With registrations coming in much faster than for last year’s Passion 06, more than 15,000 students representing 48 states and 12 countries have already registered for Passion 07. Students are encouraged to register early, as space is limited. Although the venues are larger than last year, the Passion 06 conference sold out in advance, bringing together more than 18,000 in Nashville with college-age students representing every state, 1,100-plus campuses and twenty foreign countries. 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 at www.268generation.com before the Dec. 15th deadline.

As Passion 07 approaches, an experience of last year’s Passion 06 can be heard on sixstepsrecords’ ninth Passion project, Passion: Everything Glorious. The recording features music recorded live from the main stage at the Passion 06 gathering. Released April 4 to wide critical acclaim, the project claimed the highest street week sales ever for a Passion recording launching to No. 1 on the SoundScan Praise & Worship sales chart and landing at No. 69 on the Billboard Top 200, while simultaneously becoming the second highest full album debut in the history of EMI CMG digital releases.

The Passion movement began in 1995 with a stirring in the heart of Passion founder Louie Giglio. Born out of a desire to see the 13 million college students (over 16 million today) of the nation awaken to the reality of a glorious God, the vision took shape under the leadership of men like Giglio and the board of Choice Ministries, the non-profit umbrella for Passion Conferences. Like-minded campus ministers then met together in 1996 and paved the way for the first of three Passion gatherings (1997, ‘98 and ‘99) that united over 18,000 college students with the desire to see God magnified in their lives, their campuses and throughout the earth.

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.

Collegiate Gathering Leaders Include Louie Giglio, Chris Tomlin, John Piper, David Crowder Band, Beth Moore, Matt Redman, Francis Chan, Others
