SETTLE INTO THE BEAUTY OF THE SONORAN DESERT
Spend an unforgettable weekend with us at the Biltmore…
You are invited to be our guest for a wonderful weekend at the iconic Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix, Arizona. We want to give you time to get away, relax, and enjoy an uninterrupted time of refreshment, fellowship, Bible teaching, and vision-casting.
Please make this weekend a priority. You are sure to be blessed and encouraged as we take time out of our busy schedule to reflect on the work of the Lord and prepare for even greater ministry in the days ahead.
We hope to see you there,
Kevin, Andrew, and Wendy Palau
Let’s worship together…
You will be blessed by award-winning artist and ministry friend, Mac Powell. Mac spent 25 years as lead singer/songwriter for the Grammy-winning band Third Day and is a favorite performer at Palau festivals. We're thrilled to have him lead us in worship throughout the weekend. Some of his well-known songs include New Creation, River of Life, Be Praised, and Love is the Reason.
Be refreshed and inspired…
Be sharpened in your faith and rejoice in the work of evangelism around the world.
