Urbana 2006
December is seven months away, but registration for the Urbana 06 conference (December 27-31, 2006) is already underway. In fact, if you register by June 15, 2006, you can save $55 on the registration fee. Travel and housing is not included in the registration, but the conference has arranged for deeply discounted hotels for attendees.
The conference is moving to St. Louis, Missouri this year. At Tenth, we want to strongly encourage students and others who have an interest in God's work in the world to attend. Some scholarship money will be available.
For information about the conference, check out the Urbana website which gives the following invitation:
At Urbana 06 over 25,000 people will gather to worship God and hear how he is using people to accomplish his purposes throughout the world. For sixty years, God has been using Urbana conventions to change the lives of students and to advance His Kingdom in our world. If you are wondering how you might use your education, skills, and resources to share the love of Christ with people around the world, we warmly invite you to come to Urbana 06!

I would highly encourage students to go. I attended (back in the dark ages) during my second year of graduate school, it was amazing to be with so many other believers my age and to have my eyes and heart opened to the world of missions and missionaries.
I attended in '76. Remember hearing Elizabeth Elliot, Helen Roseveare, and John Stott who gave the daily Bible teachings.
Although I did not attend Urbana while in College, I know of several of did and had the blast of their life. I would encourage anyone even remotely thinkly about going to do so and not let finances stop you. Is there any way someone can contribute to the scholarship fund for Urbana?
Joe (and any others), if you wish to supplement the Missions Scholarship fund, you can write a check to Tenth with Missions-Urbana Scholarship in the memo.
Thanks for your interest in helping others get to Urbana 06. You are right that questions of finances should not prevent anyone from considering this opportunity.
