PANAMA CITY, Panama, Feb. 26, 2024 /Standard Newswire/ -- At the invitation of dozens of local churches in Panama, the Palau Association will share the Good News of Jesus Christ in Panama City, February 26 – March 2, 2024, through numerous outreach events and a 2-day family festival in the heart of the city. Tens of thousands are expected to gather for the upcoming festival on Friday and Saturday, March 1 and 2. The free, family-fun festival is focused on serving the region and sharing a clear message of hope with the entire nation.

Working with, through, and for the local Church, this unified, area-wide campaign will proclaim the life-changing message of Jesus Christ on a nationwide scale and introduce a new model for long-term community change. The campaign will unite believers in Panama as well as local pastors and leaders, encouraging them in the Word, focusing on continued unity, and inspiring them to keep evangelism a top priority.

This campaign been long overdue. The last time the Palau Association had the opportunity to work alongside the believers of Panama was more than 30 years ago. The Lord has opened these doors to the team and their strategy builds upon decades of ministry in Latin America. The reach of this festival will be extended continent-wide through social media, radio, and television.

Through Palau's unique partnership among churches, as well as corporate and civic leaders, the Panama Festival will include:

• A powerful family-fun evangelistic festival. The 2-day event will put local training into action and proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ on a grand scale. It will include live Christian musical performances from the likes of Redimi2, Ingrid Rosario, Kike Pavón, and others; special outreaches for children; and clear proclamations of the Gospel from Andrew Palau.
    
• Affinity events reaching key sectors of society. Taking every opportunity to share the Gospel with the entire region, Andrew and Wendy Palau will also host special evangelistic gatherings for key sectors of society, including prison outreaches, gatherings for women, and a dinner for business and civic leaders.
   
• Bold community impact. Thousands of volunteers will commit hundreds of volunteer hours to the local community leading up to the festival through united, long-term efforts focused on the region's greatest needs.

While local leaders continue in this effort, the Palau Association will continue on in supporting similar campaigns in cities across the globe. Upcoming outreaches include campaigns in Austin, Texas; Kingston, Jamaica; Teesside, England; Lusaka, Zambia; Mendoza, Argentina, and more.
