The programs of InterVarsity’s Missions Department, including the Urbana Student Missions Convention and Global Urban Treks, are highlighted in an article in the September issue of Christianity Today. The article, entitled “The New Missions Generation,” is written by InterVarsity’s managing editor, Jonathan Rice.
The article observes that college students still play a key role in global missions two centuries after a prayer meeting under a haystack near Williams College that launched the North American missions movement. However, while students once left America on boats for a lifetime of missionary service abroad, they now fly back and forth to mission fields as often as they want.
Are today’s students committed to global missions? Read the article and see.
