*PORTLAND, OR: 140,000 ATTEND FESTIVAL

NEW MODEL GOES NATIONAL

>From: Mike Umlandt <m_umlandt@palau.org>

Rain wasn’t going to keep residents of the Pacific Northwest away from Tom McCall Waterfront Park for Portland Festival 2000 this past weekend. By midafternoon each day, when sunshine finally broke through the gray sky, thousands of people already were enjoying the festival’s food, children’s activities, and a professional skateboard exhibition. And by the time Luis Palau brought the “Good News” portion of the “Great Music, Good News” festival, the crowds had swelled to 55,000 Friday night and 85,000 Saturday night, according to police estimates. Portland Festival 2000 not only exceeded last year’s festival, which 93,000 people attended, but also broke attendance records for a Waterfront Park event.

The festival was a second chance for Portland, Palau’s adopted hometown. “I don’t think the whole city got the chance to hear the good news that we were getting out there [last year],” the evangelist told The Oregonian newspaper. With civic leaders, an Oregonian editorial, and hundreds of churches calling for another festival this year, the Luis Palau Evangelistic Association broke with tradition and accepted the invitation to repeat the mass evangelism event this summer. Except for London in 1983-1984, LPEA had never organized a crusade in the same city in back-to-back years.

New Model of Evangelism

Then again, LPEA’s festival model of evangelism breaks with a traditional crusade in a number of ways. “Rather than an arena or stadium, we used a park in the heart of the city as our venue,” said Kevin Palau, LPEA’s executive vice president. “Waterfront Park is where Portland parties most summer weekends.”

“The big difference was you are where the people are,” Luis Palau said. “You’re not renting a stadium and surrounding yourself with four walls and a room and shutting out the noise of the city. Downtown in the park you’re really in the city, putting out the Gospel in the marketplace.” A traditional crusade service uses music to build up to a message. Portland Festival 2000, however, was a free music festival with concerts by some of the most popular Christian artists: Steven Curtis Chapman, Kirk Franklin, Sixpence None the Richer, Jaci Velasquez, and others. Palau presented the Gospel prior to the closing concert each evening. People sat on blankets with their family and friends, enjoying conversation, good music, and food available from two dozen local vendors and restaurants. Young families enjoyed the children’s area, which featured face painting, crafts, a petting zoo, miniature golf, Bob and Larry of VeggieTales, and other activities. Children’s evangelist and professional illusionist Eric Reamer used object lessons to present the Gospel. At the other end of the park, professional skateboarders Jamie Thomas, Lance Mountain, Matt Beach, and Kanten Russell entertained several thousand youth at a specially built skateboard park.

Corporate sponsorships also helped put a “civic” face on the festival. Les Schwab Tires, Thriftway Food Stores, Interstate Batteries, LA-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries, PAX TV, and Standard TV & Appliance were among official sponsors, not only providing financial help, but also giving the festival the look and feel of a “normal” community event. “The festival became more than just a party for Christians,” Kevin Palau said. “It was one of the biggest community events of the summer, and the focus was on the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Eighteen television cameras, including one in a helicopter, covered the event for the Palau Association, which plans to create a festival special for network television. The festival also included five nights of Palau’s live call-in TV program, “Night Talk.”

Other Cities Now Planning Festivals

About 150 pastors and other Christian leaders from 14 cities visited Portland to observe the festival and advance plans for a similar event in their communities. Tucson Festival 2000 is next month, and then Rosario, Argentina, in November. Already on the schedule for 2001 are Hartford, Connecticut; Springfield, Massachusetts; Syracuse, New York; Boise, Idaho; and Saddleback Valley Community Church in Lake Forest, California. Reno, Nevada, sent a delegation, which hopes to bring a festival to Rancho San Rafael Park in their city in 2002.

“The word I would have for Portland Festival is impactful,” said Mike Stickler, associate pastor of Sierra Morning Star Ministries. “I couldn’t believe how impacting it was to the community. It was obvious that it wasn’t just Christians who were there; it wasn’t a holy huddle. There were people who had come just to see and enjoy the festival, people who weren’t even sure why they were there. That was the best part.” “What I see here that is so encouraging is the blend of an evangelistic effort with community identity,” said Jay Hull, senior pastor of Covenant Presbyterian Church in Reno. “And the thing that blew me away was the media coverage. You got the feeling that, ‘Wait a minute, this is a Christian event-it couldn’t be more Christian,’ and the secular media is reporting it like it was any other event, positively, a good thing for the city. None of the negative stuff that we assume is going to happen.” Hull said Portland Festival was an example of an evangelistic event that “invites the community in and makes a wide bridge for people to come in. I would love to see that in Reno.” Kent Kressenberg, a registered nurse, was visiting from Chattanooga, Tennessee. He said a group of pastors and youth leaders there would like to see a citywide evangelistic event next fall at Ross’s Landing, a downtown park alongside the Tennessee River. “We use the term ‘wave of the future’ too much these days, but I think this really is the wave of the future in evangelism, and it’s something I can wholeheartedly be behind and help make happen.

“The Lord is up to something really special here,” Kressenberg said.

“People are just not going to come to a traditional crusade anymore. Particularly young people. If you invite somebody under 30 to come hear this preacher, they are not going to be real interested. But they recognize names like Kirk Franklin or Steven Curtis Chapman or Jaci Velasquez. “I’m sort of an old guy now, almost 50, and a lot of this is not my kind of music. But man, what a draw! And I really believe in my heart the Lord’s going to use this to bring big crowds in Chattanooga and get people under the sound of the Gospel that we might not get any other way.”

*HELP TOM WRITE A NEW BOOK FOR NON-BELIEVERS

>From: March for Jesus USA <MFJUSA@compuserve.com>

Friends,

I’m working on a book about authentic faith. The possible title is “Jesus, Save Me From Your People” with the subtitle, “The misrepresentation of Christ.”

The book is for a secular audience and is targeted toward disillusioned believers and non-believers. By acknowledging their concerns I hope to help people who are reacting to religion to reconsider continuing their search for authentic faith. It will also challenge the church toward a more Christlikeness.

I need interesting and perhaps tragic stories about the futility of religion. I need illustrations of when Christianity betrays the nature and character of Christ. I also need examples of people who persevere beyond all the religious stuff and find a real relationship with Jesus.

Could you take a moment to tell me your stories? Do you know a story that could be helpful?

Thanks for your help, Tom Pelton

PS You can e-mail me directly: tompelton@compuserve.com

*LANSING: JUST HAPPENED TO FIND NPPN...

>From: “TERRI PULICE” <beaconbear@hotmail.com>

I was captivated by what God is doing. I just happened to find National Pastors Prayer Network. I have called to help intercede for pastors. Our church is developing some form of care intercessory for pastors along-side with the newly form Strategic Global Prayer. I would like to subscribe...

I really sense the desire to see a network (esp. via computer) here in Lansing for pastors and us intercessors to better access the pastors’ needs.

As an intercessor, The Lord presence is so strong about this issue. I will be talking to my pastor about this, and I also would like more information/suggestions on starting a group, what to do....

The small steps of faith I have been taking for the Lord has indeed been monumental leaps for God as I look back since the seed was planted in my heart at the beginning of the year. I pray that the Lord anoints you and every pastor in a special way beyond comprehension.

Beacon for Christ Jesus! Terri

*DULUTH, MN & SUPERIOR, WI: MEET ME ON THE BRIDGE

>From: “Kevin L Norton” <pastorkevin@juno.com>

I just want to add my praise for what God is doing for the Twin Ports area of Minnesota / Wisconsin.

I am privileged to work with the newly formed ‘Community of Believers - “Network”’ whose purpose is to unite the community of believers in concerted and focused prayer seeking revival among the saints and a harvest among the lost.

In addition to hosting a weekly morning prayer time at our a local Christian radio station I have been so blest to see God drawing together people of same or similar vision. It is such a privileged and honored to be a part of its unfolding. In the last few months we have seen the activities and cooperations of many different Christian faith traditions. Believers putting aside their theological differences and uniting together under the banner of that which we all agree is our Lord Jesus Christ and that Salvation can come only through Him.

We have seen the raising up of ministries by local leaders and concerned believers such as;

· Youth for Christ - Area Director Mark Pavola is doing a marvelous job of gathering together youth leaders and pastors in a cooperative effort to reach our youth for Christ,

· Faith Connections - Rev. Mark Osthus champions this movement to unite the faith community’s role in building assets in our youth, reconnecting them to the church.

· Conversations Among Christians - is the gathering of all in the Christian faith to share the passion that God has laid on their heart and connecting with those who have the same passion.

· Twin Ports Prayer Force - envisioned by laywoman, Corrine Scott whose desire would be for believers to meet monthly for the purpose unifying and motivating Christian people from all walks of life in the Twin Ports to pray for deliverance and salvation of our neighbors, peace and welfare in the Twin Ports, and that we would be become a Mecca for Christ-centered spiritual activities.

A visible action that shares our compassion and concern for our area is called ‘Meet Me on the Bridge’. On September 30^th we are calling on believers to extend across the two mile Bong Bridge that connects our two cities of Superior, WI and Duluth, MN. As the sun rises over out Twin Ports at 7:06 we desire that a string of approximately 4225 believers be hand in hand from shore to shore praying together that God take back our cities, revival breaks out among the saints and a bountiful harvest is reaped for the kingdom of God.

These are exciting times as we pray with expectancy for God’s blessing of revival. To God be the glory.

‘Community of Believers - Network” ‘

*DENVER: DOES YOUR HEART BREAK FOR YOUR CITY?

>From: kenneth gadbois <BeverlyGadbois@compuserve.com>

“There must be the men and women who are not casual seekers of God, but those who mean business, like the men in the barn, who will not let go until they receive the confirmation that He has heard according to His own covenant.”

Kathie Walters

As I was rereading notes on the Hebrides Revival, my heart began to break again for our city ... if God did it before, He will most certainly do it again. A few of us have begun to meet on Monday nights to pray for this kind of revival to come to Denver. Won’t you do the same? Prayer is the key ... humility to pray is the key. God is the key. Please care about your city and God will come in His faithfulness. Let your heart break as you see the sin of your city and our nation. We must have a move of God with His presence and power. Nothing short of His presence will matter or do what must needs be done.

Love & Pursing His Presence, Bev Gadbois

*GREATER NORVIEW - NORFOLK, VA:

PASTOR’S PRAYER GROUP (PPG) IMPACT

>From: “Bateman” <larrybateman@assure.net

Brother Gerald Johnson Johnson, chapnvrs@chapterandverse.org , shared the PASTOR’S PRAYER GROUP (PPG) vision with ministers in venues throughout the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. A number of PPGs are now underway of which ours is just one. I commend him to you.

Our PASTOR’S PRAYER GROUP (PPG) in the Greater Norview area began praying for each other, our churches, and community two years ago. The number of ministers and the quality of the fellowship has grown, sometimes expanding to two separate days weekly, although the multiple days was made it difficult at times to sustain the group dynamic. We have experienced growth personally, in the Body of Christ, worship, community-wise social action and evangelism.

A joint “Resurrection Celebration” at Easter time traditionally held among the Baptist, Presbyterian, and Methodist was expanded to include others in 2000. Diverse church groups represented by the PPG were included in a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic celebration in the Norview High School stadium. Approximately 400 were present for that sunrise celebration. Ministers lined the front when the invitation was given to receive those who would respond to Christ.

After the celebration “sunrise service,” congregants were encouraged to bring guests to three of the larger churches for a breakfast before dispersing to their own houses of worship for Sunday School and their regular services. Several churches were assigned to each of the three breakfast locations to facilitate fellowship and follow through. Guests were escorted after breakfast to the several church-house locations for follow up according to denominational distinctive.

The Resurrection celebration was so widely appreciated that there was a desire for other celebrations during the year. One was on the 5^th Sunday of July, July 30, 2000, from 7:00-8:30 PM. Churches were willing to be flexible to relocate for the combined worship celebration at Norview Baptist for that evening. That relocation was a spiritually stretching exercise for those accustomed to having Sunday evening services for their congregations! The utilization of lay persons as participants throughout the service was very beneficial. The focus was on adoring God—His attributes—worship for who He is. Six of the attributes of God were interspersed throughout the service with lay persons giving their personal testimony regarding one of the attributes of God. The ministers had only been provided with a list of attributes and attribute definitions to be assigned. One attribute for each congregational representative was proclaimed in their 3-4 minute testimony.

A love offering of over $800 was received from the 184 participants and equally divided between 2 non-denominational ministers, who fellowship with our PPG, who are serving in Norfolk, Virginia.

The combined choir and special instrumental and vocal music accented the worship between the testimonies on the attributes of God. I was initially asked to preach the message. I accepted and it so happened that it was my last Sunday as Pastor of Norview Baptist. I proclaimed Christ from Revelation 1. The worship points were The Incomparable Christ and The Incomprehensible Christ. He was proclaimed in glory focusing on the attributes of Christ taught in this passage.

I believe the angels joined God in a broad smile and perhaps there were sounds of joyous laughter around the throne. I believe God laughed! I rejoiced—it was an awesome experience to be a part of a combined worship that undoubtedly brought joy to Father God as He looked down on His children in a world and Church pained by the consequences of Sin. We get it right when we surrender to Christ and His transforming cross-work. The warmth of the Holy Spirit’s presence and the combined fellowship of multiple congregations is a “non-ecumenical” tribute to the unity in the Body of Christ. One day we will perfectly—and perpetually worship around the throne and perhaps reflect on the lessons first humbly learned with our brethren in celebration of the ever-living, exalted Christ.

May Christ rise and shine upon you!

Looking unto Jesus, Rev. Larry Bateman

*CHICAGO: MORE PRAISE REPORTS; MORE PRAYER REQUESTS

>From: “Adam Shields” <prayer@chicago2000.net>

This is the Fifth “What God is Doing” Email. You can read past emails at www.chicago2000.net/godatwork.html. We hope that you will use these emails as a reminder to pray for Chicago. If you wish to unsubscribe, instructions are at the bottom of this email. If you would like more information about any reports or prayer requests listed here please email prayer@chicago2000.net.

We have been busy over the past several weeks. Many churches are concentrating on “normal” summer ministries such as Vacation Bible Schools and Block Parties. We have found that these events have been some of our most successful events. So far this year more than 408 children and adults have made commitments of faith at a VBS or Sports Camp. An additional 720 people have made commitments of faith at a Block Party.

World Changers have continued to play a very large part of the past several weeks. The World Changers group in Waukegan, IL (a northern suburb) worked on 37 homes. But they didn’t stop with contraction ministries, 137 people also made commitments of faith through the ministry of the youth at World Changers. If you would like to read three Chicago Tribune articles about these go to www.chicago2000.net/email/worldchangers.htm. Also there is a Baptist Press article about World Changers as a whole that you can read at the same web site.

Evening Star Missionary Baptist Church and several other local churches in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago had the second annual “Back to School Revival.” About 2300 people attended one of the five evenings meetings and 93 made commitments of faith during that week. But the churches have reported that each Sunday since the revival each of the churches have had several additional new commitments and several new members join their churches. This revival has really generated a lot of cooperation in the community among the churches, as well local community leaders. The local alderman even participated in the revival.

Prayer Requests

>Please pray for our local churches as they follow up with the 4744 new commitments that have been made this summer.

>Please pray that the more than 40,000 Jesus Videos and the more than 325,000 Books of Hope that have been distributed are watched/read and results will continue for days, months and years to come. >Please pray that momentum will be sustained—that our churches will continue in prayer-birthed evangelism and creative church planting. >Please pray for the Chicago Metro Baptist Association. Their building has been sold and they are moving in November. Please pray for the staff and churches as they work without a building for at least several months. >Please give thanks to our great God for the great work He has done through our efforts these past few months. Praise Him for demonstrating that our God truly does love the world and is unwilling that any should perish.

*WARFARE PRAYER: NEEDING WISDOM; SEEKING BALANCE

>From: charisma@strang.com

>By: Andy Butcher

International Consultation Examines Controversies About Spiritual Warfare

Meeting aims to ‘understand the enemy and how to fight him’

Controversial beliefs about prayer and spiritual warfare are being put under the microscope by an international group of leading theologians, missions experts and practitioners.

They are meeting to come up with guidelines intended to bring balance to an area that consultation organizers say has brought division to the church at a crucial time, when occult ideas and practices are being widely accepted in mainstream Western culture.

Around 30 key thinkers and prayer leaders have gathered in Nairobi, Kenya, for the “Deliver Us From Evil” discussions organized by part of the Lausanne Committee for World Evangelization, which ends on Tuesday.

Territorial spirits, identificational repentance and strategic-level spiritual warfare are some of the concepts being examined at the invitation-only event. The deliberations include presentations on regional perspectives on spiritual warfare, theological views and selected case studies.

The theology and intercession working groups of the Lausanne movement—founded in 1974 to promote world evangelization—called the consultation because they were concerned that church unity is currently being undermined because of Christians’ differing views on spiritual conflict.

They also believe that “the nature of the authority of Scripture” is called into question by “the willingness to consider ideas and follow practices that are admittedly extra-biblical,” and caution that “questions of the proper contextualization of the gospel in a culture are often avoided because the answer is just to do the appropriate spiritual warfare.”

The consultation aims to “get a biblical and comprehensive understanding of who the enemy is, how he is working, and how we can fight him in order to be most effective in the evangelization of all peoples.”

One of those taking part says that while the recent emphasis on spiritual warfare has been helpful in many ways, some of the specific practices being encouraged are questionable. In a background paper for the consultation, A. Scott Moreau, professor of missions at Wheaton College in Wheaton, Ill., says the new focus on the importance of prayer has been “a healthy corrective for Western missiology, which tends to be too managerial in its orientation.”

Positively, the spiritual warfare approach also stresses church unity, focuses on those who do not know Christ, and challenges the church to repent when necessary. But Moreau cautions that there are areas of concern. Suggesting that it is important to find the name of territorial spirits is “dangerously close to what could be called Christian magic,” he says.

But “perhaps the biggest obstacle to ‘strategic level spiritual warfare’ is that the fundamental strategy is not found biblically or in church history, at least without some serious stretching of the accounts.”

Moreau says that one way the area could be refined would be to be more cautious about using “exaggerated claims and anecdotes” as proof. “We must be careful in analyzing the success stories...not to confuse coincidence with causation. While there may be reports of a crime rate declining over a period coinciding with a particular prayer struggle, this does not prove that it was the struggle itself that resulted in the decline.”

His paper cites one often-quoted example of a Brazil-Uruguay border town where people of one side were responsive to the gospel, and resistant on the other. The difference was attributed to territorial spirits, but when researchers tracked down the source of the story they found it originated with a missionary “who did not even remember the name of the town, and his impressions came from one afternoon of witnessing during a four-month evangelistic trip in 1947.”

--->NPPNote: Though we must all give one another freedom to express our giftings and callings in a style unique to our personality, we must begin to call each other into the accountability of scripture. This is especially important to PPGs, since most groups will incorporate pastors from a variety of backgrounds and denominations. Personally, I hope this conference is successful at moving the dialogue forward (progress) by gong downward (humility) and backward (back to the rule of scripture). Experience is wonderful ... when it validates or expands our understanding of the Bible. [Anyone like to continue this “conversation”-?]

*AMSTERDAM RESPONSE:

PROCLAMATION NETWORK SETS GOAL FOR 2001

>From: <BSchoeman@aol.com>

My observation during Amsterdam 2000 was at the beginning of each service I’d look into the faces of those walking by me and was touched as Rev 7:9 came to mind,” from every nation, tribe, people and language.”

As National Facilitator of the Proclamation Evangelism Network for Mission America I was thrilled with the 35 evangelists who attended the informal gathering during the Amsterdam conference including: Joni Eareckson Tada, Stephen Douglas from Campus Crusade, Lon Allison from the Billy Graham Center, Mark Anderson from Impact World Tours in YWAM, Kevin Palau from Luis Palau Ministries, Dallas Anderson from Operation Starting Line, Tom Phillips from International Students Inc.and a host of other gifted, faithful evangelists. Our Network goal is to proclaim the gospel in America from the largest city to the smallest one of only 1,000 population by 2011. Proclamation Evangelism Network is one of 75 National Ministry Networks who will be meeting together at the Mission America Annual Meeting in St. Louis, MO. October 25-27. For more info regarding the Proclamation Evangelism Network contact Bruce Schoeman %Lowell Lundstrom Ministries at bschoeman@aol.com for more info on the Mission America Annual Meeting in St.
