1a. the main meetings
There’s loads of stuff to do at Soul Survivor, but let’s not miss the point. The events are all about God. Learning more about Him, worshipping Him and spending time in His presence. We've got a massive main venue at week A so that all of us can get together in one place to meet with Him. Read below to see what we mean!
worship
Worship is about our whole life, we show our love of God by what we do. But it’s also great to spend time just telling him we love Him and making it obvious that we’re for him: that we’re up for a radical life of following him wherever he leads and learning to be more like him.
One of the most natural ways to do this together is with music, so at our Soul Survivor summer events we spend a while singing songs, dancing around and expressing our love of God with our voices, words and movements.
In worship we focus on God, we tell him we love him, we meet again with Him and we are changed… and the glory is always His.
biblical and relevant teaching
The Bible is God’s word in our world. As we unravel its meaning and apply it to our lives we’ll hear God’s voice. At Soul Survivor we love to spend time listening in on the lives and experiences of loads of others who are trying to work out what it means to follow Jesus 2000 years after the party started.
Mike Pilavachi (the greek guy), Ali Martin (the maternal one) and Andrew Croft (the clever one) are hosting all our meetings, but they’ll be joined throughout the week by leaders, thinkers and friends who are bringing glory to Jesus with their lives in amazing ways.
prayer ministry:
When we meet together we try and give God as much space as possible to work within us by his Spirit. At Soul Survivor we try to make sure that our meetings are his meetings. We always ask him to be with us and do what he wants to do. We’ll ask him to heal us, to help us deal with our messes, to inspire us and to empower us to live fully for Jesus. We’re desperate to encounter him, so we will always ask him to be involved.
We’re all in this together. God can use any one of us, by his Spirit, to bring his peace, healing, forgiveness, purpose or words to any other one of us. God doesn’t have favourites. He loves us all and wants us all to get involved in what he is doing as we ask him into our lives.
So, during times of ministry, we love encouraging people to make themselves available to pray for others. It's awesome to stand with your mates as they let God deal with what’s going on with them.
We encourage everyone to take part and pray for each other, and in order to keep it safe we have an experienced 'Enabling Team' who will give you help or advice if needed.
the 360 degree gospel…
The Main Meeting times will take up just 4 hours of your day. There are still 20 hours left. We could, if we were super-dooper spiritual, fill every waking minute with meetings and songs, but that would miss the point.
God is about all of life: our waking, sleeping, chatting, tea drinking. He’s in it all. He sees the full 360 degrees - the whole circumference of life.
That’s what all the other venues are about… life. Finding God as we hang with our mates, flip an ollie down the Lift, are moved by the scene of a film in Celluloid, feel the buzz of some awesome tunes down in the Underground . God’s in it all and we love that, so get out there and find Him!
