Evangelist Andrew Palau Joins 50 Churches for CityFest on August 28

Thousands are expected to gather for the Luis Palau Association’s upcoming festival in Hermiston, Oregon on Saturday, August 28. The free, family-fun festival is focused on serving Umatilla and Morrow Counties and sharing a clear message of hope with the entire region.

For months, individuals and organizations in Umatilla and Morrow Counties have come together in this unique partnership between churches, businesses, organizations, city leaders, and the Luis Palau Association, focusing on serving those in need of physical, emotional, and spiritual support. In the months leading up to the Festival, the churches have come together to serve the community through service projects and outreaches with the ‘I Love My City’ team that has been serving the community for years. In addition to the service effort, multiple outreach events, strategically designed to share the love of Jesus with key groups of people in the community, will be held for business and civic leaders, women, youth, prisoners, and more. All this effort will culminate in a one-day festival at Butte Park on August 28.

Greater Hermiston CityFest with Andrew Palau is being produced by the Portland-based Luis Palau Association in partnership with more than 50 area churches and contributions from local businesses, foundations, and individuals. The culminating festival will feature contemporary Christian music artists including Danny Gokey, We Are Messengers, George Moss, and Marisol Park. Global evangelist Andrew Palau will share his story of hope during the one-day event as well.

“It’s been two years of praying, meeting, and coming before the Lord. What started out as a small number of people has grown exponentially over these past two years,” said Andrew Palau, “and we’re all feeling the sense that the time is right for us to be gathering together in this kind of way. All of us at the Luis Palau Association are so grateful to have been invited to come alongside the people and churches in Hermiston to commit to sharing the Good News and bringing hope to many.”

Andrew’s story is detailed in his book, “The Secret Life of a Fool: One Man’s Journey from Shame to Grace.” For more information on the event at Butte Park, visit www.CityFest.org.
