By John Ma

Next year, January 2-5, Passion '05 will reunite for its annual event and gather four renown artists, Chris Tomlin, the David Crowder Band, Matt Redman and Charlie Hall, as well as speakers Louie Giglio, John Piper and Beth Moore in Nashville, Tennessee. The event will be a four-day indoor gathering for college students from around the world.

Officially titled, "A Generation United For His Renown," the Passion '05 conference will be based on Isaiah 26:8 and the Passion ministry's "268 Generation" core concept of calling students everywhere to discover the meaning to live for the Glory of God on their campuses and throughout the world.

The Passion organization has recently recorded its latest project with sixstepsrecords, Hymns Ancient & Modern: Live Songs Of Our Faith, which released in February, and remains a Top Ten hit on the Christian albums chart.

The project features all-new concert recordings from Chris Tomlin, David Crowder Band, Charlie Hall, Matt Redman and Christy Nockels singing church songs over 100 years old. Each track features the latest modern worship production and an additional new praise chorus, while preserving the original work.
