More than four decades after arriving in America from his native Argentina, Luis Palau lives to bring people hope. A featured speaker at Arizona CityFest, his catchy Argentine accent will snag your attention, and his lively, relevant message of good news will not disappoint.
From an early age, Palau has known the fundamental human need for hope and good news. His father died when Luis was only 10. Becoming the family’s sole breadwinner, Luis entered the banking industry, became a successful executive, and later graduated from school in Portland, Oregon, where he met his wife, Patricia. Today they continue to call Portland "home" where they have 4 sons and 11 grandchildren. And they’re living out their mission to share a single powerful message with an entire hurting world.
Whether on stage speaking to crowds of a quarter million people at one of his world famous festivals; through his radio messages heard daily in 48 countries; or in counsel with leaders from local churches to the White House, Palau has spoken in person to more than 25 million people and consistently remains one of the world’s most effective and compelling spiritual communicators.
