The cable news networks are reporting that Oral Roberts has died at age 91 from complications following a bout with pneumonia.
When a person my age thinks of TV and Radio evangelists, Billy Graham and Oral Roberts are the first one's that come to mind.
His contributions to the Christian world have been huge. Oral Roberts University is but one legacy that he leaves behind. For Christian believers in the evangelical movement, Oral Roberts would be lauded as one of the greatest men to have lived, having brought untold numbers of folks to God through his teachings and preachings.
Even for those that don't believe in his message, you have to admire his faith and desire to share it with others. May he rest in peace.
