This TV evangelist founded "The 700 Club," which reached nearly 20 million households through the Christian Broadcast Network. He also founded "The Freedom Council" and the "Christian Coalition." He said God directed him to be a Baptist minister and gave him business advice. He advocated tax deductions for women who stay home to care for their children. He said he was stretching his hand to all Americans, and would not run a campaign for a well-organized minority.
