6 WSU students are headed to Urbana, December 27-January 1st.  They wrote these bios for a fundraising dinner in November.  Please keep each one in your prayers as they prepare for Urbana!


My name is Jocelyn. I'm a sophomore studying psychology. I'm looking forward to going to it Urbana 12. Since I began college, my biggest fear was losing my faith in the craziness that college brings, but overall, I've seen nothing but growth in my faith. Intervarsity has helped me explore my faith in ways that I never imagined. From Fall and Winter Conference to my time during the Summit project, I've seen God work in a variety of unexpected way. My hope is to continue living out God's word throughout my life.


Hello!  I'm Rebecca.  I’m a junior Elementary Education major from Silverdale, and I’ve been a part of Intervarsity for 3 years. I currently co-lead an off-campus bible study, and I’m learning a lot! My favorite Intervarsity experience so far has been Summit, a two week urban project in Tacoma where we served the homeless, and learned more about God’s love for all his children.  After I graduate I would love to find a way to combine my passion for God and my passion for education and children. I’m excited to go to Urbana to learn about opportunities for that.

Hi, my name is Luke and I am a broadcast production student at WSU. My dream job is working for either the Discovery Channel or the History Channel. I want to go to Urbana because I want to see what God has for me there. I also what to learn more about the mission field and what I can do to support the missionaries out in field.

WSU Students head to Urbana!

6 WSU students are headed to Urbana, December 27-January 1st.  They wrote these bios for a fundraising dinner and I wanted to share them with all of you.  If you're interested in giving to WSU students headed to Urbana, talk with Jeremiah or click here



Hi, my name is Andrew (above on left.) I am a senior electrical engineering student (I graduate in 4 weeks) from Everett, WA. I arrived at Washington State University (WSU) three and a half years ago with no intention of ever having anything to do with missions. But I ended up involved with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship at WSU. I was convicted that fall of my freshman year that I needed to give over lordship of my life to Jesus, no matter what the cost. That decision changed my life. Since then, I have tried to live out those heart changes, both on campus and off. That summer after my freshman year, I went on a two-week mission trip and service project in the Hilltop neighborhood of Tacoma. I’ve helped with the Dance for Justice, organized media fasts, co-led Bible studies and small groups in two different dormitories, and planned and executed a evangelism project centered around community service. This last summer, I went to China on a mission trip and cultural exchange program (pictured with Chinese roommate above.)  These experiences have been life-changing. But what happens after I graduate? What is God’s plan for me? Where will I go and what will I do? I hope that at Urbana, I will be able to gain a clearer sense of what God’s plan is, not only for me, but for the whole world.
