An 18,000 capacity crowd gathered in downtown Nashville Monday for the opening of the Passion '06 conference, with attendance representing all 50 states and 20 countries.
“We told you at the end of Passion ‘05 to bring your friends and apparently you took us up on that challenge because we cannot fit one more person in this building,” said Louie Giglio, Passion Conference founder and director, at the gathering’s opening session.
Registration closed last week when the conference reached its capacity of 18,000, which surpassed the 11,000 that attended last year’s Passion 05.’
“Passion is a tiny speck in what God is doing among college students in this nation and the world,” Giglio said. “But we have been praying for months that God would change you and that generations from now, people would be talking about what God has done in this town, in these days, in your life.”
Those attending Passion '06, which ends Thursday, will look forward to two more days of messages, worship, and fellowship as they delve into "what it means to live all of life for the glory of God," according to the Passion '06 website.
