Urbana 15 'LiveBlog' 2

Dec 28

Yo. Today was so action packed, it felt like 14 days.

Times in the Pastor and Church leaders track I got to spend with 'Asian Canadian' church pastors who I actually know or had friends go to their churches.

Sessions today were interesting. Somewhat split focus between missions and activism.

Patrick Fung and Francis Chan are so great.

Got to hear Christopher Yuan speak and learned a bit of Hebrew which further helps me understand the Biblical stance on SSA stuff.

Lunch was crazzzy. [hundreds of people. one grocery store. use your imagination. haha. But I got out before the long line. Buuuut one of our roommates did not and there was a staircase behind the cashiers so I got to watch him slowly move through the line while people dropped things and weren't paying attention]

Mission is great.

Ttyl.

Yo. U15 eh? As usual it's making me uncomfortable and that's a good thing. There has been a large focus on unifying diverse parts of the body of Christ. [is that all I wrote that day? woooooooooow.]

Yo.

Today was crazy. Bible study was AMAZING! (Matt 25 in light of Matt 10 man!) Then David Platt was up talking about the woman who poured perfume on Jesus and how we need to have our whole hearts belong to Jesus, which really resonated with me. I'll tell you more about that later.

Prayer. A seminar on short-term mission (which was soooooooo good and I'll definitely talk more about this later), pastor discussion about partnering with parachurch (which due to poor attendance was not as good as I had been hoping for, honestly). Dinner. Main session which included a bunch of worship as well as communion and dramatic reenactment of the last supper and crucifixion. And now we're back. So much to talk about. So good. God's heart for the world is so large. His love so wide. Our sinso great and yet His grace is still more. May I grow to love Him more and mission flow out of it.
