Hooked! Andrew Palau Found God While Fishing
Despite being the son of one of the world’s best known evangelists Andrew Palau rebelled against God until in his late 20s all that changed during a dramatic encounter in Jamaica. Peter Wooding met the man on a mission to Britain

“I was living on the East Coast in Boston working my way up the corporate ladder. I wore a mask to say everything was fine, but in my heart I was really trapped in abusive relationships, drugs and alcohol.
