to this a collectively missed lunch (for prayer and fasting), an offering for missions, a big choir, videos, more speakers and much more; and you have another day at Urbana 06.

Thanks for your prayers.
