The 12-track album features the vocals of their Facebook and Twitter fans recorded live outdoors around a campfire on Ballyholme Beach, in Northern Ireland.

To accompany their album, Rend Collective Experiment have a free resource pack on their website for churches and groups to host their own "campfire" outreaches.

The resource pack includes 10 chord charts and lyrics. 

"The Gospel burning in you has more in common with the untamable wildfires we see on news reports than the domestic one warming my mum's living room," shares Rend Collective Experiment in the Resource Pack. "In short, fire is for spreading, and disciple-makers such as yourself instinctively know this. We are excited for how God will use you, in the power of the Holy Spirit, to ignite your community."
