- <p> Even for a faith healer, two miracles is a lot to ask. In
- 1987 televangelist Oral Roberts, 71, raised $4.5 million from
- viewers after declaring that otherwise God would call him home.
- Last week he announced that he would close his medical school
- and hospital to aid in digging the ministry out of $25 million
- in debts. He and son Richard, 40, will sell five Tulsa homes to
- help out. "However spiritual one is," Roberts told his
- followers, "you cannot do anything without money."
