James Robison (born October 9, 1943) is an American televangelist and the founder and President of the Christian relief organization Life Outreach International.

[citation needed] Robison eventually met his wife, Betty Freeman, while a student at Pasadena High School,[2][3] and they wed on February 23, 1963, when both were 19.

[5] In 1979, Robison lost his regular slot on WFAA-TV in Dallas for repeatedly attacking homosexuality, which he said was "almost too repulsive to imagine... one of the vilest sins known to man.

"[6] In August 1980, he spoke at the National Affairs Briefing (NAB), held in Dallas’s Reunion Arena where he famously said, "I'm sick and tired of hearing about all the radicals and the perverts and the liberals and the leftists and the communists coming out of the closet.

He with his wife, Betty, are members of Gateway Church,[12] the DFW megachurch formerly pastored by Robert Morris, who resigned after allegations he sexually abused a minor in the 1980s.

Past guests have included actor Robert Duvall, singer Randy Travis, US President George W. Bush, baseball pitcher Andy Pettitte and other Christian celebrities.

The third-world mission outreaches include distributing emergency food, drilling water wells, establishing orphanages, rescuing girls from sex trafficking, providing medical care, and abortion alternatives.

James Robison also advocates for the anti-abortion movement and stated on his TV show that he "is the product of his mother's rape and a good life and future is still possible through God regardless of such inconvenient circumstances."
