INKSTER, Mich. (WXYZ) - At 107-years-old and still preaching, Bishop Otis Clark is the world's oldest living evangelist.
He was born in Oklahoma before statehood, when it was still a territory.
Clark’s roots trace back to the historic Azusa Street Revival in the early 1900s which spawned the spread of Pentecostalism in the 20th century.
He turned to God while serving time in prison for selling whiskey. That was when he was a young man and he's been preaching ever since.
Sunday Bishop Clark appeared at Pentecostal Temple Church in Inkster.
His rich life also included a period when Bishop Clark served as a butler to the actress Joan Crawford. He met many other Hollywood stars during that time as well. He also made two trips to Africa --after his 100th birthday.
