What is Urbana?
Urbana is the missions conference for North American students hosted by InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA and Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship of Canada. Urbana 09 will be our 22nd conference. The first “Urbana” was held in Toronto in 1946. From 1948 to 2003, the conference was held at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. Since 2006, Urbana has been held at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, Missouri. Generations of college students have come to Urbana to hear about cutting edge issues in missions and to respond to the call to participate in God’s global mission. During the five days of Urbana participants will experience multicultural worship and drama, dynamic speakers, in-depth Bible study and prayer. They will also be encouraged to explore short-term and vocational opportunities as they interact with representatives from more than 300 mission agencies and educational institutions. Attendance at Urbana is usually around 20,000. Urbana 09 will be held December 27-31, 2009.

Pastor and famed producer Steven Ford is gearing up to host a music symposium at the University of Delaware in Newark. Called “Is your music department a ministry or a misery?”
The workshop is designed to develop future musicians and producers on the college level, as well as those just starting in the professional arena.
Ford has garnered years of experience within the industry, producing for artists including Fred Hammond, Richard Smallwood, Pastor Shirley Caesar, Bishop T.D. Jakes, Maurette Brown Clark, and Pastor Donnie McClurkin.
Last Year Ford said, “For many years I’ve imagined what a blessing it would be for others if I could pour knowledge and experience into a bottle, package it, and offer it. Well, this is the bottle, the package, the gift, to the ‘Gifted Ones.’” He continues by saying, “This is the conference that you must attend. Come, share with me and my phenomenal gifted brothers and sisters as we pour out, and give you insight and instruction in music and ministry. Come be empowered, as we impart knowledge and experience that will enhance your ability to present the manifestation of your gifts that God may be glorified, and that lives be challenged, charged, and changed.”
