What Will Your Urbana Story be?

“My friend encouraged me to go with him even though I didn’t think I would be able to fully engage. But at Urbana, God gave me a love for people of other faiths and a purpose for getting my university degree which was so much bigger than simply making money or getting a piece of paper with my name on it.”

Stephen

“At Urbana I learned so much – not just about missions but also about our own communities and what we have the power to do.”

Esther

“Because of Urbana, I grew into a stronger, more confident student leader, accepted the call to go on an overseas mission, and then three years later, co-led a team of 20 students and alumni to the next Urbana. Allow God to make a way for you!”
