What’s Urbana?
Since InterVarsity started the Urbana Student Missions Conference in 1946, it has impacted over 250,000 people to devote their lives to God’s global mission. Urbana 12’s mission is to compel this generation to give their whole lives for God’s global mission. Participants are challenged by missions leaders, are able to speak with hundreds of missions organizations, get to attend an amazing selection of seminars and tracks and study the Bible inductively with other students listening for God’s call on their lives.
Find your calling. Get prepared. Start with 12.
