Oral Roberts was a prominent American televangelist who played a key role in popularizing Prosperity Gospel Theology. He was ordained in the Pentecostal Holiness Church and briefly in the United Methodist church, and was considered a pioneer in the charismatic movement. Through founding the Oral Roberts Evangelistic Association and Oral Roberts University, he emphasized seed-faith in his preaching and reached a global audience of millions over six decades.
