_”Students come to Urbana with the question ‘What should I be doing with my life?”’ convention director Jim Tebbe said in a press release. “It is our prayer that God will significantly meet these students and show them who he is and what he is calling them to.”_
p. Urbana more than just a 5-day conference, for many it introduces an experience that will forever change their purpose, destiny, and priorities.
p. The Urbana phenonema is best described by the website for the conference:
bq.. Urbana 03 is InterVarsitys 20th Student Mission Convention. For sixty years, God has been using Urbana conventions to change the lives of students and to advance His Kingdom in our world. We invite you to come this December for FIVE DAYS OF SEEKING YOUR PLACE IN GODS MISSION.
Urbana 03 is both about your future and about your life today. We learn about Gods heart for people in the remotest hills and for the students on our dorm floors. All people are equally valuable to a King who died so we might live.
