Urbana's vision is to compel this generation to give their whole lives for God's global mission. God used Urbana'15 to prepare me to say "YES!" to becoming the next Director of Urbana. Through my adult life, God has used the Urbana conference to form and clarify my identity, to inspire my obedience, to broaden my definition of missions, and to move me to life-affirming, life-altering worship. As a high school teacher in 1987, as the director of children's ministry in 2000, and as an executive leader with Wycliffe Bible translators in 2009, 2012, and 2015, God kept bringing me to Urbana, meeting me there in ways that astonished me time and again. You can imagine how I feel about being a part of this movement of God in a new way!
