Lit up above him was a huge sculpture depicting Babylon. But it wasn&#8217;t old Babylon \u2013 it was today&#8217;s Babylon. At the top of the sculpture were pictures of the comforts and luxuries of modern life \u2013 wealth, technology, fashion, food&#8230; Below them were pictures depicting the reality \u2013 the exploitation and enslavement of the many people in our world who pay the cost to make the luxury possible.<\/p>\n<p>This was part of Urbana18 \u2013 a mission conference for students from the USA and Canada.<\/p>\n<p>Engaging with the book of Revelation, 10,000 students were invited to take a brick to represent their own complicity in Babylon and commit to making choices that say \u2018yes&#8217; to Jesus. Each brick was printed with the words:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Come out of Babylon, my people.&#8221; Revelation 18:4<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This was just one of many ways students were asked to respond to the book of Revelation and step into mission during the week. Matthew commented:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hearing the stories of everyone being convicted to listen to and act on God&#8217;s callings has been so immensely encouraging. It&#8217;s made me think about how I can turn my faith from acknowledgement into repentance and action.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pray with us for students returning to their universities after attending Urbana.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pray for courage to make decisions that say \u2018yes&#8217; to Jesus on their campuses.<\/li>\n<li>Pray for many to respond to the call to mission \u2013 in their universities, workplaces and to the ends of the earth.<\/li>\n<li>The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.
