PORTLAND, Ore., April 20, 2016 /Christian Newswire/ -- Just months after an historic evangelistic campaign in New York City, evangelist Luis Palau reached millions of people once again with the Gospel through Continente, a televised call-in program April 4-8 in which viewers asked questions and received biblically-based advice on spiritual matters.

The Spanish television broadcast included five nights of live programming in which Palau led people every night to Christ live over the phone. Throughout the week, hundreds of people called in with queries and the Good News was proclaimed numerous times. Through online streaming, social media, and radio components, the program was amplified into a multimedia, saturation evangelism event reaching dozens of nations and millions of people.

First launched in Quito, Ecuador, in 1965, Continente is entirely in Spanish and is broadcast to more than 40 countries on 3,000 stations throughout Latin America via Enlace Television. A veteran to the world of broadcast evangelism, Palau first started counseling people on television in partnership with HCJB Global Ministries in the 1960's.

The far-reaching program was the latest outreach led by the evangelist in a season of busy ministry since the conclusion of his campaign in New York City last summer. Palau also recently shared the Good News at multiple outreaches throughout the Pacific Northwest, and has initiatives scheduled this summer and fall in British Columbia; Sacramento, California; St. Paul, Minnesota; Grand Rapids, Michigan; Tegucigalpa, Honduras; and Chaco, Paraguay.
