Career
Following his graduation from West&L, Robertson practiced law in Norfolk, Virginia, for 10 years.

In 1988, Robertson and his father, along with Dick Weinhold of the Texas Robertson campaign and Billy McCormack, a Southern Baptist pastor in Shreveport, Louisiana, were named the four directors of the newly organized Christian Coalition of America.
Robertson officially joined his father"s Christian Broadcasting Network in 1994, when the younger Robertson founded Christian Broadcasting Network Asia, Incorporated., which included a weekly television show, The 700 Club Asia, with the goal of closely replicating the aspects of the original 700 Club to include the culture of the Philippines.
He launched Operation Blessing Philippines and the Asian Center for Missions, and facilitated the creation of Christian Broadcasting Network WorldReach centers in Beijing, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, and Thailand. Gordon returned to the United States of America in April 1999 to co-host the original 700 Club and, more recently, The 700 Club Interactive program which is seen on American Broadcasting Company Family and online.
Currently he is producing the new Christian Broadcasting Network Superbook series, which teaches children the truth of Christ in God"s word. Today, in addition to co-hosting The 700 Club, Robertson is an executive producer.
