2. What’s Urbana? The largest student missions conference in the world A space for students to discern God’s will for their lives

3. "At Urbana, I heard not only an affirmation from God about my goal in life, my career path in graduate school, but God made clear to me how powerful and faithful He is and that no one should ever be afraid to say 'yes' as God is enough for us and only God is enough… I will continue to pray that once God is calling me, I will be ready to say 'yes' to him as He is really worthy of everything!" Urbana 12 Track Participant

4. What’s the IST? A residential track created for international students and those ministering among them The IST puts the missional call of Urbana into a context internationals can apply to their lives

5. Who can come? Not just InterVarsity students! International students and scholars, including those doing OPT and recent graduates Anyone ministering among internationals

6. "I learned so much about how to reach out to people of other cultures. I was blinded by my North American lens and had a misguided view of missions. I now have a renewed passion and excitement for creating cross-cultural relationships, especially in a different country. I really realized that it doesn't matter that I am weak and human and I falter; God wants to use me in spite of those things. I am just amazed by God's plan and how beautiful it is; I want to be a part of it, despite my fears and failures." Urbana 12 Track Participant

8. What should I expect? Daily Bible studies done as a multilingual, multicultural group Daily track sessions on navigating God’s call to global mission with the unique challenges and giftings internationals have Daily prayer meetings grouped by home country Seminars and informal discussions on global missions, business and technology, justice, and evangelism Time to connect with international alumni in all areas of mission Prayer ministry from people who know and understand internationals

9. "I think my life was turned upside down. At this Urbana, I followed God's calling to do long term missions after graduation. I throw away all my insecurities and future expectations and fully let God take control of my life." Urbana 12 Track Participant
