A native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, Luis Palau was born in 1934. He grew up to become a notable evangelist, having preached to millions in around 75 nations.

Becoming a Christian through a British missionary in 1944, Palau later moved to the United States and founded the Luis Palau Association, which oversees his efforts.

“Whether the Lord gives me a few months or a few years ... I have no regrets,” wrote Palau regarding whether he would continue to evangelize following a recent cancer diagnosis.

“Evangelism has been my life. And there’s nothing I want more for you than to have the same deep satisfaction in knowing you are obeying the Lord and investing in eternity.”
