Who was Oliver B. Greene?
Oliver Boyce Greene was a Independent Fundamental Baptist evangelist and author. He converted in 1935 at the age of 20. Over 200,000 confessions of faith were recorded as a result of his ministry. He attended North Greenville Baptist College briefly before entering full-time ministry, conducting revival meetings in tents and in churches across the eastern United States for 35 years. Greene wrote over 100 books and brief booklets about the Bible.
In 1956, he founded The Gospel Hour, Inc. as a Christian outreach ministry.

The Gospel Hour was heard on 150 stations at the time of his death. The cause of death was a cardiac aneurysm.
