This was a special campaign for Andrew and Wendy. Returning to the stadium where Andrew responded to the Good News felt full circle. The Lord reached out to Andrew back in 1993 as he listened to Luis share the Gospel with the crowd. As he stood on the stage and shared the life-changing message of Jesus, one couldn't help but think of all the people who responded, just like he did more than 30 years ago... how God may call them to a similar path-choosing to dedicate their lives to proclaiming the message of Jesus. There is nothing better than that! Through the Fun in the Son Festival, thousands of people were served and reached through mission teams, prison outreaches, and affinity events for men and women, school assemblies, health clinics, and more. The Gospel was presented to more than 25,000 people and more than 2,000 indicated a decision for Jesus. Praise God! Festival Palau Panama (Panama City, Panama) Partnering with the local churches of Panama and thousands of local believers, Festival Palau Panama proclaimed the Gospel on a massive scale, introducing more than 150,000 people to Jesus Christ in person. It had been more than 30 years since our team last had the opportunity to minister alongside the churches of Panama, but by God's provision, and at the invitation of dozens of local churches, we served Panama through a unified, area-wide evangelistic campaign that included multiple affinity events reaching every sector of society and a free, family-friendly festival in the capital of Panama City, drawing attendees from the region and across the country. We extended the reach through social media, radio, and television, furthering the message of Jesus to millions throughout Latin America. Whether it was some of our team members sharing the Good News and praying with their Uber driver, the President of Panama hearing Andrew share his story of forgiveness and redemption in Jesus, or a woman in one of the prisons having a heart-to-heart with Wendy, people all over Panama were met with the hope of God like never before. Best of all, 9,623 people responded to the Good News of Jesus! Festival Palau Mendoza (Mendoza, Argentina) Our team was invited to return to Argentina and partner with 376 churches for a massive outreach effort in November. Throughout the week, we were able to reach people from every sector of society through 10 affinity events, including local leaders, soccer players, women, prisoners, and more. It all led to the festival weekend where 130,000 people were met with the Good News of Jesus. Whether through the kids' program, live musical performances, or Andrew sharing his own story from the stage, the Gospel went out with power, leading more than 5,400 people to respond to the message! That's 5,400 people leaving the festival with a new sense of hope and purpose... one set on Jesus and His love for them. Festival Teesside (Teesside, England) Our festival in Teesside, England, was a testament to what can take place when churches get serious about uniting for the common purpose of sharing the Good News of Jesus with their local community. Joining together for the Gospel, 70 churches helped put on a massive outreach effort that blessed their region and brought people into the Kingdom of God. Throughout the week, Andrew and Wendy-along with the team-were able to serve people in marginalized communities, prisons, schools, and at events for women, men, and university students. This all led to the festival weekend that featured carnival rides, live musical performances, action sports, and more. During each night of the festival, Andrew shared about his journey in finding hope with God and encouraged the crowd to give their lives to Christ. We were honored to be invited to take part in Festival Teesside. More than 30,000 people were reached, leading to 1,685+ people responding to the Good News! Love Zambia Festival (Lusaka, Zambia) More than 2,500 local churches united for a summer of evangelistic ministry. This campaign helped saturate 5 cities with the clear Good News! While our team has shared the Good News in many countries around Africa, this was the first time we have been in Zambia. This campaign was immensely fruitful because not only were we invited to host a massive, family-friendly festival in the capital city of Lusaka, but our GNE team led a summer-long campaign that included a frontier mission outreach and four partnership festivals in the cities of Kalulushi, Mufulira, Chingola, and Ndola. The 3-day Love Zambia Festival in Lusaka reached more than 180,000 people in person, leading more than 77,500 people to respond to the Gospel. Through the entire Love Zambia campaign (May through September), more than 751,000 people were reached IN PERSON in Zambia this year with more than 218,400 indicating decisions for Christ. China Outreach (Shaanxi, Xinjiang, and Beijing) This year's China outreach would not have been possible if not for our last visit in December 2023. It was our first post-pandemic trip to China, and we knew it would be telling. Much leadership in the nation had changed... meaning we would be meeting and working with new individuals. But praise the Lord, the team experienced unprecedented favor. We were received with warmth at many strategic meetings. As Andrew forged genuine relationships with new leaders, they reflected that our visit came at "just the right time. only that, but they also wanted us back. And this time, they were inviting us to regions that had not been available to us in the past. They included the cities of Xi'an, Shaanxi and Urumqi, Xinjiang - regions often considered the most isolated and "protected" of areas, which we were able to visit this summer. Through your partnership, we shared the Gospel and ministered to more than 1,800 individuals through multiple gatherings in three regions: Xi'an, Shaanxi; Urumqi, Xinjiang; and Beijing. Hundreds of people were led in a prayer of salvation. Praise the Lord for this harvest! Future International Festivals 2249754 31600 DIGITAL MINISTRY INVITING THE WHOLE WORLD TO KNOW JESUS Our Digital Evangelism Strategy: HOPE WITH GOD & SI HAY ESPERANZA Imagine with us...what if every person on earth had immediate access to the Gospel and Christian community? In 2024, we sent the Gospel to nearly every nation on earth! Every day, our Gospel invitations are sent to over two million people on social media, in English and Spanish. This is unprecedented access to broadcast the Gospel on major advertising platforms. No one knows how long it will last. Through partners like you, we are taking full advantage of this tremendous open door! Heartfelt Gospel messages from Andrew and Wendy Palau creatively engage spiritual seekers, connecting with the lost in their moment of need. They can say, "Yes!" to Jesus from right where they are. REACHING THE NEXT GENERATION ON TIKTOK Last year, our Gospel ads soared to new heights in nations like Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar through placements on TikTok. Over 1.3 million Egyptian accounts-predominantly young men-encountered the life-transforming message of Jesus Christ through Andrew and Wendy's powerful testimonies. While we constantly evaluate the most effective social media platforms for spreading the Gospel, one truth remains undeniable: this generation is hungry. They are actively seeking life's answers in the digital realm, using technology to explore spiritual realities previously restricted by their immediate culture. This is a God-ordained opportunity, a Kairos moment, to bring the light of Christ into the deepest corners of the Middle East. GLOBAL PUBLIC READING OF SCRIPTURE From all across the globe, our Hope with God community gathered online for 15 weekly meet-ups to engage in the ancient practice and communal experience of hearing scripture read out loud. For many living in hard-to-reach places such as Nigeria, India, and Ghana, time of group discipleship and hearing the Bible is a precious opportunity to grow with God. It's our joy to provide new believers in the Hope with God community with access to our live Public Reading of Scripture meetings, encouraging daily scripture engagement through the Public Reading of Scripture app. SPANISH AUDIO DRAMA BIBLE More than one million people have been blessed by hearing God's word through the Spanish Audio Drama Bible. The app features some of Latin America's most prominent actors who enliven the scripture and bring God's word to life. The creation took more than two years to produce and the collaborative team is now working on a Portuguese version. We pray this resource draws Spanish-speaking people closer to Jesus through the hearing of God's word. 2024 Digital Gospel Impact 14,705,491 clicked to view the Gospel Presentation 3,341,785 indicated decisions for Christ 2024 Digital Discipleship Impact 275,847 new people enrolled in email discipleship 19,599,014 people in discipleship social media communities 251 Hope with God radio programs 49,397 New YouVersion Bible plan subscriptions 19,104,416 hours of the Bible streamed on the Spanish Audio Drama Bible app 1583205 26271 185808 GLOBAL NETWORK OF EVANGELISTS Creating communities of evangelists committed to completing the Great Commission together. As a young evangelist, Luis Palau was invited to glean from the experience and wisdom of Billy Graham. As his ministry progressed, Luis committed to do the same for others, knowing that in God's Kingdom, we are better together. Through that vision, the Global Network of Evangelists (GNE) was born. The vision of GNE is to create communities of evangelists around the globe who are committed to completing the Great Commission together. Palau does this by identifying, affirming, equipping, connecting, and mobilizing evangelists. And over the last 26 years, to date, we've grown this network to include 4,108 members! CREATING A GLOBAL COMMUNITY Your partnership makes it possible for us to create communities of evangelists who support and sharpen one another. Members grow in wisdom through coaching, ongoing small groups with rich curriculum (called Advance), and are knit together in their local context through unified country networks. We are currently working to cultivate country networks in 118 countries around the world and our membership includes people from 92 different nations. Ultimately, our vision is to foster a thriving network of evangelists in every nation of the world. COLLABORATING ON-THE-GROUND This network opens doors for emerging evangelists, affording many their first opportunity to proclaim the Gospel globally. The four collaborative Love Zambia festivals are one beautiful example! EQUIPPING AND MOBILIZING There are many ways our team has worked to equip and mobilize evangelists all over the world for them to feel confident and ready to share the Gospel. This year, in partnership with Lausanne Movement, we produced the Global Classroom on Proclamation Evangelism, which includes 14 videos featuring evangelists from all over the world, of all ages, and all walks of life. At Lausanne 4, Desmond Henry (GNE's Director) gathered thought leaders in evangelism to produce the Elevating Evangelism Series which will become more broadly available in 2025. Additionally, our quiz, "How has God made you to share the Good News," which helps believers discover and understand their evangelism style, had more than 1,970 completions in 2024 worldwide. EXTENDING THE IMPACT OF THE GOSPEL Partners came together in the U.S., Asia, Africa, Europe, South America, and Central America. Young evangelists were spurred on by seasoned ministers of the Gospel. Because of GNE, this year alone, hundreds of thousands heard the invitation to know Jesus personally. Quote: "It's such an honor and privilege to be able to JOIN GOD in what HE is doing in us and all around us. The fact that though HE doesn't need us however HE uses us... it is mind blowing." -Audria Adorno Quote: "In the hands of the Lord, no matter what your gift is, if you give Him your 'yes,' He will take you further than you ever thought possible." -Logan Heiman, BMX Rider from US Zambia Copperbelt Province Along with our efforts in Lusaka, Zambia in September, our GNE team led a summer-long campaign to saturate the entire nation that included a frontier mission outreach and four partnership festivals in the cities of Kalulushi, Mufulira, Chingola, and Ndola. With a team of more than 60 partner evangelists from 11 countries, they set out to take the Good News of Jesus around the country to those searching for hope, peace, and salvation. In partnership with local pastors, nonprofits, and mission organizations, we were able to identify a part of the Western Province of Zambia where many people lacked access to the Gospel. The remoteness of this region was precisely why our GNE team chose this as the first frontier outreach in its history! During the frontier mission, we crossed challenging terrain to visit over 21 villages, distribute more than 1,500 Gospels of John, and see more than 2,000 responses to the Gospel. At each partner city festival, we witnessed lives being transformed one by one. There was a strong spirit of unity as we worshiped together. Through the frontier mission and 4 partner city festivals, 356,534 people were reached with the Good News, and 66,070 people responded to the message. 1178161 61049 1386 U.S. FESTIVALS Sunday SVC at SXSW (Austin, Texas) For the past two years, we have pioneered a Gospel-sharing space at a largely secular conference, SXSW. 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 1155995 ACTIVATING BELIEVERS WORLDWIDE We are always developing new and innovative ways to mobilize and equip the body of Christ in evangelism. 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 996036 135302 29400 CITY GOSPEL MOVEMENTS Empowering local leaders to reach their cities together through unified Gospel movements. 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.

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 Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Description of other program services (Expenses $ 1,155,995 including grants of $) ACTIVATING BELIEVERS WORLDWIDE We are always developing new and innovative ways to mobilize and equip the body of Christ in evangelism. 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 Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Description of other program services (Expenses $ 996,036 including grants of $ 135,302)(Revenue $ 29,400) CITY GOSPEL MOVEMENTS Empowering local leaders to reach their cities together through unified Gospel movements. 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.
