More-Than-Enough Miracles Became My Way of Life in 2009 Being a partner of the Oral Roberts Ministries can bring great blessings into your life, as 20-year-old Jesse Robinson can tell you. In many ways, Jesse Robinson is a typical 20-year-old, making plans for his future and learning about life as an adult.
