Urbana Day 3

Day three.
Here I am waiting to enter the exhibit hall during the most important day for us. It is fasting day, which means that students have no seminars to attend and only community meetings and prayer time. This means that many more of them than before will be visiting the exhibit hall. Pray that we would have good conversations and God would speak clearly to those whose hearts he's tugging at.

Last night was about cities - urban ministries. Than it went into HIV/Aids. We heard from Princess Zulu and Cathy Warren (Rick Warren's wife - don't worry, we'll hear from him tonite). The VP of World Vision and the ONE campaign introduced a friend of ours, who had a very personal and special message to us at Urbana 06. Bono shared how we can help make change through the ONE campaign. He jokingly referred to us as the respectable people and asked us to pray he wouldn't say something he shouldn't. As I was sitting there listening to Bono speak to the 20,000+ Urbana 06 delegates, I realized that this generation listens more intently to what someone like he has to say than some pastor from Sri Lanka. What we really need is more famous Christians. More missionaries to Hollywood, New York and D.C. As the youth of America changes, we need to re-think our strategies at reaching them. But that's all for another time and another person...I am here to hear what God has to say and to find those who God has already called to the Dominican Republic.
Keep praying!
