Jubilee Conference 2008: “RE-IMAGINE”!

Saturday, Feb. 16, 2008

(information for PSU international students)

      Imagine a world where everything matters to God. Imagine a world where your life would have a lasting impact. Imagine a world where Jesus shapes life. Imagine a world where Jesus is King.  

      The annual JUBILEE Conference in Pittsburgh is a wonderful experience of imagining the kingdom of God . Jubilee will inspire you to see the world as Jesus sees it; it will connect you with amazing people, and it will give you a powerful vision of your place in God’s story. It's a great opportunity to spend a day thinking about life and where and how we fit into the world. It's also a good time of fellowship, and a special experience to be there with 1500 other college students in the Hilton Hotel ballroom. Please plan your schedule so you can attend! ICF can provide a scholarship to pay  $75 of the $95 one-day conference fee! You only pay $20, plus the cost of "fast food" lunch and dinner. We will cover the transportation costs. Here is some more information:

      The JUBILEE Conference will be held at the Westin Convention Center in Pittsburgh on Feb. 15-17. Our PSU international group will just attend the conference for the day on Saturday, Feb. 16. We will leave State College at 7 AM (I will pick you up wherever you live in State College ), and return by midnight . During the afternoon “Breakout Sessions” you can choose between a variety of speakers and topics (see the www.jibileeconference.com website for details. Over the lunch and supper breaks we will explore some of downtown Pittsburgh together. In the evening there will be some great singing and the featured speaker is Charles Colson, former White House counsel, founder of Prison Fellowship, and winner of the Templeton Prize in Religion for his work for justice and prison reform. (Also, there are special programs available for African and African-American students, and for Latino students.) See the www.jubileeconference.com website for details on everything.

     NOTE: Registration for the full Jubilee Conference is usually done at the website on-line, but our group will instead formally register on Saturday morning when we arrive, since we will only attend the Saturday portion of the Conference. Just download the registration below, complete it, and turn it in to be registered to be part of our IMPS group.

     I really encourage you to attend. Hope you can! (To get a scholarship, please register by Monday, Feb. 11, so I can arrange it.)
