Soul Survivor and the World Wide Message Tribe to target Manchester

A REVOLUTIONARY plan has been announced whereby in the year 2000 the annual youth festival Soul Survivor and Britain's leading Christian dance band the World Wide Message Tribe will oversee a week of activities to see Manchester "changed for God". In the plan, an estimated 20,000 young people will converge on the city when Soul Survivor cancel their annual festival at Shepton Mallet in favour of an action week which will see mornings focussed on worship and teaching, afternoons with 20,000 young people out in the city and estates, and evenings with a series of large evangelistic meetings. When the news was announced at the fifth Soul Survivor festival at Shepton Mallet by the event's Mike Pilavachi it was greeted with wild cheering.
