When Evangelist Luis Palau entered hospice care just days ago, he called for his 12 grandchildren one by one, to make sure they would join him in heaven.
That last act beautifully wrapped up his life s calling bringing people to heaven. And now that he s there, Luis can personally thank Holocaust survivor, Corrie Ten Boom, for her poem that he often quoted to encourage evangelism: When I enter that beautiful city,
And the saints all around me appear,
I hope that someone will tell me:
it was you who invited me here.
