Luis Palau Festival Draws 60,000 to Central Park
NEW YORK CITY — Evangelist Luis Palau is covering America’s largest city with the gospel. This weekend, his ministry is taking over New York’s Central Park with a festival that’s taken three years to plan. It takes days of work and hundreds of people to turn the famous park into center stage for City Fest, Palau’s latest Christian crusade — an outdoor service for 60,000 people. CBN News Efrem Graham toured the area with the evangelist as he sized up final preparations.
“It’s the largest one I have ever seen that we have used – except maybe Buenos Aires and Argentina, which was sort of large,” he said. “This one is so massive. And the city skyline, that is what really gets you.”
The vibrant 80 year old has personally preached to more than 30 million people in 75 countries.
It’s taken a long time and a lot of work to bring the good news to the Big Apple. Palau’s team partnered with city government and more than 1,700 churches three years ago to create NY City Serve. They then rolled up their sleeves to lift up the city’s poorest residents.
