Summary: On my desk in my house I have a photo of myself at two years of age, standing by my dad. Even though he died when I was a boy, my father left an example that I can’t beat any time, anywhere. He would always sing the praises of God. He would always read the Bible. He would attend communion every Sunday. And many a time I found him on his knees in his office, reading the word of God, and praying to the Lord our God. My father was unashamed of Jesus Christ. In the small town in Argentina where we were born everybody knew that he was a businessman, that he was successful, but also that he was wide open and unashamed about the Lord Jesus Christ. He helped the poor. He was in construction, building homes. And he would sell a home to a poor family and say, “We won’t even sign a contract. You pay me when you can, so much every month.” And when he died, so many people came to say, “Your father loved us. You father took care of us.” And even today, 70 years later, they still talk in that town about my dad giving an example of helping the poor and living for Christ, and honoring Jesus Christ. You can do the same thing in your town and in your home, and you’ll be reaching your world often without realizing it. This is Luis Palau.
