State Senate For Immediate Release: December 15, 2009 Statement from Sen. Dan Newberry on Passing of Oral Roberts Sen. Dan Newberry (R-Tulsa) today issued the following statement regarding the passing of Oral Roberts: “Today the world mourns the passing of a great man, a great leader and a great mentor, who leaves behind an indelible legacy of ministry and service. His impact stretched beyond the boundaries of our state to every corner of the world. Age never diminished his passion for the gospel. He finished the race with zeal, and in a manner befitting a man of his tremendous character and unwavering faith. I was privileged to know Dr. Roberts personally and his words
of wisdom will be with me forever. He was always ready to give words
of encouragement and direction. Dr. Roberts took the time to hear
from God and conveyed the message with passion, such as ‘God
is a good God’, ‘Something good is going to happen to
you’ and ‘Expect a Miracle’, words that are still
relevant today. I can never adequately convey my gratitude for the
legacy he leaves and he will be greatly missed.”
