CELEBRATING THOUSANDS REACHED DURING SPACE COAST CITYFEST

After more than 2 years of active preparation and prayer, thousands of followers of Jesus and hundreds of churches throughout Brevard County, Florida came together for Space Coast CityFest with Andrew Palau, culminating in a free, 2-day, evangelistic festival at Space Coast Daily Park on March 6 and 7.

Hosted by over 200 churches, businesses, and nonprofits, this year-long, region-wide campaign has been focused on serving the region and proclaiming a powerful message of hope in Jesus through multiple evangelistic gatherings, training events, and community service initiatives.

“Turn from the way that leads to death and walk with Jesus today and receive the abundant life,” shared Andrew Palau, “Listen to His promise: He says, ‘If you confess your sins, I am faithful and I am able to forgive your sins and cleanse you from all unrighteousness.’”

In an effort to expand the reach of Space Coast CityFest and this message of hope, Andrew Palau led multiple outreaches and gatherings throughout the region during "festival week." Events included prison outreaches, a first responders breakfast, an evangelistic luncheon for civic and business leaders, and two gatherings for women led by Wendy Palau.

All this was in the lead up to the 2-day festival at Space Coast Daily Park on March 6 and 7 featuring award-winning artists Casting Crowns, Zach Williams, Mac Powell, Mandisa, Social Club Misfits, and Andy Mineo. Andrew Palau shared a clear Gospel message each night and challenged those in the crowd – and those who tuned in online – to give their lives to Jesus Christ. The 2-day festival also hosted a family fun stage, stunt demos from professional skaters, BMX, and FMX athletes (in partnership with The Stunt Dudes), and multiple presentations of the Gospel.

This event marks 14 years since the Palau Association last came to Florida. The last campaign in 2007 was led by Andrew’s father, evangelist Luis Palau, and established many long-term relationships within the community.

With Space Coast CityFest acting as a catalyst, the movement has also been providing opportunities for the churches of Brevard County to set aside differences and unite in service. In an effort that has come to be known as CityServe Brevard, the churches are focusing on several areas of need including foster care and adoption, school partnerships, ending homelessness and hunger, helping at-risk families and neighborhood revitalization, and bringing awareness to the opioid crisis and mental health. For more information about CityServe Brevard, visit www.cityservebrevard.org.

While local leaders continue in this effort, the Palau Association will move on to support similar campaigns in cities across the globe. Upcoming cities and countries include Hermiston, Oregon; Blantyre, Malawi; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Egypt; Mendoza, Argentina; Naples, Italy; Pakistan; Manchester, New Hampshire; Manchester, United Kingdom; and Ghana.
