Hello everyone. I'm James Dobson and you're listening to Family Talk, which is the division of the James Dobson Family Institute.

Today we're going to hear the second half of an interview with the late Christian evangelist, Dr. Luis Palau.

I want you to know the context for this program today.

It was recorded in 1984, the first time I had ever met Dr. Palau.

And he came to focus on the family, which was only seven years old at the time. And we sat and talked for a while,

began to get acquainted, and I learned what a great man he is. I could just sense his wonderful

spirit for the Lord. And we stood and talked. Then we walked into the studio and recorded what is

now for us a two-part program.

You heard the first part last time, and we're going to hear the balance today.

Dr. Luis Palau was, of course, known around the world.

He spoke in Latin America primarily, but in Russia and other places. He was associated with the Billy Graham

Evangelistic Association, and Billy Graham, particularly, they were great friends. The website for

Dr. Palau says that he spoke to more than one billion people over the years.

That's just amazing.

He's authored more than 50 books, and his radio broadcasts were heard by millions of people

on 3,500 radio stations in 48 countries.

So God has used this man, and now he's with the Lord in heaven, and we have so

much to be grateful for. So we're going to let you hear the balance of the program that was

recorded at that time, and stay tuned because at the end of the broadcast, something dramatic happened.

And I'll explain that at the end of the program.

So let's listen now to the interview with Dr. Luis Plow in 1984.

Luis, last time we were speaking primarily on the decline of the institution of the family around the world.
