Jorge Raschke

Jorge Raschke

Jorge Raschke is a Puerto Rican pentecostal pastor who is well known for his opinions on many subjects as well as for his religious campaigns.

Reverend Raschke has travelled all over Latin America and the United States to preach, and he has held conferences and church services (apart from Puerto Rico and Brazil), in Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Mexico, the Dominican Republic and other countries.

Reverend Raschke has been holding a yearly event, "Clamor a Dios" for some decades now. The event is held in September, on Labor Day, at the north entrance of Puerto Rico's Capitol building, and it draws between hundreds and thousands of Christians from all around the island.

He also holds annual closed doors meetings at La Fortaleza with the governor and leaders of other religions in Puerto Rico. Some other leaders who have participated in these reunions include Teofilo Vargas Sein and Catholic priest Roberto Gonzalez.

Raschke is against homosexuality, having participated in 31 consecutive yearly anti-gay rallies in Puerto Rico. He has been one of the most outspoken religious leaders against homosexuals in Puerto Rico, sometimes causing newspaper and general media controversy with his anti-gay comments.
