Passion Conferences is hosting Passion 07, a 4-day indoor gathering for college students from around the nation and world January 1 - 4, 2007.
Leading the worship, teaching and prayer gathering will be renowned speakers Louie Giglio, John Piper, Beth Moore, Francis Chan among others, as well as such acclaimed artist-worshipers as Chris Tomlin, David Crowder Band, Charlie Hall, Matt Redman and more. More than 20,000 students are expected from all across the USA and internationally, with 12 countries already represented, including Japan, South Korea, South Africa, Australia, Brazil and Ireland.
To keep up with the swell in registrations this year, main Passion 07 gatherings will be held in two locations, the Phillips Arena – Atlanta and the Georgia World Congress Center, both in the heart of downtown Atlanta. Similar to last January’s Passion 06 in Nashville, Passion 07 will provide smaller sessions through Community Groups, Family Groups and Late Nights.The Community and Family groups will allow students to unpack what they learn throughout the week in small group environments and the Late Nights give students a chance to “hang out” after the evening session ends each night.
More than an event, Passion is a movement. The heartbeat of Passion is the glory of God through a generation of college students living radically for His name so that campuses awaken to His fame. “Making our lives count for what matters most is a worthy goal, but a costly proposition, one that must be thoroughly absorbed and embraced if our lives are going to be shaped for His renown,” says Louie Giglio, Passion Conferences founder/director. “Thousands of students will merge from across the nation and around the world to sink their teeth into the confession of Isaiah 2:68.”
With registrations coming in much faster than for last year’s Passion 06, more than 15,000 have already registered for Passion 07. Students are encouraged to register early, as space is limited. Registration information, schedule and conference details can be found at www.268generation.com.
In order to make Passion 07 happen, over 1000 volunteers are also needed to serve throughout the conference in various jobs. For people over the age of 25, Passion Conferences requests they attend as a volunteer or as a leader of a group. Those interested in volunteering at Passion 07 are asked to submit a volunteer application atwww.268generation.com before the Dec. 15th deadline.
As Passion 07 approaches, an experience of last year’s Passion 06 can be heard on sixstepsrecords’ 9th Passion project, "Passion: Everything Glorious."
The Passion movement began in 1995 with a stirring in the heart of Passion founder Louie Giglio to see the 13 million college students (over 16 million today) of the nation awaken to the reality of a glorious God. Since then, millions have connected with Passion through one of the several gatherings, such as the OneDay gatherings and the Passion Experience Tour featured by the New York Times, CNN, among others, or through nine Passion worship recordings and four DVDs that have been released worldwide, selling well over one million copies. The domino effect has spawned a movement that has circled the globe.
