Evangelistic Circus in a Box

Festival con Dios links with Palau organization to expand work of proclamation

A similarity between the completely free LPEA community festivals and Festival con Dios is the use of extreme sports, skateboard parks, and Christian bands to attract teenagers and young adults.

Olmsted said content is more important than how the gospel is presented.

"No one organization has the right answer on the proper method. But they all agree on message," he said. "The delivery of the message may change a little bit depending on the target audience."
