Author/Evangelist Welcoming Evangelicals to Portland, Oregon, October 24-27

Contact: Craig Chastain, Luis Palau Association, 503-614-1554

PORTLAND, Oregon, July 26 /Christian Newswire/ -- World evangelist and author Luis Palau has shared the Gospel face-to-face with over 21 million people in 70 countries, and with millions more with his world-wide radio ministry. On October 24th – 27th, Palau and his team will share their techniques, ideas and vision at the Innovative Evangelism Conference in his home town of Portland, Oregon.

The conference is being presented by the Next Generation Alliance®, a ministry created by Palau to assist, encourage and equip a new generation of evangelists. Dozens of workshops will focus on the unique and critical needs of outreach ministries, from finances to management, event planning to marketing. Presenters include seasoned evangelists (Luis Palau, Mike Silva, Jose Zayas), authors and speakers (Pat Palau, Mark Mittelberg, Donald Miller) youth-centered ministries (Stephen Baldwin, Jay Haizlip, Greg Stier) and creators of cutting-edge outreach tools (Kevin Palau, Billy Zabka, Brock Gill).

There will be numerous opportunities for fellowship, mentoring and worship throughout the week, including numerous sessions with Palau and other evangelists who are using innovative, contemporary methods to reach the lost around the world.

“In over four decades of evangelism, we’ve never seen so many opportunities for outreach and such a hunger for Christ’s message of forgiveness and salvation,” says Palau. “This conference is offered to those who have chosen evangelism as their life’s work – who know that there is no greater purpose than to share the Good News.”

Registration is open to evangelists, ministry directors, worship leaders, action sports ministries, fundraisers, church and lay leaders. Pre-registration for the four-day event, including meals and all materials, has been set at $199.00 (if received prior to August 31st) thanks to underwriting by major partners Compassion International, Outreach, and the Proclamation Evangelism Network. Attendees can register online at www.ngateam.com or by phone at 1-888-877-5847.

Since 1998, more than 11 million people have been reached with the Gospel and more than 500,000 people have made public commitments to Jesus Christ through the work of the Next Generation Alliance and its member evangelists.

We’re committed to raising up a new generation of godly leaders,” says NGA Director Dr. Tim Robnett. “The Innovative Evangelism Conference is a tremendous opportunity for training, networking, inspiring and renewing our commitment to the Great Commission.”
