Don Stewart (born November 14, 1939, in Phoenix, Arizona) is a televangelist who appears on The Word Network and other evangelical Christian television channels. He offers prayer handkerchiefs which the ministry so that people who receive them can believe God to heal all financial, health and relationship problems. While the handkerchiefs are free, instructions that come with them tell the user to donate money to the ministry in order to make them work. Stewart's television programs primarily consist of excerpts from his faith healing services and explanations of how the handkerchiefs work, based on the biblical passage in Acts 19 which tells of Paul bringing handerchiefs and aprons to the sick, who were cured. Stewart also claims to heal people via the television by sensing their problems through the Holy Spirit and holding out his hand for viewers to touch.
Stewart's faith healing services are the old-fashioned tent revival type, and his television programs show numerous instances of people discarding walking sticks and wheelchairs, saying they are healed and giving testimonies that they feel 'the Lord has touched them'. Many of the people who attend Stewart's services are black Americans.
