FRESNO, Calif., Jan. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Following months of prayer and planning, more than 200 leaders from the faith, business, and civic communities in Fresno and the surrounding valley are excitedly stepping forward to invite the Luis Palau Association to help lead a major effort focused on serving the Central Valley and sharing a clear message of hope.
