Rend Collective Experiment reach No 1 on iTunes

Rend Collective Experiment's latest album, Campfire, has reached number on iTunes' Christian/Gospel chart three months after its release.

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.

Their single release from the album, "Build Your Kingdom Here" has garnered over 375,000 views for its companion video, which can be viewed here:

Rend Collective members Gareth Gilkeson and Chris Llewellyn also share their hearts about the song in a new video here: 

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."
