Urbana-bound

Four former Maranatha studenst will be heading out for the Urbana Conference in St. Louis. Anna, Brooke, Kelsey and Kirsten will arrive before the first meeting on December 27.

Urbana '06 draws together universtiy students around the world to consider God's Word regarding Jesus Christ to the world. Former held at the Unveristy of Illinois in Champlain/Urbana (with wonderful volunteers!!), the conference has been moved to a larger facility in St. Louis so as to double -- yes, double -- capacity. 25,000 to be approximate. Being the first year, the costs were a bit more and the statistical odds of logistical kinks astronomical.

Pray for the safe travel of many who attend, heart open to the Spirit of God and new friends who join in purpose and worship. Ask for God's protection of the speakers (especially our InterServe friend, Jim Tebbe!) as well as the staff who work around the clock all week.
