Urbana Conference

God gifted us with our unique lives and stories and He uses them to share His glory. As we come together at Urbana15, our stories and our lives are meant to be in harmony as the body of Christ, so we must lean in, even when it is uncomfortable, we must listen to the stories around us which point to the work that God is doing in us and throughout the world.

Prayer is powerful. Tonight, this was my prayer.

In my native tongue, Malayalam, we would call rain during events like weddings, and religious conferences “munmazha”. The word “munmazha” and “pinmazha” are usually used together in religious contexts, the literal translations respectively being close to rain before and rain after. The connotation of munmazha is rain showers before an event to signify that the event will be blessed or that blessings are coming.
