Let me share with you three things about the life of Luis that I celebrate.<\/p>\n
First, there was Luis\u2019 energy<\/em>. He was a man who, astonishingly, preached as an evangelist for nearly seventy years. In 2015, at the age of eighty-one, he held an outdoor service for 60,000 people in New York\u2019s Central Park and lamented that planning laws hadn\u2019t allowed more attendees. Indeed, when he received news that he had lung cancer, one of his main regrets was that he might have to cancel some of his preaching events. In part, that energy came from his own natural strength but I\u2019m sure a lot of it was asked of God and given by him. Theodore Roosevelt once wrote,<\/p>\n There wasn\u2019t much rust on Luis.<\/p>\n Second, there was Luis\u2019 enthusiasm<\/em>. One reason that Luis was so good as an evangelist was that he was so openly and wonderfully enthusiastic about the gospel. As anyone who heard Luis will testify, there was joy in what he said. With him the good news sounded good news<\/em>!<\/p>\n Third, Luis was effective<\/em> in his evangelism.<\/p>\n Read it all<\/a>.<\/p>\n After a 3 year battle with lung cancer, Dad passed away today at his home in Portland, Oregon. <\/p>\n We are heartbroken, yet full of hope and faith. We serve a good God who loves us tremendously.
