ONLINE NEWSROOM: Oral Roberts

What Christian Leaders are saying about the Life and Legacy of Dr. Oral Roberts:

“Our Heavenly Father, You sent us a man who brought to this world the knowledge of Your healing power. You sent us a man who taught this world the greatness of Your faith and the principle of seed faith. You brought us a man who obeyed Your will and has sent forth young men and women all over the world where Your voice was dim. And you raised up a man who we knew and loved and who walked with God and who never gave up the common touch.”
Television Evangelist Pat Robertson, Chairman, Christian Broadcasting Network
 

“Oral Roberts has made a profound impact upon my life. His incredible vision and amazing love for people were second to none. He taught me to dream big and that God is a good God. I vividly remember as a small boy watching him on television, hearing him say with a smile, “Something good is going to happen to you.” Today, more than 40 years later, I along with many others are sharing the same message that God is indeed good.”
Joel Osteen, Pastor, Lakewood Church, Houston, Texas
 

“Our dear friend and beloved brother Dr. Oral Roberts has gone home to be with his beloved Lord Jesus. We know that his legacy will continue to bear tremendous fruit throughout time. As Dr. Oral Roberts transformed the Christian world with new faith, hope, life and the seeds he planted will live forever. Dr. Roberts was a true man of God with amazing faith and he inspired me and millions of others with his great healing ministry, his evangelistic zeal and his devotion to the education of countless future generations.”
Dr. David Yonggi Cho, Pastor, Yoido Full Gospel Church, Seoul, South Korea
 

“Today, we celebrate the home going of a mighty man of God whose extraordinary life made a unique and lasting imprint on the world. History will reflect him as a pioneer of the faith whose insight and discernment plowed the ground for so many of us now and for future generations yet to come. Because of his obedience to the call of God and determined vision, his ministry ushered in a new wave of evangelism and helped bring the Pentecostal faith into the forefront of the American Christian life. His life and calling made a lasting impression upon every continent.”
Pastor Benny Hinn, Television Evangelist
 

“With the passing of Oral Roberts, the world has lost one of the most inspiring voices of Christ of this century. I personally counted it as an honor to name him as a personal friend. What a special person he was. I was honored to have called him my friend.”
Dr. Robert H. Schuller, Pastor, Crystal Cathedral, Garden Grove, Calif.
 

“Our dear friend Dr. Oral Roberts was a spiritual father to millions of people both here in America and around the world. We are so thankful for his commitment he made to God to spread the Gospel message of salvation and healing. He was a sawdust pioneer who brought his tent revivals into the 20th century by means of radio and television, and became the highest rated evangelist in prime time television. He opened the door for all of us who are now in Christian television.”
Dr. Paul Crouch, President, Trinity Broadcast Network
 

“It was a privilege for me to count Oral and Evelyn as friends down through the years. I will always treasure the last conversation I had with him on the telephone. It blessed my own heart to hear him say that he knew he was near the end of life’s journey. And then we spoke a little about how much we both looked forward to going home to heaven. I’m sure he heard the words, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant,’ as he first knelt in awe at the feet of the Lord Jesus Christ to whom Oral had devoted his life.”
Evangelist Billy Graham
