Urbana 2000 Connects Worship and Mission
Opening statement at Urbana 2000 "Urbana is
about worship leading to mission and mission
leading to worship--- all in response to God's
initiative and great love 'because He first loved
us.'"

Urbana 2000 Worship Leader Sundee Frazier
"If God is love, how can we leave worship
times unmoved by the plight of those who
don't know His love? After spending an hour a
morning in God's presence, how can we not tell
our family, our friends, our future friends about
Jesus?
True worship, then, should motivate me to share
the love of Jesus just as I have experienced it
in worship."

John Bendor-Samuel Former Head of Wycliffe/SIL
"Here's the experience of Wycliffe in two quick
sentences
In areas where translators encouraged new
believers to sing newly-translated Scriptures,
the churches grew rapidly. Where that did not
happen, churches grew more slowly."
