His early years were simple and idyllic …he attended the local Methodist Church with his family, got good grades in school, he even had a faithful Border Collie named Mike. His
life was almost storybook perfect until one hot afternoon at the age of fifteen he laid down to take a nap. As he fell asleep his spirit seemed to be transported into the presence
of God. His left arm was pulled upward by an unseen force and the power of God began at his fingertips and coursed through his body. It frightened him so badly that he ran
almost a mile to find his mother. When he explained to her what had happened. She said, "Honey, it's just the Lord. Don't be afraid."
There was no turning back. That afternoon ignited a
spiritual hunger and a passion for God that would guide and inspire his life for the next fifty years.
He formally accepted Jesus as his Savior under the big
gospel tent at the Oral Roberts evangelistic crusade in Cincinnati, Ohio. Not long after that, he received the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Since that day he has been a
man on a mission. He served his first congregation as pastor at the tender age of seventeen.
While pursuing his education at Asbury College in Wilmore
, Kentucky he served the student body as Class Chaplain. The next year he transferred to the University of Louisville where he received his undergraduate degrees in sociology
and psychology. While attending U of L, he served as the Associate Pastor of Evangel Tabernacle with Senior Pastor W.L. Rodgers. This now famous church of 9,000 is served
by the capable leadership of his son, Dr. Bob Rogers, and is called the Evangel World Prayer Center.
