Perhaps many of those did not follow Evel's life to his most victorious achievement. Before his death, Evel Knievel contacted Dr. Robert H. Schuller and his son, Robert A.

Their televised program, "The Hour of Power," is the longest running and most watched Christian program in television history because he wanted the world to know about his most important victory.
