The Beginnings of Soul Survivor
“In the early 90s, I (Mike Pilavachi - ed.) was the youth worker at St Andrews Chorleywood, an Anglican church in Hertfordshire.
In my youth group there was a 15-year old kid called Matt Redman who worshipped his heart out at the back of meetings.
When he began to play the guitar, I encouraged him and he started to lead our worship.
Both of us were longing to grow in our own understanding of worshipping Jesus and one day we said, "Wouldn't it be great to worship the lord together without the feeling that we've go to lead the group and do this and that…?"
So Matt said, "Why don't we spend an evening a week just worshiping the Lord? Saturday is the best night of the week - why don't we give God Saturday night?" I agreed.
So for a few months, Matt and I would go into the church on a Saturday night for a couple of hours.
He'd get his guitar out and the two of us would sing songs to Jesus, pray, read the word and sing in the Spirit.
Gradually other young people started joining us and that's how Soul Survivor started. It was all by accident.”

2 Corinthians 3:7-18
Glory of the New Covenant
7 But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? 9 For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory. 10 For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels. 11 For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious.
12 Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech— 13 unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away. 14 But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ. 15 But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. 16 Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
