John, somebody would say to me, Richard Roberts, what can I do? What can I do? Here’s what you can do. You can keep your university opened. See, this isn’t our university.
It’s your university. I, Richard Roberts, don’t know anyone who hasn’t come into contact with a graduate of Oral Roberts University. Practically everyone I know has said to me at some time, “I saw one of your students,” or “I heard from one of your graduates,” or “I went to some medical clinic and they were there,” or “I went into some dentist’s office,” or “I went to, I was at some church,” or “One of the graduates from the undergraduate school,” or “I talked to one of your nurses.”
Practically everyone I know has said to me, “Wherever I go, I meet the Oral Roberts University graduates.” Tommy Tyson was on our program recently from North Carolina, wonderful evangelist, the founding chaplain of Oral Roberts University. He said, “I can’t go anywhere without running into your ORU graduates.”
Jimmy Buskirk, the founding dean of the school of ministry here at Oral Roberts University, now the Methodist pastor of First Methodist Church here in Tulsa, our dear friend, and comes on the program quite often, said to me, “I cannot go any place in this nation to preach without running into a graduate of Oral Roberts University.”
