TechnoratiHe went on to encourage people from broken homes not to contemplate suicide or take revenge on their parents, but rather to ask Jesus to step into their situation and learn how to see God as their true Father who will never leave them.
“If your home is breaking up you need Jesus Christ like no one else,” he said. "If you come from a broken home and you are angry, you have a right to be angry but you’ve got to get rid of it.
“You’ve got to come to Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ will help you to forgive your father and get it over with so that you don’t become poison forever.”
Palau finished by urging people not to live in guilt over past sins or failures by accepting the forgiveness that only Jesus Christ can bring.
“Jesus Christ can do what no religion can do, no church can do, no minister can do. Jesus Christ is the one who forgives sins. And why is he the only one? Because he the only one who died on the cross for the sins of the world,” he said.
Scores of people raised their hands at the end of each day to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and receive information about how they could start their new life as a Christian.
In addition to the evangelistic sermons, the festival featured extreme sports demonstrations, live music, and play areas for children which attracted many families and teenagers.
The Highland Festival was the culmination of two years of planning together with more than 100 churches from across the region. It drew to a close on Saturday with one of the last ever live performances from Christian band Delirious?.
Luis Palau was invited to host the festival by local church leaders looking to “jumpstart” spiritual life in the region.
The next Palau festival will take place in Kigali in Rwanda to coincide with the 15th anniversary of the Rwandan Genocide.
