God designed the Church to reach our world together.
Over decades, we’ve seen the stunning beauty of the Gospel compel thousands of churches to set differences aside, uniting to saturate their regions with the Good News of Jesus. CityFest partners with local leaders to activate everyday believers to be the hands and feet of Christ—through prayer, service, and evangelism.
God’s already working in your city—and we’d love to come alongside you. You love your city. You know its challenges. You have a vision. We’re here to help. Explore how a CityFest Movement may be the catalyst you need for change that lasts.
proclaim the good news. unite the church. Impact your city.

My partnership with the Palau City Gospel Movements team has provided an incredible platform for connections to ministry across the United States. I am constantly learning from the experience and wisdom gained and have the opportunity to see from a wider perspective the amazing work and unity God has inspired.

Scripture says that we’re that light, that city on a hill, we’re the salt of the earth, we’re supposed to bring something to the table that no one else can bring really, which is light.

What I love about the Palau Team being a part of this process… it's not to try to take over and control where this particular city goes but it's to bring value and resources and experience and stories and examples and models from other cities to say, "Look this is possible this has been done and this isn't just about trying to help the city. It's actually about becoming the church."

I responded to a message of love at a Palau festival. It’s crazy to say, but if I was the only one who came to salvation at that event, isn’t it worth it? My husband would say it’s worth it, my children would say it’s worth it…

The most defining moment of my life happened at the age of 10, standing in a London soccer stadium. For that was the night I heard Luis Palau preach the Gospel and decided that I was going to be a worshipper of Jesus Christ.

This was the best day of my life. I felt safe today. I don’t feel safe anywhere, but this was an oasis for me in my unsafe life.

In our country right now, over 80% of people are living in cities. We need to take cities seriously, which is why I love your vision and ministry. We have to think strategically about how we are going to take cities. It has to be collaborative, we cannot do it individually.

Leading city movements is one of the most thankless tasks in the world. It’s one of the hardest things to lead, yet one of the most important leadership positions in the world. The prize is big enough. To see our cities transformed. This is a move of the Holy Spirit and our job is to work alongside Him and not get in the way.
—Roger Sutton, U.K.

This is Good News.
For over 60 years, we’ve proclaimed the Gospel around the world. And we’re not stopping now—the mission lives on through the next generation of evangelists, Andrew and Wendy Palau. Only Jesus offers the true hope our world needs—and we can share Him together, through region-wide festival events and sustainable local movements.
We’re stronger together.
God loves unity. We’ve seen Him bring the Body of Christ together through evangelistic movements in over 80 countries—in cities large and small. Our team is here to listen, come alongside you, and lend our experience to foster unity in your city. God moves when we come together with Christ at the center of all we do.
Sustainable city impact
We’re all about change that lasts. In the course of concerted festival efforts, ongoing teams come together around evangelism, prayer, service, and leadership. We’re not about cookie-cutter solutions—we know every city is different. Let’s explore how to raise the temperature of evangelism in your region for the long-term.
