ÂÌñÒùÆÞ hosted its 26th Urbana Student Missions Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana, December 28-31, 2022, inviting almost 6,000 participants to deeply consider how God is calling them to use their gifts and passions in his global mission.
With David Howard’s passing yesterday, ÂÌñÒùÆÞ remembers his lasting impact mobilizing students and campus for God’s global mission.
As director or assistant director of multiple Urbana conferences (51, 70, 73 and 76) and as president of both Latin American Mission and the World Evangelical Fellowship, David’s humble and servant-hearted leadership in missions spanned nearly six decades.
