“Mr. Roberston accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior in the 1950s. The Lord spoke to Pat and told him to build a Christian television network for His glory.

Today, CBN reaches millions of viewers all over the world.

“Mr. Robertson also authored numerous books and served as the founder and CEO of Regent University. His love to help people and his obedience to the Lord made a way for him to establish charities such as the Flying Hospital and Operation Blessing, which is one of the most successful charities in the world today.
