Urbana 06 Seminars: Diverse People Reaching a Diverse World
The seminars in this major explore the strengths, struggles and opportunities associated with being part of a Body that is made up of different ethnicities and cultures. Some of the most valuable portions of this major will be the tools given by leaders experienced in multiethnic and ethnic-specific missions. In addition, there will be seminars tailored to ethnic-specific groups—Black, White, Latino, Asian, Native and First Nations—so that each may discuss the realities particular to the group’s own ethnic heritage. Come, learn, and be inspired to leverage and redeem the unique, God-given attributes of ethnicity and culture in a powerful way to advance God’s kingdom throughout the world! This major is open to all attendees.
