Young adults from all 50 states, 51 countries and more than 1,600 universities gathered across three locations in Atlanta (Infinite Energy Arena and Philips Arena) and Houston (Toyota Center) January 2-4. Special musical guests included Rend Collective, Hillsong UNITED and surprise performers KB, Trip Lee and Tedashii, while students heard from renowned speakers Louie Giglio, John Piper, Christine Caine, Ravi Zacharias and Levi Lusko. The conferences took place simultaneously as bands traveled between locations, and each venue experienced live and simulcast teaching from speakers.

Along with continued support for the END IT Movement to end modern-day slavery, students also donated money for the construction of a hospital to serve at-risk mothers and children in war-torn Syria. Throughout the weekend, students proclaimed the name of God, joining together to sing anthems of worship from Passion: Salvation's Tide Is Rising. Passion 2017 will take place at Atlanta's Georgia Dome, with more than 60,000 college students expected to attend. Click here for additional information.

Passion: Salvation's Tide Is Rising follows in the footsteps of several Passion albums, many of which have debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Christian Albums Chart. Listeners have become accustomed to hearing live Passion albums recorded at the annual conferences, but for the first time ever, Passion: Salvation's Tide Is Rising was recorded in a studio prior to Passion, bringing a new element to the latest release.

About Passion Conferences
Led by a stirring in the heart of Atlanta-based pastor, Louie Giglio, Passion was birthed in 1997 to see the 20+ million college students across the globe awaken to the reality of an omnipotent and glorious Creator. Since then, millions of students from across the globe have joined the Passion movement, united across ministry and denominational lines, to seek the face of God in worship and prayer at several conferences, four world tours and multiple one-day and regional events. Passion's core scripture, Isaiah 26:8 states: "Yes, LORD, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our hearts." The small Passion Team is led by Louie Giglio and operates under the direction of a Board that is committed to spreading the fame of Jesus Christ to college students around the globe.
