Born and raised in a world far from the pulpit, Huch’s early years were marked by addiction and chaos. “I was the least likely person to end up in ministry,” he recalls. “I was caught in a cycle of drugs and destruction, with no way out.” But a profound spiritual awakening changed everything. Huch describes this moment as a divine encounter, where he felt God’s mercy pull him from the brink. “That was the start of my journey,” he says. “God showed me I wasn’t too far gone.”
From that pivotal moment, Huch dedicated his life to serving others. Over the past 46 years, he and his wife, Tiz, have planted seven churches across the United States and Australia, building communities of faith built on Christ and compassion. As the host of the daily television broadcast New Beginnings With Larry & Tiz Huch, Huch reaches millions with messages of hope and healing. His ministry extends beyond the church walls, driven by a commitment to breaking generational curses and helping people discover God’s purpose for their lives.
Huch’s passion for the Jewish roots of Christianity has also shaped his work. A respected authority on the subject, he has taught extensively about the church’s need to reconnect with its Hebrew heritage. His advocacy for Israel is equally profound, earning him recognition from the Knesset Social Welfare Lobby for his generosity in supporting the Jewish people. Serving on the board of the Israel Allies Foundation, Huch has forged connections with global leaders, from Prime Minister Netanyahu to President Donald J. Trump, sharing his message of faith and unity.
His ministry has taken him to the most unlikely places—from the White House to maximum-security prisons, from the streets of Portland to the Philippines. Whether speaking to the elite or the overlooked, Huch’s message remains the same: “No matter where you are or what you’ve done, God has a miracle waiting for you.” This belief drives his work, from counseling families in crisis to inspiring congregations to embrace Christ.
Huch’s remarkable story is captured in his book, From Junkie to Jerusalem: A Journey of Destiny, set for released in March. The book chronicles his transformation, offering readers a raw and inspiring look at how God can redeem even the most broken lives. Through personal anecdotes and spiritual insights, Huch encourages believers to break free from their past and step into God’s promises. “This isn’t just my story,” he says. “It’s proof that God can take anyone from wherever they are to beyond what they could imagine.”
