Medellin Gospel Park Outreach 2009
On Sunday afternoon of the 9th of August, the New Generation Youth Ministry of Christ For the City International and the Word, Bread, Fish Foundation carried out an event in the city if Medellin, Colombia which gathered together more than 18,000 people. In 2007 the Gospel Park Outreach began as a proposal to make an evangelistic impact and support the local talent. Over the years the even has become stronger, and this has allowed us to be included in the program of the Flower Festival, which is one of the most important traditional celebrations of the city of Medellin.
According to the report of the EPM Foundation, who administrates the Desires Park where we have celebrated the event during the past three years, the attendance has been satisfactory. It was between 13,000 and 15,000 people in 2007, between 15,000 and 16,000 people in 2008, and then increased to between 18,000 and 20,000 people in 2009. When I consider the evangelistic and social impact that the outreach has had, we have a strong conviction that all of this is because of the Lord’s goodness, who in His love has decided to use ordinary common people to exalt His Name. The Gospel Outreach has been maturing each year and our desire is that we will be able to exalt Jesus through these big events. Many people who we know have a strong burden for the youth and children of this city have joined with us in this project. It is a joy for us to work in the matters of the Kingdom and know that they are significant for the administration of the city of Medellin.

The Gospel Park Outreach is a means in which music and lyrics joyfully and contemporaneously express the only true message of love, which is the message of our Lord Jesus.
Cristal Agudelo: Director of New Generation
It is very significant to see what God does through people who believe in Him. The Gospel Park Outreach is an event which is socially and spiritually relevant.
