Selling over 25,000 units and taking the No1 spot on the Christian Albums chart, No 15 on Billboards Top 200 and No 8 on Billboard's Current Digital Albums Chart, sixstepsrecords’ Passion: Awakening has experienced the biggest street week ever for a Passion record to date.
In addition to topping the charts, the latest single from the new album “Our God”, sung by notable worship leader Chris Tomlin, is currently climbing its way up both the AC Monitored and Indicator radio charts.
Featuring today’s popular worship artists Tomlin, David Crowder*Band, Matt Redman, Charlie Hall, Christy Nockels, Kristian Stanfill, Fee and Hillsong UNITED, Passion: Awakening was recorded live in Atlanta, GA earlier this year with more than 22,000 university-aged young people in attendance.
The heartbeat of the Passion Movement is not simply about filling arenas, but a generation mobilized to carry the message of God’s fame to the unreached, oppressed and forgotten wherever they are on the planet.
Over the course of Passion 2010 (held January 2-5), attendees responded to the challenge to wed worship and justice by giving more than 1 million dollars on-site to various causes around the world to help those in need through the Do Something Now campaign. Do Something Now, a movement launched by Passion in 2007, has to date funneled more than two million dollars to those in greatest need throughout the world.
Currently, Passion is preparing to set out on it's second World Tour beginning in May, with university gatherings planned in Kiev, London, Tokyo, Manila, Hong Kong, Sao Paulo and Vancouver.
Registration also recently opened for Passion 2011, which will take place January 1-4 in Atlanta, Georgia. Thousands of university students have already staked their place for the gathering. For more details on the Passion World Tour dates this year and Passion 2011, visit www.268generation.com
