NEW YORK, Jan. 14, 2015 /Christian Newswire/ -- Renowned Christian authors and speakers Luis Palau and Francis Chan will partner with Kristian Stanfill and the band Passion for a powerful series of free events in New York City this February 10-13. The events, known as RE:NEW, were created to help strengthen believers in their spiritual walk, build up their faith, grow their commitment to the local church, and reinforce the vital work being accomplished by churches in the New York City metro area this year.

The free conference series will take place over four nights at several locations around the New York City metro area. It will begin in Wayne, New Jersey (February 10), then travel to the Bronx (February 11), Manhattan (February 12), and conclude in Brooklyn (February 13). Each night will begin at 7:00 P.M. and is a free ticketed event for all.

Each night of the conference will include teaching from Palau and Chan, both of whom have spoken with millions of people around the globe about the importance of the Gospel and written several best-selling books, including Palau's "Out of the Desert" and Chan's "Crazy Love." Kristian Stanfill and the band Passion will lead each night in worship. Their music includes popular songs like "In Christ Alone" and "One Thing Remains."
