At the Miracle Valley Bible College, 100 students from as far away as the Philippines (his "special" mission territory) study the Allen brand of evangelism. In its busy headquarters building, squads of secretaries, mail clerks and printers attend the banks of file cards, automatic typewriters and offset presses that allow Allen to print and mail out more than 55 million pieces of literature every year. TV and radio technicians stand...
