Trinity Broadcasting Network aired a 3-hour tribute Sunday evening to its founding visionary, Paul F. Crouch, that included a fascinating documentary-style history of the media organization and short testimonials from many well-known Christian leaders. Wife and ministry partner, Jan Crouch, also spoke briefly about her husband, who died on Nov. 30, following a decade-long battle with degenerative heart.
“God called us on the same day to TBN,” said Jan Crouch, relating an evening more than 40 years ago, when both realized at the same moment that they needed to start a TV station, “and I just always dreamed we would go home the same day.
I never dreamed I would be left without his wisdom and his saying ‘no’ as only he could say,” she explained, while momentarily giggling through her tears, “so lovingly, so lovingly sometimes. I never dreamed that one day TBN would be here and Paul wouldn’t … Right now we just need your prayers and your love like never before.”
