W e’re going to be on TV and the
radio telling people about Portland
Festival ’9 9 ...w e’re training hun­
dreds ofw orkers.. .w e’re publishing
a ton o f printed m aterials...w e’re
promoting it via the Internet...the
list goes on and on!
Churches are pouring in as much
manpower as they can. W e're al­
ready trained 5,300 people in friend­
ship evangelism! And for all ot that.
I’m grateful.
But the truth is, Portland Festival
’99 is going to be SO HUGE, the
Dawkins & Dawkins
only way it can succeed is if all of
G od’s people stand up and take the
lead.
( P b e e v u e r ---------------------------------------------------
Which is why I’m writing you.
I believe you have a love o f God
and for lost people in the Portland
area... and God has given me a vision
for this event to reach those people.
I believe through this event Chris­
tians are going to witness the salva­
tion o f people they’ve been praying
for for years .. .children and grand­
children, parents, brothers and sis­
ters, friends, colleagues on the job,
neighbors...
It’s going to be so easy for thou­
sands o f believers to say, “Come
down to W aterfront Park with me for
a concert!”
It’s going to be so easy for thou­
sands o f unbelievers to say, “Sure,
why not? Sounds like fun!”
And when they get there, it will be
fun! They’re going to find that there
is no admission price.
No gimmicks, nothing that will
embarrass you or them.
Just GREAT music-and GOOD
NEWS!
But as Portland Festival ’99 un­
folds...
...I want you also to have the
deep-down satisfaction o f knowing
that YOU HELPED MAKE. IT HAP­
PEN.
This concert will be yours.
Because vour prayers were in­
vested in it.
And your generosity made it pos­
sible!
H ere’s an opportunity for all o f
us P o rtla n d -a re a C h ristia n s to
“come out o f hiding” and let our
light sh in e...p ain t a fresh picture
o f C hristianity... a picture o f joy,
excitem ent, and loving concern for
people!
You know, even though I have
had the privilege o f sharing Christ
Luis P a la u
all around the world, my heart is
here in Portland.
This is my hometown.
