Oral Roberts (1918-2009) was an influential American Christian televangelist and charismatic healing evangelist. Renowned for his healing ministry, he claimed the ability to heal through prayer and gained fame through large tent revivals and televised broadcasts. In 1963, Roberts founded Oral Roberts University (ORU) in Tulsa, Oklahoma, aiming to integrate Christian principles with academic education. Throughout his career, he faced both admiration and criticism for his faith-healing practices and fundraising efforts. A key figure in the Charismatic and Pentecostal movements, Roberts played a significant role in popularizing modern spiritual gifts. His legacy persists in the continued operation of ORU and his lasting impact on evangelicalism and Christian higher education. Roberts passed away on December 15, 2009.
