The characters we know from fiction who still live on today. 1: The Preacher
Rex Humbard is a 20th-century evangelist. His church, in Akron, Ohio. is called The Cathedral of Tomorrow and looks more like Radio City Music Hall than a place of worship. It is, in fact, a $12 million complex, from which he reaches, via television, nearly 20 million people around the world.
It seems a far cry from the old-fashioned Bible Belt preachers, who travelled from town to town on horseback.
But, in one respect, REX HUMBARD differs not one jot from his predecessors. He, too. wants your soul for God - and your money for the cause.
