What would it be like…
to live connected to god every moment of EVERY day?
Better than anything in this world - perfect peace, joy unspeakable, endless love. Yet striving to attain this perfect connection for even one full day would leave us exhausted. The good news - it is not about what we can achieve - it is about Who He is and what He has done and continues to do… as He pursues us. Seek Him as you are and He will show Himself faithful in His pursuit of you.
This conference is designed to draw us towards the heart of God as He draws near to us. In this world we won’t have that unbroken perfect connection every moment of every day, but we can have an ever increasing knowledge of Him and filling of His presence. Knowing the character of God through experience gives us the assurance of His love, even in the seasons we don’t “feel” it.
We are praying our time at Pursue is filled with the every-increase knowledge and experience of the immense love of our God.

Room #112
Breakout Focus: Remember, Repent, Redo/Renew (Rev. 2:1-4)
Bio: Pastor Del Augusta is the founder of The Collide, which was a para church ministry that sought to birth revival in this generation through conferences, seminars, and spiritual gatherings. Pastor Del is now the founder of Collide City Church. Collide City Church is a multi-cultural spirit filled church in Fremont, CA.
Born and raised in San Francisco, Del lost his mother at the age of four to death and was raised by his grandmother in a Pentecostal church in San Francisco. He accepted Christ as his savior at the age of 12 and began his Preaching ministry at the young age of 13.
For the past years of ministry Del’s message has been marked with a humorous yet prophetic edge. Having travelled to over 10 countries preaching the gospel, Del’s desire is to see this generation come alive to Jesus in a sustainable way. Known for abruptness, Del believes that this generation is not waiting for more Sunday morning church services where we babysit the youth while the adults do their things. Del’s dream is to see churches awaken to the call to take over the world for Jesus without apology.
