Worldwide Evangelical student movement InterVarsity’s 22nd missions’ conference - Urbana 09 - finished on the last day of December 2009 in St Louis, USA. Over the final five days of December, 17,000 students, staff, supporters and missions agencies gathered there to worship, pray, and consider the theme ‘He dwells among us’.
One of the organisers stated, “A few weeks ago we asked you to pray for Urbana – that delegates would be challenged by the spiritual and physical needs of the world. Thank you for your prayers – God has been mightily at work here. We have been challenged to see mission as incarnational, following the model Jesus set before us. Thousands of students have committed or re-committed their lives to Christ; thousands more have declared their intention to serve in cross-cultural mission.”
Over the years Urbana has proved to be an event where many young university students from all over the world are given a vision for missionary service. In these days it is particularly students from the Third World who are responding to the challenge of Christ.
