Established in 1947 by evangelist Oral Roberts, the Oral Roberts Ministries spreads the gospel of Jesus Christ through a variety of methods, including television, worldwide healing crusades, letters, publications, music, the Internet, conferences, the Abundant Life Prayer Group (a 24/7 prayer line), and its most visible tool: Oral Roberts University. ORM is best known for emphasizing the saving, healing, and delivering power of Jesus Christ; the work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers; the importance of learning to hear God's voice and obey Him; and acknowledgment that God's love and healing power are vital elements in living a "whole" life -- one that focuses equally on the spirit, the mind, and the body.
