“Are you willing to follow Jesus into the storms?”
More than Urbana’s in recent memory, Urbana15 came back over and over again to the costly call of following Jesus.
Patrick Fung, Director of OMF International, preaching out of Matthew shared the question above, but as well through worship, drama, Bible study, and active response we were brought into the reality of following a Jesus who found a place to “lay his head” at the cross.
One striking moment was interceding for the persecuted church through the resources of Open Doors while we sang “I have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back, no turning back.” After listening to testimonies of solitary confinement and those losing their lives for Jesus, singing the song became real in a new way for me.
The question that I left Urbana with – Where is God inviting this generation of students to?
