Festival Teesside marked the beginning of the summer for the Luis Palau Association in the UK, but that was just a catalyst for things to come.
Through the combined efforts of local churches working hand in hand with their team, they saw people from different communities across Teesside come together to share in family fun and live music and the good news about Jesus was shared.
In the days that followed, the 1,685 people who responded to the Gospel, were personally invited to follow-up events throughout the summer holidays. Additionally, local churches hosted barbecues and picnics and invited their neighbours along, ensuring the presence of the church continued to be felt.
The Palau Association ran a targeted digital evangelism campaign sharing the Gospel through social media channels. This reached over 43,000 people and anyone who was interested in finding out more was given information about the upcoming Alpha courses.
Churches in Teesside, from almost every denomination, are currently preparing for the launch of 46 Alpha courses in the week beginning September 16th.
