Jamaica Festival to Feature World Evangelist Andrew Palau
Monday,
March 8, 2010 Answering the invitation to bring the Gospel message, world evangelist Andrew Palau will do just that at the Fun in the Son Gospel Festival on March 20, 2010, in the capital city of Kingston. “Jamaica has long had a special place in
my heart,” said Palau, who first received Christ when he was 27
years old at his father Luis Palau’s 1993 Kingston crusade. It’s
also where he met his now wife Wendy, a native of the island.
And, most recently, it’s where their family of five survived the American Airlines Flight #331 crash landing just days before Christmas. “I can’t wait to go back and tell the urgent message of hope and life in Christ,” he said. In addition to Andrew’s Gospel message, the festival will feature top Jamaican musicians Papa San, DJ Nicholas and Carlene Davis, along with the United States’ Grammy-winning, multi-platinum gospel artist Kirk Franklin. A sports zone, kids’ area, and more will be available for everyone at Jamaica College Grounds from 10 a.m. - 10 p.m. A neighboring “Son Village” will host a food court and a variety of social services. This is the eighth annual Fun in the Son Christian music festival, and Andrew’s fourth consecutive year ministering in Jamaica. Originally created to provide a wholesome Spring Break alternative for tourists, as well as an outreach to Jamaicans, this year the event is anticipated to draw 30,000 people. The festival is a cooperative effort between three groups: Glory Music, a Jamaican ministry devoted to raising up young Christian musicians in the Jamaican culture; Jamaica Broilers, a prominent Jamaican company with strong Christian leadership; and the Luis Palau Association, headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon. At the 2008 “Best Dressed 50 Fest” outreach, Andrew, Luis, and partner evangelists shared the Good News face-to-face with more than 300,000 people in three cities. Future 2010 Andrew Palau festivals include Yakima, Washington and Kampala, Uganda. You may republish this story with proper attribution.
Ours is a "Prayer Encouragement Ministry" of Prayer Teaching and Resources, so the more pages we have on our web site, the better we can serve your needs, and fulfill our ministry. Our Web Site went online with about 12 pages on Nov. 8, 2000. __________________________________
Why are we a Prayer Ministry? It is our calling from God. We feel that God called us to this ministry through His Word; and also by the lives of George Müller and other great Christian men and women of prayer, and inspired us to seek a life of prayer through the writings on prayer of E. M Bounds. Why do we live and serve Christ like we do? Many times we have told those asking to simply watch our all-time favorite Film: Franco Zefirelli's Brother Sun, Sister Moon. It is the story of the early ministry of St. Francis. We have told many people that if they watch this film, they will understand our ministry, and that no other explanation will be necessary. We ourselves watch this film at least four times a year. Why Celtic Monasticism? Read our pages on this site: Our Goals. Then read the second half of How the Irish Saved Civilization by Thomas Cahill (beginning with the Chapter on St. Patrick, and continuing on through the rest of the book about the missionary-minded early Irish Celtic Monks who brought Christianity to Pagan Europe). Also read Geoffrey Moorhouse's Sun Dancing, the story of the pre-medieval Irish Celtic Monks who, for over 600 years, lived on that barren rock off the western Irish coast known as Skellig Michael. _____________________________________ If you find a "Link" on our website not working, please let us know the Page Name and "Linked Words" so we can fix it! _________________________________ Copyright © 2010 S.G.P.

Son of a Founding Leader of Hamas Receives Christ Monday,
March 8, 2010 (USA) (ANS) -- Fear, violence, secrecy and danger were part of everyday life for Mosab Hassan Yousef, son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, a founding leader of the internationally recognized Palestinian terrorist organization known as Hamas.
For the first time, Yousef tells the shocking true story of his days as a member of a deadly terrorist group in the book Son of Hamas (March 2, 2010/SaltRiver), written with Ron Brackin, a veteran Special Correspondent for the ASSIST News Service. A news release from Beverly Rykerd Public Relations states, “Now living in the United States, Yousef has rejected his violent past and is now risking everything to expose closely-guarded, never-before-told secrets in an effort to show the world a way to peace. “Since he was a young boy growing up in the West Bank town of Ramallah, Yousef has had access to the inner workings of Hamas, its political takeover of the Palestinian Authority, its violent efforts to destroy Israel and its drive to establish a Palestinian state. “As the eldest son, Yousef assisted his father for years in his political activities while being groomed to assume his father’s legacy, politics, status…and power. But everything changed when Yousef turned away from terror and violence, and embraced instead the teachings of another famous Middle East leader.” Yousef writes, “…Few Westerners can come close to understanding the complexities of the Middle East and its people. But I do -- by virtue of a most unique perspective …I am a son of that region and of that conflict. I am a child of Islam and a son of an accused terrorist. I am also a follower of Jesus.”
In Son of Hamas, Yousef reveals new information about this dangerous terrorist organization and unveils the truth behind his own secret role. He describes his journey to a new faith that instructed him to love his enemies. And he tells the story of the agonizing decisions that led him to walk away from his family, friends and homeland. About The Author: Mosab Hassan Yousef
was born in Ramallah, in the West Bank in 1978. His father, Sheikh
Hassan Yousef, is a founding leader of Hamas, a terrorist organization
responsible for countless suicide bombings and other deadly attacks
against Israel. Yousef was an integral part of the movement, for which
he was imprisoned several times by the Shin Bet, the Israeli
intelligence service. He withstood torture in prison only to discover
Hamas was torturing its own people in a relentless search for
collaborators.
