Lester L. Roloff was born on June 28, 1914 in Dawson, Texas. He grew up there on a cotton farm. At the age of 12, he was saved, and at the age of 18, he surrendered to the Lord’s call to preach. Acting upon this sacred calling, he entered Baylor University. While he was there, he paid for his room and board by milking a Jersey cow he had brought from his parents’ farm. He graduated from Baylor and attended Southwestern Seminary for nearly three years. During this time, he pastured two part-time churches. He then pastured four full-time churches before the Lord called him, in 1951, to be a full-time evangelist. He conducted evangelistic campaigns across the nation in giant specially made tents, in churches and in city auditoriums. He began the Family Altar Program on May 8, 1944, which at one time was heard on more than 140 radio stations across America. |
