Greg Jao,
Urbana Announcements

Divisional Director
InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA, Chicago

Greg was born in Chicago, Illinois. He has been involved with InterVarsity for over seven years. He graduated from the University of Chicago, with a B.A. in English, and he graduated from Northwestern School of Law. Greg currently serves with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship as a Divisional Director for Northern Illinois/Northwest Indiana and as its Associate General Counsel.

A second generation Chinese American, Greg is an accomplished writer. Greg is a contributing author to Following Jesus without Dishonoring Your Parents, Voices of Conflict, and Voices of Hope.

In his free time, he enjoys music (Celtic, Broadway, contemporary bluegrass/folk, and much more!). He enjoys reading a mix of literature, from theology to science fiction. He is also a character in the Star Trek novel, The Kobayashi Maru.

Greg’s interest in missions comes from several areas of experience:

  • His thankfulness for how missionaries have reached out to his family and people to touch lives and directly influence his future.
  • His experiences on Global Projects, from a direct look at the Bible through the eyes of God’s global mission.
  • His growing sense of commitment to the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES), a movement that functions to reach students worldwide.

Greg has attended the past three Urbanas, playing the role of seminar speaker in each. At Urbana 03, he will be giving announcements.
