Don't be afraid to speak from personal experience; in many ways, those vulnerable moments will be the key that unlocks a hardened heart.

— Luis Palau (1934–2021), Evangelist und Prediger

Luis Palau

Luis Palau (1934–2021) war ein argentinisch-US-amerikanischer evangelikaler Prediger und Evangelist, der von den Vereinigten Staaten aus einen weltweiten Dienst aufbaute. Er wurde durch medienwirksame Großveranstaltungen als international einflussreicher Verkündiger der Bekehrungsbotschaft bekannt, stand jedoch wegen eines Auftritts im Guatemala der Diktaturzeit 1982 auch in politischer Kritik. Bibellesern vermitteln seine Texte prägnante Impulse zu persönlicher Nachfolge, Vergebung und christlicher Hoffnung im Alltag.
