Creation Festivals, the world's largest Christian festivals brand, has announced that they will be postponing their Northwest festival until 2019. Creation Northeast will continue as scheduled.

"It is with much prayer and deep consideration that the leadership has come to the decision to postpone Creation Northwest 2018," a statement on social media read. "Unfortunately, as we head into 2018 we have realized we need to pull back for a year in order to re-group and re-focus, in an effort to be good stewards of this ministry. This is a tough decision, but we know in our hearts it is the right decision to help see this festival continue for years to come."

They instantly responded to questions likely to arise from anyone who has already bought event tickets. Full refunds are available, though ticket holders also have the option to let their tickets carry over to 2019. All Northwest ticket holders are also invited to attend Creation Northeast with a 50% discount. Ticket questions can be addressed by calling 800-327-6921 extension 201, or emailing help@creationfest.

The post concluded with a call to prayer: "Please continue to pray for the Creation Festivals and the leadership as we plan for 2019. We are grateful for your support and are excited at what the future holds!"
