For more than 50 years, Oral Roberts was a dear family friend and we are deeply saddened by his passing.

He was a great hero of faith whose legacy will live on in the hearts of millions of believers worldwide. He profoundly affected all of us through his strong faith in Jesus Christ, and his deep compassion and love for his fellow man.
