LIFE Outreach International Founder and President James Robison Dead at 82
Robison, founder of LIFE Outreach International, died at 82, leaving a global ministry and television audience behind, representatives said.
Televangelist James Robison, founder of LIFE Outreach International, died Sunday at age 82; representatives announced his passing on social media without disclosing a cause of death.
Robison built LIFE Outreach International into a ministry focused on feeding programs, disaster relief, and clean-water initiatives while he and his wife, Betty Robison, hosted the long-running television program 'LIFE Today.'
Preaching in over 600 cities globally, Robison shared his faith with more than 20 million people throughout his career, with ministry records indicating broadcast operations began in at least 1995.
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee paid tribute to his mentor, while the board declared, "Though we grieve this tremendous loss, we also celebrate a life faithfully lived in service to God and others."
LIFE Outreach International asked supporters to pray for Betty and the ministry team while vowing to continue food and clean water programs, ensuring Robison's legacy of humanitarian work persists under surviving leadership.
