RELIGIOUS
PREACHING
AN international Christian
evangelist called Luis Palau
staged a month-long religious
mission at Loftus Road in the
summer of 1984.
As part of a massive awardwinning
publicity campaign,
posters were plastered across
the whole of London with
slogans like “Luis Palau at
QPR... bring your doubts” or
“Take the bus to QPR, where
Luis Palau will take you further”.
A leaflet published by
the Teddington Baptist
Church advertising the event
had full details…
LUIS PALAU’S
MISSION TO
LONDON
31ST MAY -
30TH JUNE
“Evangelist Mr Palau is holding
a mission to London at the
Queens Park Rangers football
ground in Shepherd’s Bush
throughout June, every night
except Sundays, at 8pm.
The mission coincides with a
three-month crusade around
Britain by Billy Graham.
“At the age of 12, at a
summer camp organised
by British missionaries in his
native Argentina, Luis Palau
entrusted his life to Christ, and
later as a young man decided
to give himself to helping
others on the same path.
“The London mission,
to which entry is free, will
include youth emphasis
nights on Mondays and
Wednesdays and family
nights on Thursdays. A
1,000-voice choir will take
part, with special guests.
There will be Commonwealth
nights, with proceedings
beamed to Canada, Australia
and New Zealand by radio. A
children’s ‘rainbow special’ will
be held at QPR from 10.30 am
on 23rd June.
