'Father of Christian television': Pat Robertson's death draws reactions from supporters, critics

Pat Robertson's personal attention to me in the midst of a massive conference was a moment in my life I will never forget. I would say his prayer over me touched my family in a lasting way for the next several decades. May God bless the sacred memory of this great leader."

Why he singled me out and walked over to me, I don't know. But I began to share my family's problems and my looming decision about ministry. He put his hand on my head and prayed for my family and specifically prayed that I would become a great man of God and a preacher of the gospel."
