Andrew Palau grew up in a strong Christian home, one of four sons of world evangelist and author Luis Palau.
Andrew, however, chose his own way and did not make an early commitment to make the Christian faith part of his life. He attended the University of Oregon where the party life was a large part of his studies. After graduating with a degree in English literature, Andrew moved to Boston where he worked in retail for five years.
In 1993, Andrew went on holiday to join his parents for Luisâ evangelistic outreach in Kingston, Jamaica. His father preached the same Gospel message he had heard him share hundreds of times, but this time was different and Andrew decided to follow Jesus for himself.
Andrew went on to work with the Luis Palau organisation and has shared the Christian message with millions of people, and at every opportunity he demonstrates his fatherâs same passion and love for Christ and for sharing his faith.
