Yep...something like “8 million in 30 days” or something like that,and he got the money.
from wikipedia entry on him:
>>In 1977 Roberts claimed to have had a vision from a 900-foot-tall Jesus who told him to build City of Faith Medical and Research Center and the hospital would be a success.
Thus inspiring the name of musical act MC 900 Foot Jesus
>>Roberts’ fundraising has been controversial. In January 1987, during a fundraising drive, Roberts announced to a television audience that unless he raised $8 million by that March, God would “call him home”. Some were fearful that he was referring to suicide given the passionate pleas and tears that accompanied his statement. He raised $9.1 million.
