WHAT IS URBANA?

Urbana is a student missions conference hosted by InterVarsity, and we are on a mission to discover our place in God's global mission. This is a conference that calls thousands of people across the world to seek the truth in an eye-opening experience in which students gather to heed God's call.


WHAT IS OUR MISSION?

Since 1997, every three years, ISI/ICF students and young professionals have had the opportunity to participate in the Urbana Conference. I have been blessed to witness how this conference has deeply impacted their lives - shaping how they serve Christ in their professions, communities, and churches.

Through Urbana, many have caught a vision for God's mission and have carried the Gospel into their respective spheres of life. These former students and young professionals are not only faithful believers who go to church and raise families, but many have also gone the extra mile - becoming active partners in reaching the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

This year, Urbana 2025 will focus on mobilizing a new generation to reach the nations with the Good News of Jesus.

ICF has been sending students to Urbana since 1996.

Prayer Requests

For the Students: 

  • Pray for the students who have already committed to join Urbana 2025, and for others who are still discerning God's call to participate.

For Spiritual Growth:

  • Pray that each student will grow in their relationship with God and develop a deeper heart for His mission.

For Financial Provision:

  • Pray for God's provision for the financial needs of each student. Most of them come from non-Christian families and must raise their own funds.

  • Each participant needs to raise $600 to cover registration, meals, and lodging for the 4-day conference in Phoenix, Arizona.
