Urbana 09: Intervarsity's twenty-second student missions conference.

St. Louis, Missouri
December 27-31, 2009

I attended Urbana 06. And it was awesome!

The conference is held at the Edward Jones Dome, where the Rams play. It's the largest gathering of international Christian students I've ever seen or heard of.

We sang songs in English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Hindi, French, and other languages. The book of the day, which is a misnomer because there are two books of the day every day, are amazing- things like Revolution in World Missions, Cross-Cultural Servanthood, The New Friars, and The Power of a City at Prayer.

I highly recommend attending. You will see things from around the world, you will meet people from around the world, and you will get a vision for missions around the world. You will see why America is fading from the forefront of Christianity, as churches are closing here they're being planted around the world, and multiplying like crazy. You will see how missions to the poor is important, but also how neglected Europe has been in our global missions efforts.

Enjoy the video- and prayerfully consider attending!
