NHI will exhibit at Urbana 09, the missions conference sponsored by InterVarsity Christian Fellowship for North American college students every three years. An important first for us,this is the 22 "Urbana" conference since the first was held in Toronto in 1946. Urbana 09 will be held at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, Missouri, from December 27-31, 2009. Three hundred mission agencies, including NHI, and more than 20,000 people are expected during 5 days of events. Check these sites for more information: www.urbana.org and www.urbana09.org .
Pray for Mark and Chris as we prepare for the conference. Our newest NHI associate, Conrad Weaver, will help us with a video presentation to be featured at our exhibit booth. Colleagues Don and Sharon Lee plan to be with us. Our goals for the conference are (1) to network with other mission agencies, and (2) to meet and encourage people who working through God's call to cross-cultural missions. To serve in long-term, cross-cultural missions God is calling both a new generation of young people and an older generation of new mission associates from those of us who came of age in the turbulent '60's. NHI has opportunities right now in India, Czech Republic, Russia, and we don't want to miss God's open door elsewhere.
