An amazing day consists of sharing truth with those seeking it. On a cloudy day, a student goes to college having no idea they may find a truth that lightens their soul and awakens their spirit. Doing college outreach for me today felt like this. I felt that these kids who walk from classroom to classroom in drones dreading Economics or History find a small break relieving. I really enjoyed being their break from reality today. Some would come straight up to us and ask exactly what the book was about while others needed a little nudge. Either way everyone who came in honest contact of us today found some kind of complete interest by the time they left. It isn’t just about sharing the Truth with people but encouraging them to look outside their box, look for greater meanings and believe in something greater than what is put in front of them. So many young people are truth seeking and today I really realized they need hope. They need reassurance that going to class everyday and being a drone isn’t just what being a youth is about. It’s about finding yourself and having people like us helping them to do that. Epic day, needless to say.

Hi everyone.
Michael and I are starting a Urantia Book booth at Santa Barbara City College next month. I greatly enjoyed reading about your UB booth experience. We are looking forward to this on campus most excellent adventure!
Where can we acquire a poster such as what you have at your booth? Also, I am interested in purchasing some of the contact cards you have on the table. So far, RMSF has sent 2 beautiful new books and I printed out many pamphlets from the Urantia book club’s site per Don Green’s advice. Every bit of help and advice is appreciated!
Have a good day and thank you in advance.
Donna, That is such good news to hear! I can help you acquire materials through our committee of the Urantia Book Fellowship. They are very active in supporting College Outreach through the Youth and Young Adults Committee.
In fact I’ll bring some with me when I come up this weekend.
Thank you for being committed to sharing these teaching with young minds.
Dear Chelsea (& Teuvo?),
Good job!!1 It’s easy to make eye contact & tell if a person is seeking truth. Sounds to me like you really learned a lot…keep it up. As stated in our wonderful tome:
156:5.15 As the days pass, every true believer becomes more skillful in alluring his fellows into the love of eternal truth. Are you more resourceful in revealing goodness to humanity today than you were yesterday? Are you a better righteousness recommender this year than you were last year? Are you becoming increasingly artistic in your technique of leading hungry souls into the spiritual kingdom?
156:5.16 Are your ideals sufficiently high to insure your eternal salvation while your ideas are so practical as to render you a useful citizen to function on earth in association with your mortal fellows? In the spirit, your citizenship is in heaven; in the flesh, you are still citizens of the earth kingdoms.
Congratulations!!!
Wonderful! I love the creativity of “it’s more than being just a good person..its knowing the reason why.” That’s the kind of original “artistic techniques” we need!
