Dec. 27-31-URBANA 76! Declare His Glory Among the Nations The llth Inter-Varsity Mis- sionary Convention convened at Urbana, Illinois, with 32 Multno- mah students a part of the 17,000 delegates in attendance. Sponsored by Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship, Urbana meets every three years at the University of Illinois. f'Uncle Arnien left from the Portland airport with his brood of ll. Throughout the week, Mr. Arnold Pearson was affectionately so-called by the MSB students who travelled by chartered bus or plane from places in California, Portland, Seattle and Denver. Uncle Arnie's group was among the first to arrive at Urbana around 3:00 a.m. After camping outi' in lounges of the dorm complex, his group registered in the morn- ing for a iam-packed week of Bible study, workshops, mes- sages, and testimonies. Englishinan John R. W. Stott, key-note speaker of the convention, expounded on the Biblical Basis of Missions. He covered the area of world evan- gelism as spoken of in God's Word. He related the situation in the world today with the place and responsibility of both the individual believer and the cor- porate body of Christ. ,Through small group Bible studies, prayer groups and daily Bible exposition, delegates saw Godis glory and were encouraged to see a vision of declaring that glory to all nationsf' Evangelists, missionaries and former mission- aries from Latin America, Africa and the Orient, spoke in morning and evening sessions, and during discussions and elective work- shops. Though efficiently organ- ized by the IVCF staff, the con- vention was marked by inform- ality and not rigidity. Besides a speaker, the evening sessions were filled with multi-media presentations, testimonies and music led by energetic Canadian Bernie Smith. g One of the many highlights during the convention was the 'fSacrifical Lunchw on Wednes- day, Dec. 29. Delegates were encouraged to 'fskip a meal for hunger relief at the noon meal. The University of Illinois rebated IVCF almost one dollar for every delegate who did not eat lunch. Another highlight was the communion service which closed the convention New Yearfs eve. Marian Snyder and Barbi Bruton helped serve during the late evening communion service. One student expressed it this way, 'LA greater part of Urbana was 17,000 subjective experiences of the Lord. Another part of the conven- tion was the 30 degree below zero weather. Delegates woke up one morning to a campus blank- jxeted by snow. Shivering students waited in the freezing cold for many of the shuttle buses that took them here and there for meetings and excursions. Housing combined two or three delegates per room in the universityis dormitories. Just as on the Multnomah campus, the week was a time of getting to know another brother or sister from agdifferent city, a different Qbackground, a different life-styles glnagadidition to the US, delegates came from areas as far as Austra- lia, the Middle East, Europe and-I Asia. California had other highest representation of delegates. A majority ,of participants were college students or college gradu- ates, with the male delegates slightly outnumbering the female. delegates. f Afternoons were spent in workshops or in consultation with missionaries. Intercristo, a computer service, had matched students with the groups whose needs they might possibly tfulfillf Over 100 mission boards occu- pied display space in the uni- versity armory. Also in the display area was the Multnomah booth. Each of the MSB students took a turn at 'miinning the booth and an- swering the questions of inter- ested delegates. The other groups had PR men manning their booth so MSB had an added element of personal experience to share one-on-one with delegates. A new feature of the con- vention, The Social Context of the International Career, pro- vided two college credits and a program to integrate the Urbana experience with a delegate's View of the church. The course seriously considered the social context, i.e. the impact of a different culture on the career of a missionary. The Summer Institute of International Studies CSIISJ, a group created after Ur- bana 273 to follow up on the 'needs of students in secular col- I .leges who attended that conven- tion, inspired and coordinated the course attended by students from major universities such as MIT, USC, and the University of California. Jan. 17-On their return to Mult- nomah after the Christmas va- . rcation, a .panel of five out of the 32 students who attended fthe shared in SMU chapel? about their Urbana experience. Carol Wegner related the impact Dr. Helen Roseveare, missionary, to Zaire, had on her concerning the cost of declaring God 's glory. She learned that in her vow to God for direction in the future, she had to remove the condi- tions she'had placed on it. Freshman Tim Robertson received insights into the mis- sionary's role on how to present the Gospel and also himself. Whenever he goes, wherever God 'trsends him, there will be a place
