The reason I love Luis Palau is because this is a guy who is completely all about evangelism and reaching people and the lost with the gospel.

I'm always looking for sounds that are pleasing at the time. The sound of a helicopter is really annoying until you're drowning, and it's there to rescue you. Then it sounds like music.
