There's one for the ayatollahs, here's a list of elderly (born 1939 or before) Christian televangelists, cultists and apocalypticists etc. 

 

*Paul Mwazha (1918/1928) Zimbabwean church founder/cultist/"angelic messenger". 

*Ezekiel Guti (1923-2023) Zimbabwean founder/preacher televangelist/evangelist cultist founder of ZAOGA and a good friend of the late Robert Mugabe.

*Beverly LaHaye (1929-2024) Decaying CWA founder and widow of major bigot Tim LaHaye. Has barely made any public appearances in two years and looked half-dead a year ago.

*Hal Lindsey (1929) Apocalypticist, evangelical zionist writer with a great moustache from the US known for his 1970 book The Late Great Planet Earth. His rapture has still not happened. Very influential and likely most modern conspiracy theories wouldn't be as strong as they now are without this guy, his later book The 1980s: Countdown to Armageddon was a NY Times bestseller for over 20 weeks. Retired around 2019.

*Pat Robertson (1930-2023) Yawn. Still not dead.

*Jorge Raschke (1930) Puerto Rico homophobe pentecostal evangelist. Obese.

*Marilyn Hickey (1931) US: Known most for holding a three-day faith healing rally in Pakistan ten years ago. Enlargened heart at 11 and a family history of heart diseases.

*Gene Edwards (1932-2022) Southern Baptist house church pastor and evangelist. Seemingly never completely recovered from a bout of histoplasmosis he had in the 60s.

*Charles Stanley (1932-2023) US televangelist, not the biggest piece of shit on this list, but still a homophobe who makes half a million a year with his cult.

*Kay Arthur (1933) Another US televangelist. I don't know much about them, but seems quite similar to the one above.

*Chuck Swindoll (1934) Texas radio preacher with a massive amount of radio stations around the world.

*Jack W. Hayford (1934-2023) US. "Discontinued making public appearances in 2019".

*Jimmy Swaggart (1935) Massive Pentecostal televangelist and Jerry Lee Lewis' cousin.

*Homer Edwin Young (1936) Leader of Texas (of course) megachurch Second Baptist Church Houston. Tons of heart problems, triple bypass in 2010.

*Kenneth Copeland (1936) Massively wealthy cult televangelist. US, you can guess the state.

*James Dobson (1936) US, called the "nation's most influential evangelical leader" and "successor to evangelical leaders Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson". Homophobe, Trump-lover, intelligent design advocate, everything you'd expect from a cult leader except that

*Monsignor Jonas Abib (1936-2022) Brazil Canção Nova Community leader, good friend of Bolsonaro.

*John MacArthur (1939) Controversial protestant radio preacher. Fearmongering POS. Heart operation in March 2023.

*Donald Lee Stewart (1939) Disgraced faith healer known for selling "healing packages".

*Mike Velarde (1939) Philippines televangelist with Marcos family connections

Donald Lee Stewart died on January 24, 2024, aged 84, according to an unsourced edit to his Wiki page.

I can't find anything on Google or Facebook. He was usually known as "Apostle Stewart". I can find an old page on Facebook that hasn't been updated since the early 2010s. All of his websites are long down.
