After organising several successful Christian festivals around the world, Andrew Palau is in town to make the Kigali Hope Festival another event to write about.

Palau is the organiser and keynote speaker during the concluding 100 days of genocide memorial festival in Rwanda .

According to the organisers, the festival targets to change lives of Rwandans. And with changed lives, Palau believes other institutions can change as well.

In interviews with the local press, Palau cites families, society as some institutions prone to change after listening to his ministry.

He says the Hope Festival will also increase unity among churches and the government.

Palau believes that festivals are a unique way of preaching and enjoying the word of God.

"My father was a pastor but I had never believed in Jesus Christ. I received God at the age of 27, after I had attended to a certain festival in Kingston ," he is quoted saying in the local press.

The evangelist says Rwanda has restored hope to other parts of the world. Therefore the entire world also wants to see if there is hope for them.

During the ministering at Amahoro Stadium, the preacher says Rwandans will know that God loves them and wants to use them. The Luis Palau Festivals has many partners in Africa . It has been in partnership with Hope Rwanda for the past two year.
