Soul Survivor's Momentum Conference Closes with 4,000

Youth ministry Soul Survivor’s Momentum conference recently concluded with over 4,000 people - an increase of more than 60 percent from last year.

The five-day event included over 80 seminars to help delegates, mostly in their twenties, to ‘go deeper in their faith and equipping them to live their lives for Jesus in their place of work or study'.

Speakers included Brother Andrew, J John, Frog & Amy Orr-Ewing and Jo Saxton with worship led by Lex Buckley, Ben Cantelon and Martyn Layzell.

Mike Pilavachi, founder and Director of Soul Survivor and Momentum said: “Once Christians leave their teens they face a whole new set of issues and we wanted Momentum to reflect that. Our aim is to provide a place where they can come and get deeper Biblical teaching and deal with some of the painful things that life has thrown their way.
