Roger Oakland (N/A–) is an American preacher, author, and missionary whose ministry has focused on biblical discernment and global evangelism, notably through his leadership of Understand The Times International. Born in Canada, he initially pursued a career as a biology teacher, embracing evolution until a profound conversion to Christianity in 1978, sparked by personal tragedy and a reevaluation of his beliefs, as detailed in his biography Let There Be Light. This transformation led him from Saskatchewan’s wheat fields to founding Understand The Times in 1990, after working with Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa from 1988 to 1991, a relationship that ended in 2010 amid theological differences. Oakland’s preaching career spans over 70 countries, where he has lectured on creationism, end-times prophecy, and warnings against apostasy, often collaborating with ministries like Lighthouse Trails. Based in Southern California since 1988, he founded the Bryce Homes Program, supporting widows and orphans in nations like Myanmar, and has authored books such as Faith Undone and The Good Shepherd Calls, emphasizing scriptural authority. Married to Myrna, his ministry reflects a blend of apologetics and practical outreach, leaving a legacy as a defender of evangelical faith amid modern challenges, though specific personal details remain private.
