PraiseFest 2013 takes center stage downtown West Palm to glorify God at the Meyer Amphitheater on October 12.
When God first gave gospel singer, David Hugo, the vision for PraiseFest several years ago it came during personal times of struggle. After attending a prayer meeting with Evangelist Rienhard Bonnke, whose African crusades have led millions to a closer walk with God, Hugo knew as believers in Jesus Christ we face many struggles but with God all things are possible.
”The vision of PraiseFest has come under much attack from the enemy. Even so, the Lord has opened doors that no man can shut. The opportunity to hold an event proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ on city property, along with the tremendous outpouring of support for this project, is a confirmation to the power of God within our midst,” stated Hugo.
PraiseFest 2013, set for Saturday, October 12, 2013, with a free event from 12 noon until 9pm at the beautiful Meyer Ampitheater in downtown West Palm Beach, Florida, will bring together the Body of Christ for one purpose…Praise!
Why do you Praise the Lord? Has God been good to you? Has he kept you through troubled times? Has He held you in His arms through sickness? Is He your everything?
So as all of God’s children are invited to gather in downtown West Palm Beach from across South Florida and around the world, do you have a reason to Praise the Lord? Let us gather together outside of church walls, into the streets of our city on the waterfront to worship and lift our voices to the Lord.
