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!
