Dr. Patrick Fung - Urbana 15 Expositor
Dr. Patrick Fung will be the Bible expositor at InterVarsity’s Urbana 15 Student Missions Conference, which will be held in St. Louis, December 27-31, 2015. He is the Director of OMF International (formerly China Inland Mission).
“Dr. Fung’s deep commitment to Scripture, love for students, and nearly 25 years of experience in the mission field make him a great expositor for Urbana 15. We’re thrilled to have him join us, and look forward to how God will use him to challenge conference participants.”-Tom Lin, Urbana Director
As both a Bible scholar and medical doctor, Dr. Fung has a deep passion to see God’s Word taught throughout the world.
“The Word of God is indispensable to the revival, transformation, and mission of God’s people. What a privilege it is that, as God’s people, Christ followers, we have this glorious ministry of bringing the Word to the world and connecting the world to the Word with hope, relevance, and purpose. I look forward to studying the Word of God together at Urbana 15.”
-Dr. Patrick Fung
During the conference, Bible study and exposition will focus on passages from the Gospel of Matthew.
“This generation is moved and inspired by narrative. And there is none more central than that of Jesus’ crucifixion and the cross, which we will study in the Gospel of Matthew at Urbana 15.”
-Tom Lin
