Dyson is one of the many volunteers who is working on Palau's Springfield appearance. On May 19, the day begins at 9 a.m. with a carnival for children with face-painting, crafts, games and other activities. The Carnival will be followed by presentation of The Bibleman Adventures, a theatrical event starring Willie Aames, the actor known for his roles on many television shows such as Charles in Charge. Aames created the show, Dyson said. At 7 p.m. on May 19, Palau returns to the stage with more Christian recording groups, Kurt Carr, Nico, and Tait.
Admission is free for all events.
Dyson could not say how much money was raised by area churches to bring the Palau ministry to Springfield. To date, Palau and his team have spoken in person to 13.8 million people in 69 nations. Over the last 34 years, Palau has conducted 412 evangelistic festivals and crusades. Last year, he appeared in the United States, Great Britain, and Mexico. Unlike many other well-known evangelists, Palau does not have a regular television program.
