Oral Roberts Died


Evangelist Oral Roberts died today of complications from pneumonia. He was 91.

On Saturday, December 12, while in his home in California, Oral Roberts slipped and fell,” reported the ministry of the 91-year-old televangelist in a statement released Monday.

"He was transported to a local hospital and is currently being treated for broken bones and a slight case of pneumonia. Doctors report he is in stable condition,” added the ministry, which is presently being led by Roberts’ son, Richard.

Roberts was a pioneer in televangelism, with his first revivals broadcast in 1955. Roberts founded Oral Roberts University in 1963, and served as president of the school until 1993.

Roberts was born a minister's son in Oklahoma. After leaving university without a degree, he embarked on crusades with a tent holding up to 3,000. As his reputation grew, he left the Pentecostals to establish the Oral Roberts Evangelistic Association. He made his TV debut in 1955, and attracted a vast following. In 1963, he set up the Oral Roberts University in Oklahoma, which forbade students to drink, smoke or have sex before marriage .
