Extend the Impact
The goal of the Palau Association's Next Generation Alliance® is to
encourage and equip the new generation of evangelists. NGA plans and coordinates
outreach initiatives throughout the world and invites its network of evangelists
to take part. They are given the opportunity to learn from their peers
and veterans in evangelism, as well as train the local community of believers
in evangelism. At an Extend The Impact Conference, you will learn first-hand
what a festival is and how to put one on, network with other like-minded
evangelists, hear the heart of Luis Palau and make connections for future
partnerships in ministry.
Save The Date…August 19-23, 2008. Extend The Impact Conference
Portland, Oregon. The conference will be held at Cedar Mill Bible Church
and will be a wonderful opportunity to network with NGA evangelists and
attend the Portland Cityfest with Luis Palau.

Impact World Tour - The Gospel for Every
Person, Every Nation, Every Generation
The Impact World Tour, a ministry of Youth With a Mission (YWAM), presents
the Gospel in 21st century ways using elements of the culture itself to
deliver the message of Jesus. Using athletes, musicians, and dancers,
the Impact World Tour has been able to present the Gospel message to over
2 million people in 1600 communities on 5 continents.
This past fall, we were given the opportunity to minister to over 165,000
people in the islands of Fiji. Preaching the Gospel in large and small
cities alike, there were 17,474 decisions for Christ. Amongst those responding
were many Indo-Fijians from other religious backgrounds, the largest unreached
people group in the South Pacific!

Hope and Courage Across America
Life's journey has huge mountains and long roads. We can inspire hope
and courage through life's journey. Hope in a God that cares about us
as individuals and a nation…helping us to conquer the mountain. Courage
to go one more mile in spite of our wounds and challenges.
The Journey sponsored by Bob Mortimer Motivational Ministries will consist
of cyclists crossing America from Puget Sound, Washington to New York
City, New York. The journey will be used to inspire hope and courage.
Passing through small to mid-size communities, the Mortimers will make
ontinual contact with people who have Hope and Courage stories of their
own and who need a dose of Hope and Courage for their journey ahead. Pray
for Bob Mortimer and the Journey team members as they prepare, minister,
and share hope and courage across their journey.

Pakistan Strategic Planning
Keith and Joan Cook of On The Go Ministries/Keith Cook Team ministered
in Pakistan December 3-10, 2007. The Pakistan Project was a Strategic
Planning Mission for future work within the country and God truly blessed
as Keith and Joan were able to host three Leadership Training Seminars
and Evangelism Outreach Training Schools. They traveled throughout the
country working with pastors, evangelists, and church leaders encouraging
them and training them to further reach their nation for Christ behind
closed doors.
Keith also had the opportunity to visit sites in preparation for a On
The Go Festival in Pakistan this coming October. On The Go Ministries
and the Keith Cook Team are looking for USA evangelists, pastors, and
ministries to come be a part of this historic festival in October 2008.
There are specific areas where you can minister with your own teams doing
evangelism as well partner with the main festival.
While in Pakistan a film crew filmed Keith sharing the gospel. After the
team had left the country we were able to air the programs during a very
strategic time. This television program ran during the Butto slaying timeframe
and God strategically used that to win many to Christ. The telephone counselors
were very busy.

The Jumbotron Story
Planning a Festival brings its challenges and one of those is the Friday
night High School Football game. We were disappointed that the High School
did not move its football game away from Friday evening, but God's ways
are higher than our ways. We ordered a Jumbotron in the event of an overflow
crowd, and we placed it in the old High School Football field. We discovered
later that night that a young man went to the football game that night
so that he had an excuse not to go partying with his friends.
On the way home he walked by the old football field, and saw the Jumbotron
and heard the music of the group "Diamond Rio", and walked in
and sat down on the grass. He stayed and heard Steve Wingfield interview
the group and preach a message of hope for today and encouragement for
tomorrow. At the invitation, he walked to the base of the Jumbotron and
there he met a counselor, and gave his life to the Lord. Because of the
football game we did not want, and the jumbotron we really did not need,
God orchestrated things so that this young man could respond to the Gospel
of Jesus Christ and experience a changed life.

Training Evangelists in Krygyzstan
Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan was the gathering place for the Institute of Emerging
Itinerant Evangelists from Central Asia this past November. It was a wonderful
time of community, teaching, discipleship, fellowship, and ministry.
Continue to pray for many of these evangelists in Central Asia. Pray for
continued boldness and divine appointments as daily many of them live
under direct persecution for their faith and stand for our Lord. God is
moving in great and mighty ways within the lives of our evangelists and
those to whom they are ministering to!
