The Evangelical world is reacting after famed American Evangelical leader Dr. James Dobson died this week at the age of 89, praising his influence on countless lives and ministries. 

Dobson, known by many for hosting the "Family Talk" radio program, was also at the forefront of efforts to promote Christian values in the public square for decades. He is remembered by those who worked alongside him as a man whose "focus was always [on] the mission."
