Urbana is a triennial Youth Evangelical Conference held in the United States, with the objective of encouraging University students and working adults into devoting their lives towards missionary and evangelical work. I have had the burden of attending Urbana since 2006 when I was receiving theological training. It was also my desire to lead a group of youths to Urbana, such that they may contemplate on the calling from God towards their lives. 2006 and 2009 were the years when my two daughters were born.

In September, I went to mission trip to Costa Rica with Operation Christmas Child (OCC). The team consisted of six pastors from Greater Toronto area, one of us was Rev. Wesley Lim from TCCC, and two staff from OCC. We were there to distribute shoe boxes to the children
