Nashville, TN – Thomas Nelson, in:cast events and World Vision are co-sponsoring the Outlive Your Life Simulcast, to be broadcast live from Oak Hills Church on Saturday, May 7. Author and pastor Max Lucado is the featured speaker, and the event happens live from his home church in San Antonio, Texas. The Outlive Your Life simulcast, airing May 7 at churches across North America, will focus on the themes of Lucado’s international bestseller, Outlive Your Life: You Were Made to Make a Difference (Thomas Nelson, September 2010). Special guests include Lucado’s daughter and Revolve Tour speaker, Jenna Lucado Bishop, and worship leader Travis Cottrell.
Churches across the United States and Canada can sign up to air the special event for as little as $595 with in:cast events (http://incastevents.com/). The Outlive Your Life Simulcast will air live on May 7, from 9 am to 12:30 pm CST and participating churches can access the event via satellite feed or webcast. The in:cast events team, with more than 20 years of experience in live events, will provide marketing expertise, technical support, and event production for the simulcast. Each church can download publicity materials to help promote the event such as posters, bulletin inserts, participant guides, flyers, email templates, and PowerPoint slides.
“The Outlive Your Life Simulcast is an incredible opportunity to host Max Lucado in your church,” says Chris Thomason, President and CEO, in:cast events. “This simulcast is accessible for all sizes of churches – from mega church to small church and will be accessible by satellite and webcast. Our team is committed to supplying everything needed to host a successful and impactful local event.”
A portion of the proceeds from the Outlive Your Life Simulcast will go to World Vision for the construction of water wells in Northern Uganda. Says Max Lucado: “We can all make a big difference in difficult times. I truly believe we have been created by God to do great works. He invites us to outlive our lives, not just in heaven, but here on earth. I hope you’ll join me on May 7.”
Since Lucado’s popular book, Outlive Your Life, released in September 2010, more than 500,000 copies in the product line have been sold and the book has appeared on multiple bestseller lists, including CBA, ECPA, Publishers Weekly and The New York Times. 2010 marked Lucado’s 25th anniversary of inspirational writing, and the bestselling author set a personal goal of securing 25,000 sponsorships for children via World Vision, the largest Christian relief organization in the world. Thus far, more than 20,000 children have been sponsored through the Lucado initiatives.
