USA (MNN) ― The world's largest missions conference is coming up in St. Louis on December 27-31, and HCJB Global will be there. If you're attending Urbana 09, the InterVarsity Christian Fellowship triennial missions conference, stop by.
"The best way to experience Urbana is by attending the multitude of seminars and by developing new contacts and new friendships," said Christy Chappell, InterVarsity's communications director for Urbana.
A volunteer systems engineer and three missionaries with experience in Ecuador, Latin America, Ghana, and Australia will share a booth with SIM International at InterVarsity Christian Fellowship's missions conference. HCJB Global and SIM have worked together on a number of radio and medical projects over the years, especially in Africa.
Nate Dell served among the Waorani people of Ecuador until his wife's health issues led them to return to Colorado in 2001. Nate has also been involved in short-term missions, as well as with healthcare, mass media, and leadership development in Ghana.
Roger and Lois Reimer will represent the new Global Involvement department of HCJB Global, which includes four arenas of opportunity: college internships, working visitors, ministry teams, and vision journeys. The Reimers began serving in healthcare in Latin America in the 1970s and have a passion to engage young people with overseas missions.
Amy Wong is a full-time systems engineer in the communications industry with a drive to use mass media to lead others to Christ. She will handle the team's technical concerns at the conference. She has volunteered with HCJB in Colorado Springs, CO; Elkhart, IN; and Australia, where she spent a year.
The team is eager to get to know you and answer your questions. It will also conduct Skype calls with missionaries on three different continents: in Singapore, Thailand, Malawi, Ghana, and Ecuador.
Mission Network News will be at Urbana, too. We'll be providing you coverage right here at our Web site, not to mention on our radio broadcasts. We'll also be posting "Video of the Day" shots at our Facebook and YouTube sites.
Pray that God will move in the hearts of many young people this year. There's still time to register. Click here: http://www.urbana.org/articles/still-time-to-register.
