Palau got in touch with fellow evangelicals, and cooperated with Portland Commissioner Erik Sten, Potter, Beaverton Mayor Rob Drake, and Gresham Mayor Shane Bemis in 2008 in planning his August 22-23 festival, which will focus on volunteerism in support of the homeless. Potter asked for Palau's assistance in getting other evangelical leaders to address Portland's homelessness problems. Former Portland Mayor Vera Katz did not attend his first big Portland event in 1999, but current Mayor Tom Potter, who is not a churchgoer, approached Palau at a 2005 Portland appearance by First Lady Laura Bush. Recently he has partnered with secular leaders as well. Palau makes a point of staying out of politics, refusing to endorse ballot measure or candidates.

In 1999, a writeup in a Portland weekly newspapers noted that Palau had assembled an 80,000 member audience in 'the nation's least-churched major city.' It also noted the contrast with the previous large revival, led by an aging Graham, which drew larger numbers but not as many young people as Palau's.

Palau presently resides in Cedar Mill, Oregon.
