Urbana: 28 December

Highlights from the first full day:

  • The first day in the exhibit hall began more slowly than we anticipated.
  • Hannah actually found two journalism seminars on the schedule and attended one of them at a hotel near the arch. The second is today.
  • We talked to a few people who were programmers or interested in web programming, and even got a few of their names for M-DAT.
  • Notable booths are the collaborative Bible translation effort, with 1,000 names of languages without the Bible in their native tongue. The idea is for delegates to pray for and then cross off and initial by one of these groups. OMF’s booth (the organization formerly known as China Inland Mission, the brainchild of Hudson Taylor) is also among the best, if not the best use of their space that I’ve seen so far — other than the enormous Aids “maze” which is part of the Urbana theme for this year.

Paul presently serves as communications manager for a small non-profit doing their print design and marketing. He spends as much time sculpting in his studio as possible — which is not nearly enough.
