Despite early failures, R.G. LeTourneau rose to eminence in the competitive world of manufacturing and construction. Although his competitors thought him insane, history has proved that his inventive genius was decades ahead of its time. His combination of enterprise, humility and Christian commitment led to his sponsoring many works involving missions and education, including LeTourneau University, A Christian university in Longview, Texas. My youngest son, Danny, was graduated from Le Tourneau University!
