What I Write About

I write about the infinite number of intersections between every day life and the good news of the God who has come to get us.

A Day in the Life of an Urbana Student

8:30-10:00 Scripture Study in Ephesians with 100 to 1,600 of your closest friends

10:45-12:30 Plenary Session including worship, dramas, videos, and Scripture exposition

12:30 Lunch-22,000 people descend on a couple hundred restaurants in the downtown area. Holy wait times, Batman.

2:00 & 4:00 Two Optional Seminar time slots-50-plus different seminars on topics ranging from 'Dance Workshop: Dance & Social Justice' to 'Reaching Hindus for the Gospel.'

Also during the afternoon there's the 'Global Connexions' exhibit hall--literally hundreds of missions agencies with rep's ready to talk to students interested in missions. Everybody's here, from Salvation Army to Food for the Hungry.

5:30-7:00 Feeding the 22,000 in four fun shifts of 5,000 each.

7:30-9:30 Night Plenary Session. Another session packed with worship, videos, testimonies from missionaries around the world, and some of the most powerful main speakers I've ever heard: Bono spoke a pre-recorded message last night, Rick Warren is speaking tonight. Most everything is available on line at www.urbana.org
