...year-old evangelist sits on a pink couch in an Orlando condo with a view of a lovely little lake, oxygen feeding constantly through a tube in his nose. He is not in good shape: incurable pulmonary fibrosis has left him only 40% use of his lungs, and his doctors told him a year ago that he had just months to live.
