Kevin:  I went to Urbana during my sophomore year of college. It was here that missions changed from being just a vague ideal to being a tangible reality with a wide diversity of options. It gave me both a vision for the world and a practical road map to follow. I also developed a romantic interest in the girl I shared a ride with to Urbana. We went as friends and came back as boyfriend and girlfriend. Next year we will celebrate our 25 anniversary and we will have served in Thailand as missionaries for 19 of them. 08/23/06

"

Mark 10:28-30 (NIV)
