Andrew Palau, son of renowned international evangelist Luis Palau will start a 10 day mission to southern England on 16 April.

He and other evangelists, will speak at events in Tonbridge, Haywards Heath, Chesham, Brighton, Burgess Hill and Marlow, as well as at Gatwick’s Tinsley House immigration removal centre.

Palau and his wife Wendy hit the headlines a few months ago when they walked away from a plane crash in Kingston, Jamaica, with barely a scratch.

As part of the mission, a skateboard and bicycle stunt team will travel to many schools, where they will give high-octane stunt displays and share their testimonies. Palau will then present a message about making positive lifestyle choices encompassing issues such as bullying, drug and alcohol abuse.

Noel Tredinnick and musicians from the All Souls Orchestra will perform, after which Palau will share his story of coming to faith, aged 27, following a life of alcohol and drug abuse.

Nigel Gordon of the Luis Palau Association commented: "We are delighted Andrew is coming to bring the good news of Jesus Christ to people across southern England later this month. We are sure his talks, together with the action sports, music and other entertainment, will prove a big hit over the next few weeks."
