We have put sharing Jesus at the forefront... people who may have never heard the life-changing message of Jesus, have now experienced God's love in a place they probably never expected to. Leading up to the weekend events, hundreds of local believers hit the streets to promote Sunday SVC and share the Good News. Many great interactions occurred with SXSW attendees - 417 people were even prayed for right there on the street by 70 street team volunteers! Together, we saw God move in powerful ways as people encountered Him through street teams, live music, and conversations surrounding faith, work, film, second-chance stories, music, mental health, and more. God broke down barriers and brought people to Himself in a significant way during our time at SXSW. We are praising the Lord for this open door to reach the unreached. Over two days, 5,500 people were reached with the Good News and more than 200 people indicated a decision for Christ. Stories of Hope at Hope Fest (Denver, Colorado) In partnership with MOMCO, we hosted a special evangelistic gathering in Denver, Colorado, to share the Good News of Jesus with moms in need of hope and restoration. Your prayers and partnership were vital for this event. Through your partnership, 5,000 women were reached with the Good News and many responded to the Gospel. Our prayer was for God to use this gathering to change hundreds of lives, and we saw the Lord move in the hearts of many of these women. As they responded to the Good News of Jesus at the event, they received a free copy of Wendy's newest devotional, Know Me, to help them grow in their newfound faith. Future U.S. Festivals |

From digital training resources to unprecedented live events, we take every opportunity to prepare and motivate believers toward culturally relevant, clear, and winsome Gospel sharing. Luis Palau Legacy Library Luis preached God's Word, proclaiming the Good News of Jesus for more than 65 years. Although he has gone to be with the Lord, his legacy lives on...and his teachings ring true even today! This year, we launched the Luis Palau Legacy Library-an archive of audio messages from the years Luis spoke, preached, and proclaimed the Gospel around the world. This resource hub will make it possible for a new generation (and longtime friends) to enjoy Luis' amazing teaching. We also made it available as a podcast so that people can access it anywhere! CID Talks Conversaciones Inspiradas de Diseno (Design Inspired Conversations) Madrid, Spain June 22, 2024 CID Palau is a digital platform of Ted Talk-style events and videos featuring innovative Christian leaders from across the Latin world. Experts in culture, design, and technology speak to how faith can intersect and advance the Church in spreading the Gospel in fresh, culturally relevant ways. This year, our live event hosted more than 1,000 in-person and thousands more online with predominantly Gen-Z and millennial viewers. Additionally, tens of thousands were reached through its publication on YouTube and Facebook. This CID Talks featured speakers and influencers with millions of followers on social media outlets in Latin America and worldwide, including Redimi2, Kike Pavon, Itiel Arroyo, Brenda Di Aloy, Andrea Franz, and Keka Martinez. These influencers shared their experience and expertise which helped to equip the audience to be salt and light for the Gospel in their circles of influence. We also hosted a gathering with local pastors where Andrew and Wendy shared about the relevance of reaching the new generations with an open mind and relating to them in a personal and pastoral way. Instituto Biblico Luis Palau (IBLP) The Luis Palau Association has spent more than a decade training Spanish-speaking pastors and leaders with a powerful, in-depth, online curriculum. Working with several strategic partners, this online Bible Institute has become a valuable training resource for Christian leaders throughout the Spanish-speaking world. IBLP is unique in its practicality and its prioritization of Gospel sharing as the essential shared mission uniting all denominations. 63,745 current active students 185 hours of Biblical courses Palau Prayer Team At the Palau Team, we recognize the power of prayer. And we thank the Lord for our amazing prayer warriors who go before us and behind us in prayer through all our endeavors. Led by Gail Stockamp, Wendy Palau, and Pat Palau, this group was started over a decade ago with a focus on praying for revival throughout the world. This faithful group of prayer partners play a vital role in the work of the ministry, lifting up each and every one of Palau's initiatives in prayer on a daily basis. When we pray together, the Lord opens doors-and hearts-in ways we never could have imagined. Prayer is the heartbeat of any great move of the Holy Spirit. From New York City to Haiti, Africa to China, the humble prayers of men and women have made all the difference in the evangelization of the world. "Over a decade ago, the Lord called Luis to begin our prayer team and springboard it into action. We began as a national women's prayer team for New York City. Since then, we have had a front-row seat to miracles through the power of prayer! Now, as our team has grown in faith and prayer, we have transformed into a global Palau Prayer Team! It is our honor and joy to lift up our Palau ministry to our Savior Jesus as they seek all people to come near to Him. Won't you join us in prayer too?" - Gail Stockamp |

Our City Gospel Movements team exists to celebrate and accelerate collaborative Gospel work by encouraging evangelism in cities across North America. In 2024, we saw God work in deepening our relationships with leaders as we shared the wisdom we have gained over the years-wisdom we've learned through being a neutral convener in our own city of Portland and across the country. This year, our emphasis has been focused on supporting cities in creating a strategic plan for collaborative evangelism in their city. Through deep relationships and strong resources that share our unique wisdom, we have been able to offer our support and guidance to Gospel Movements all across the country. 2024 HIGHLIGHTS: 125 leaders from more than 50 cities joined us for the Evangelism Team Lab. This year we intentionally focused on key leaders in the city who could effectively influence the collaborative Gospel-sharing culture. Jennie Allen joined us to share the vision of Gather25 and encourage leaders in their own spiritual life. Hosted three virtual Learning Labs - opportunities for Evangelism Teams to hear from influential voices in the evangelism space and learn from one another. Launched a new foundational resource that will inform our coaching and support of cities going forward - the Adaptable Playbook. This resource shares the cumulative wisdom of many cities we've worked with over the years, offering a clear but flexible path forward that is customizable for their city. Continued to increase integration with festivals to more effectively elevate evangelism in cities...before and long after a Palau festival. Partnered with several funding organizations to offer matching grants for cities to expand their evangelistic impact through large collaborative efforts. Continuing to cultivate and partner with National Partners focused on Evangelism, including our role as a Sponsor at the THINQ Next Gen Summit where we hosted a session on Evangelism for the Next Generation. 100-CITY-VISION PROGRESS: 50 cities with active Evangelism Teams 16 cities on the verge of launching 48 cities in the cultivation stages "I am humbled by the way that God is working through all of you to provide resources and encouragement." -E-Team Member, Wolcott, CT Evangelism Team Labs Evangelism leaders from 50+ cities across North America gathered in Portland in November for the fourth Evangelism Team Lab. They came together to strategize, connect, and be empowered to continue to share Jesus in their cities. Through the Lab, author and Bible teacher Jennie Allen shared a powerful message, encouraging everyone in the room. These dedicated leaders are committed to reaching the lost and making Jesus known in their communities. As we work to unite and resource pastors and leaders across the country, keep them in your prayers as they are the light and salt of their cities. "Your team has been such a gift to us, bringing a much-needed clarity and support to our evangelism efforts." -E-Team Leader, Omaha, NE Gospel Gatherings | TogetherPDX Throughout 2024, TogetherPDX gifted local pastors with events known as Gospel Gatherings. At these quarterly events, we are able to bring in world-class authors, theologians, and scholars to talk about various issues pastors are facing, including time for Q&A. There are not a lot of opportunities to talk to a room full of local pastors, and as such, our team always take these moments to encourage them with a story of evangelism and give them an opportunity to join a PastorsPDX group where the focus is "No Pastor Walks Alone." We're able to bring these world-class speakers in, and only charge pastors the cost of lunch, thanks to your generosity and the partnership of the Murdock Trust. "The content is always incredible, but for us, it's really about getting pastors in the same room together! The connections and friendships that are made are always an incredible bonus." -Elise Galis, TogetherPDX's Program Director Maybe something in the design to highlight the four gatherings: The Majesty of God with Simon Ponsonby | January 25, 2024 Greater Portland Bible Church 103 people attended.
