What is Soul Survivor 09? Simply explained, it’s five days in a field, with you, God, your mates and thousands of others too. Besides the cafés and other venues, the main focus of the week is God, and we spend each morning and evening gathering together in a massive tent (the Big Top) to worship God, learn from the Bible and wait on the Holy Spirit to empower, change and equip us.
We're in the process of gradually launching a new (awesome) looking site, that will have more details about Soul Survivor 09 than you could dream of.

WHERE WILL I SLEEP?
Usually in a tent that you bring and pitch yourself. If you’re not so keen on the whole tepee vibe a campervan or caravan would suffice. Or if the idea of getting back to nature just isn’t your cup of tea, then you can rest you laurels at a local B&B, though this will cost you a few extra bucks.
HOW WILL I EAT?
With your mouth and stomach and digestion system. Most get by on a delicious diet of camping stove cooked spag bol, bangers and smash or chilli con carne (mmm).Cafés and food vans will help supplement the diet of a hungry camper, those who run out of gas for the stove, or the unfortunate one’s who dropped the saucepan of beans.
WHO CAN COME ALONG? Anyone. Soul Survivor is unashamedly aimed at Christian teenagers, but you don’t have to believe in Jesus or be from any particular denomination to come. Everyone is welcome.
Soul Survivor is simple. No hype, just thousands of young people desperate to meet with, and be changed by Jesus. It’s been the same since day one, and now we’re nearly seventeen and still doing the same stuff. And why don’t we change? Well, it never gets boring. We’re always about the same key things:
1) Space for thousands of us to worship God with all we have
2) Time for us all to learn from the Bible and from the lives of others who are following Jesus 3) Spending a while letting God meet with us, heal us and equip us
Still we do some other bits too…
Faster than a speeding bullet, trendier than a haircut and iPhone combined and more fun than pogoing in a poncho (you can never be sad in a poncho), comes the freshest Soul Survivor programme since time began.
The funkadelic Mr Boogies has already said he’s taking up residence at Soul Survivor again (he loves it), plus there will be loads of sports to get all competitive about, cafes to chill out in, gigs to make you go deaf and more seminars to help your brain get bigger than you could wave a really massive stick at (and believe us, we’ve tried waving some massive sticks).
That’s not it though… mix in a daily silver screen blockbuster, a smidgen of trendy art gallery, one handful of gnarly skate park, a dash of ‘quality time with your mates’, a few new faces, hundreds of thousands of conversations, a little bit of a prayer venue and a good serving of hands on ‘teach me everything you know’ style workshops and you’re there. Pop it in the oven at gas mark 5 for about 30 odd minutes and there you have it; the freshest, tastiest, most tender Soul Survivor programme yet. Jamie Oliver would be jealous (allegedly*).
*We have to say allegedly as we don’t want Jamie to sue us. We actually like Jamie. He’s nice and has done a lot for chickens (when he isn't cooking them).
A whole new look web site that we hope will be easier to use than comfy chair (which you just have to sit in, so that's quite easy). The new site will include loads of details on what to expect next summer, guides to download, videos to watch, pictures to look at and audio seminar sessions to listen too.
We hope to launch mid November, but until then if you have any questions or need more info just give us a buzz on 0303 3331 333 or email us at info@soulsurvivor.com...
The videos you can watch above are all nicked from YouTube. They are all by you lot... filmed by the lovely people who come to our events.
However, if you'd like to see some official vids from us at Soul Survivor, just check out our YouTube channel. It'll help to give you an idea of what we do and why we do it if you haven't encountered us before.
