Whether following the Urbana Student Missions Conference online (stay tuned for our updates) or participating in the conference in St. Louis, let us all pray for God’s discernment as we enter a new year of engaging God’s global mission in the context of higher education. May our head, heart, and hands first be offered to the Lord AND then extended in love to neighbor, community/communities, and creation to God’s glory!
