the genesis of the 268 student declaration

"Yes, Lord, walking in the way of Your truth we wait eagerly for You, for Your name and Your renown are the desire of our souls."
Isaiah 26:8

 

Flowing out of the confession found in Isaiah 26:8,and birthed through Passion Student Conferences, is the 268 Declaration. Consisting of five statements and prayers, this declaration captures the spirit, vision, and commitment of a new generation of students and leaders across the nation and around the world. Neither a simple statement nor a clever conference theme, the 268 Declaration is a challenge for life. Containing the phrase "I desire to magnify," each statement is rooted in the core value of living for the glory of God. Each statement is followed by a prayer, emphasizing that the pursuit of these commitments is a process. These prayers call us to total dependence on the inside work of Christ to transform our desires into realities, recognizing that we could never successfully accomplish such promises in our own strength. Grounded in the unchanging Word of God, each statement is followed by several passages that will prompt further study and application.
