Lester L. Roloff was born on June 28. 1914 in Dawson, Texas. At the age of 12, he was saved, and at the age of 18, he surrendered to the Lord’s call to preach. Acting upon this sacred calling, he entered Baylor University. On May 8, 1944, Lester Roloff began the Family Altar Program which greatly expanded his ministry of evangelism through radio. On November 2, 1982, Brother Roloff went home to be with the Lord while piloting his plane to evangelistic meetings. On February 16, 1993, the National Religious Broadcasters posthumously inducted Brother Roloff into their Hall of Fame. During the ceremony, Brother Roloff was described as “a man with a backbone of steel and a heart of gold.”
