Oral Roberts Evangelistic Association (OREA) is a Pentecostal ministry started by faith healer and televangelist Oral Roberts and currently run by his son Richard Roberts. Originally operating as a traveling revival with claims of curing the sick, in 1963 Oral Roberts University was founded by the ministry. In 2007 following a lawsuit involving Roberts, the school and the association's finances were separated.〔AP, Justin Juozapavicius, ''(Roberts Says God Forced His Resignation )'', 29 November 2007, retrieved 29 November 2007〕 ==History== According to Oral Roberts, his ministry began when God spoke to him and he was healed of both tuberculosis and stuttering.〔http://www.oralroberts.com/oralroberts/biography/1930-1939/〕 In 1947, he conducted his first healing service in downtown Enid, Oklahoma where Oral’s healing ministry was launched.〔http://www.oralroberts.com/oralroberts/〕 He then moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he began to hold tent meetings. During the 1950s, Oral expanded his ministry through literature that was printed and distributed to people around the world, and through the launching of his television ministry. He founded the Abundant Life Prayer Group in 1958 and soon phone calls for prayer were coming in from people worldwide.〔(1950-1959 – The Legacy of Oral Roberts )〕 And in 1962, Oral broke ground for the Oral Roberts University.〔(1960-1969 'The Legacy of Oral Roberts' )〕 In 1980, Oral’s son, Richard Roberts, began his own healing ministry and became President of Oral Roberts Ministries.
