.- Although the family of Luis Palau announced last week that the world-renowned evangelist’s health was failing, his son Andrew Palau showed that the work to spread the gospel continues by holding an evangelistic festival last weekend in Brevard County, Florida.
The free two-day event was held on Saturdays and Sundays at Space Coast Daily Park. The festival, called Space Coast CityFest, had been in the making for more than three years with the participation of more than 200 churches and non-profit organizations.
The activity also featured performances by award-winning Christian music artists such as Zach Williams, Casting Crowns, Mac Powell, Mandisa, Andy Mineo, Social Club Misfits and illusionist John Michael Hinton.
Attractions also included a family fun arena and action sports demonstrations by several well-known freestyle motocross, BMX and skateboard athletes. Andrew Palau shared a message of hope and faith in Jesus Christ on both nights of the festival.
Palau also led multiple outreach activities and meetups throughout the region during “festival week.”
Events included prison outreach, a first responder breakfast, an evangelistic luncheon for civic and business leaders, and two meetings for women led by Wendy Palau, according to the Luis Palau Association website.
2 thousand people accepted Jesus
Festival organizers reported that more than 2,000 people made the decision to give their lives to Christ during the weekend event. In addition, thousands of people were reached during the week-long campaign, along with tens of thousands who watched the multiple live streams of festival events.
The festival marked 14 years since the last time the Luis Palau Association came to Florida. The association’s website noted that the last campaign, in 2007, was led by Andrew’s father, evangelist Luis Palau, and established many long-term relationships within the community.
The Palau Conference reports that with Space Coast CityFest acting as a catalyst, it has also provided opportunities for churches in Brevard County to put aside differences and come together in service.
