URBANA - The Experience Of A Lifetime - 22 URBANA A special activity that 3MF was involved with this year was UR BANA. About 60 Northwestern students spent their second week of Christmas vacation in Illinois getting a concentrated view of missions. The theme of the ses sions and seminars was, ‘‘Should we not be concerned? The focus of this theme was put on the ma¬ jor cities of the world. Amster- dam, Calcutta, Nairobi and Bo¬ gota are four of the largest and in need of hearing the gospel of Je sus Christ. Every morning there was a Bible study in which each floor studied a chapter of Jonah. Then the big assembly would meet to hear Ajith Fernando explain further the insights of Jonah. In the after noon there was over 300 sessions to choose from on differing to pics. Some special speakers were Joni Erickson Tada, Tony Cam- polo, Rebecca Pippert, and George Verwer. Each had a spe cial message to share that ex plained and opened new insights to those who went. Another exciting event was the Arena booths that were open in the afternoon for students to in¬ vestigate, Mission agencies and different ministring groups had booths with information and op¬ portunities for students to think and pray about what the Lord would have them do with their future. Many students who attend¬ ed this conference were touched with a new 2 eal to reach out not only to those in other countries but also to the people here in Min- neapolis St Paul. We should be able to feel what breaks the heart of God s was a saying that stu dents brought back. This is an ap peal that we should have a Christ- like heart for those lost and hurt¬ ing. A special event that everyone had a chance to participate in, was skip-a-meal. By skipping one meal, $88,000 was raised for re¬ lief agencies. Urbana allowed stu¬ dents to go and be filled with the burning desire to reach out and share that desire with others. ♦ Joni Erickson Tada speaks at one of the seminars. ♦ ♦ Northwestern students enjoying themselves before one of the many lectures.

1987 Summer Missions Short term missionaries from Northwestern cover the globe each summer. Last summer, 60 Students went on a short term mission, and 16 of them traveled to Haiti along with Mr. and Mrs. Richard Long, Assistant Professor of Broadcasting. Scott Shippy, who is the president of SMF, has 3 major goals planned for the organization. Information was provided through bi-weekly meetings, chapel, and hand-outs. Opportuni¬ ty was provided to help find places for peo¬ ple to serve in the twin-cities, world-wide, and this years Urbana trip. Support was pro¬ vided financially through the Friday offer¬ ings, and morally through the groups en¬ couragement. Last year, $14,000 was raised to send students to 14 different countries. There are also many visible aspects of SMF. Bi weekly meetings are held which include speakers and films. Weekly offerings are taken to provide money for those going on a short term mission. Also, SMF is responsible for providing their own missions team. Last year the team traveled to Haiti. This coming summer, Honduras will be the destination of the summer team. To sum it all up, Scott Shippy added. “Mis¬ sions is not just for a select few-but for alb” 2A Summer Missions
