Lou Sutera
Lou Sutera (birth year unknown–present). Born in the United States, Lou Sutera is an evangelist and revival preacher, one of the twin brothers instrumental in sparking the 1971 Saskatoon Revival in Canada. Raised in a Christian family, he and his brother Ralph began preaching as a team, focusing on repentance, holiness, and spiritual renewal. In October 1971, their meetings at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, grew from 150 attendees to thousands, overflowing into larger venues like the Saskatoon Centennial Auditorium, marking a significant revival that spread across Canada and North America. Lou’s ministry, often conducted through the Canadian Revival Fellowship, featured straightforward preaching, visual presentations, and counseling, with crusades lasting two and a half weeks, including sessions for youth, church leaders, and families. Based in Ohio for much of his career, he has preached across the U.S., Canada, and internationally, emphasizing missions and evangelism, as seen in sermons like “3 Ways to Reach a Nation.” His teachings, available on platforms like SermonIndex.net, draw from Scriptures like II Chronicles 7:14, urging God’s people to humble themselves for revival. Little is known about his personal life, including marriage or children, as his public focus remains on ministry. Lou said, “Revival begins when God’s people see a holy God and humble themselves.”

Scriptures
3 Ways to Reach a Nation
Mark 16:15.16 3 WAYS TO REACH A NATION John 14:31 1. These words form one of the last messages Christ gave His church, a message on evangelism and world Wide missions. 2. Thus, the main work of the whole church in the whole world throughout the whole age is witnessing to the salvation there is in Christ. 3. Jesus Christ has not changed his mind concerning The great commission for the church. Yet we have not really scratched the surface today on the home field or the mission field when it comes to the matter of getting the job done. Myron Augsburger: "Our task is to shatter man's complacency, destroy the comfort of his apathy, & expose his limited securities, so that either in desperation or in new understanding he will come to Christ and his Kingdom.” Conf. on Evangelism, Mpls. MN, 1969. 5. Dr.Howard Sugdon: “We have a specific task in the world and our church has become a center of instruction that the saints may be built up to do the work of ministering in the world. Happy is the church that has found that this is the way God is operating." 6. John, and 7 candlesticks. Rev.1:20 Dr. Sugdon. “The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels (pastors) of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks are the seven churches." "Imagine John sees the church flung out into a dark and squalid world and she stands in the world to bear light. How tremendous Light has no boundaries. You can't shut light in. Light leaps all boundaries. It leaps over the wall; it tangles with all hearts. The church is in the world to shed its light and to be light.” 7. Rev. Lester Pritchard: In world's largest train station on early morning, walking down the stairs thru the underground tunnel. 3 million people pass thru its gates every day. "Coming at me like water that had broken thru a dam." "Lord, how can we reach so many thousands of people? It looks hopeless. Must they all Perish?" The Holy Spirit spoke to me, "There are 3 ways to reach a nation that He the Lord has revealed in His Word and though the church has tried many other ways, it has almost totally ignored, these 3." "I thought of the scores of methods that I had employed in evangelism, yet none seemed to stand out as a special "Then 3 thoughts came to me in clear order."
