Thomas Nelson best-selling author and pastor Max Lucado recently preached to thousands during an evangelistic campaign sponsored by Mike Silva International (MSI) in San Pedro Sula, Honduras.

Lucado spoke twice during the event's main session, with more than 110,000 in attendance, as well as twice to a pastors/leaders conference at the La Cosecha Church and once to a businessmen's group. MSI officials estimated that more than 160,000 people attended the two-day festival, held April 24-25.

Lucado spoke mostly from his most recent release, 3:16: The Numbers of Hope (Thomas Nelson, September 2007) and his upcoming book, Fearless: Imagine Your Life Without Fear, due from Nelson in September.

"Like we all do, the people in Honduras need to replace fear with hope. I will always treasure the memory of sweet faces, humble pastors and a great harvest," said Lucado, who for the first time reported on an international trip via the social networking micro-blogging Twitter. More than 11,000 people follow Lucado on Twitter.
