Call to Urbana

I think I've done enough quizzes to last me a long time. They were enjoyable all the same.

I would like to devote my post today to Urbana. I'm really hoping that I will be able to convince at least one of my friends to go with me this year. It's the largest missions conference in the world, and it is held every three years. It started in Toronto back in 1946, but it was then moved to Urbana-Champaigne, Illinois where it remained until 2003, the year I attended. Urbana 2006 will be held in St. Louis, Missouri. It runs from the evening of December 27th to midnight on December 31st. The conference consists of two general sessions each day, time in between for customized sessions or exhibit viewing, and a small group Bible study each night. There are always a bunch of interesting speakers, and this year, one of them will be Rick Warren, author of "The Purpose Driven Life". The most amazing thing about the conference is probably the worship. Being in a stadium filled with more than twenty thousand people all praising God is absolutely incredible. It's also a great place to seek God's leading for the future if you are considering some kind of missions work.

If you are thinking about attending Urbana, feel free to contact me, visit the website, or view the webcast from 2003. If you decide to go, please contact me. I would love to connect with you.
