Garner Ted Armstrong (February 9, 1930 – September 15, 2003) was an American evangelist and the son of Herbert W. Armstrong, the founder of the Worldwide Church of God. He gained recognition as the voice of The World Tomorrow, the church's radio program, and later hosted a television program of the same name in North America. Armstrong's genealogy can be traced back to Edward I of England, and he was the youngest of four children, raised in Eugene, Oregon. After serving in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War, he returned to Pasadena, California, where he enrolled in Ambassador College and eventually completed degrees in theology. Despite being disfellowshipped by his father in 1978, Armstrong was noted for his broadcasting talents, mixing political, economic, and social news with religious commentary and adding "wry humor" into his sermons. He also arranged for country music star Buck Owens to entertain attendees at the church convention and was an ordained minister who made Spanish-language broadcasts of The World Tomorrow. Despite facing setbacks in the 1970s, Armstrong left a lasting impact on religious broadcasting and inspired various artists through his work.
