SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS Lindsay, I know that, I know that as people get this film they’re not only going to be deeply touched, but very moved as they see the dramatic story of this little boy Davie and his courageous fight against tuberculosis and how the healing power of God comes into his life and into his family’s life and how their lives are completely turned around. It’s a story that although this film was made in 1952, it lives on. And of course everybody has a neighbor like Mrs. Hackett.
SPLR LINDSAY ROBERTS I have to tell you what that reminded me of because it just IL01 quickened my mind when I saw that. Do you remember when we were ministering in South Africa and there was a precious little boy who had, I can’t think, I think they called it Perthes Disease and he called it “the Perth.” And this little boy was never able to run, never able to play, never able to do anything. And the mother began to tell the really tragic story of this little boy’s life. And the little boy was healed in the service and began to run and play. And the newspapers just went berserk with criticism. And when they finally asked Richard, “How can you stand up there and do all this?” And all Richard said was, “Just ask the little boy.” That’s how I feel about that film. You just ask the little boy.
When you see a child of God healed, this film will tear your heart out. It really will, because it’s the story of a little boy who had tuberculosis and the trauma that that family went through and how he was healed. And, you know, whether you agree or disagree in what you believe and don’t believe, you just ask the little boy.
SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS A miracle settles the issue.
SPLR LINDSAY ROBERTS That’s right.

And you can have your own copy of this limited edition of Venture Into Faith.
I’ll only be offering it this month on the television program. And of course we’ll be sending you your certificate of authenticity, signed, numbered and dated by my father Oral Roberts. Yesterday I was talking with a man here in Tulsa who said, “When are you going to show SU02 some of your Korea crusade on the television program?” And I said, “Well, I did this past Monday and Tuesday.” He said, Well, I didn’t get to see it.” And so I was telling Lindsay about it last night and she said, “Well, Richard, there are a lot of people who probably haven’t seen it.” So I think I’ll take you back to Korea and let you see exactly a portion of what happened while I was there. I was ministering in Dr. Paul Yonggi Cho’s church, the largest church in the world.
The opening night we had some 50,000, the second night 60,000. I preached to 110,000 people in two nights while I was in Korea. I just returned this past week. And so right now, let me take you to Korea and give you just a little taste of what happened while I was there. And this is the discussion that Dr. Paul Yonggi Cho and I had right after the crusade closed. Just watch this. CHO AND RR ROLL-IN

SPKM ORU STUDENT SU03 It is a lifestyle here. And you have to adapt to that lifestyle and you have to, you have to become part of ORU. You can’t just go here and be on the surface. You can’t go here and be half into it and half not because when you come here you’re associated with everything that is here. Self-discipline on the court is really especially a very important thing because you get out on the court and people are watching you, not only as a basketball player but also they’re watching you as an ORU student and they’re watching you as a Christian because of everything that ORU represents.
