Jan Crouch, who has died aged 78, co-founded, with her husband Paul, the Trinity Broadcast Network, the world’s largest Christian broadcasting empire.
The Crouches founded TBN in 1973. Based on the “Prosperity Gospel” – the promise that if people make sacrifices (and donations) God will reward them with material wealth – it beams Christian-inspired programming to every continent but Antarctica, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Let’s see if he can squeeze through the eye of that needle...
We sure had a lot of this going on in the 70’s didn’t we?
Sounds like these two were at least smart enough to go over-the-top like Jim Bakker.
She reminds me so much of Tammy Bakker with the overdone makeup.
God that is sick. What has been seen, cannot be unseen.....
Now I see at the bottom of the article it says she died May 31. I have no idea why it is being reported now.
It took that long for the reporter to have the guts to post that picture?
There were money issues and some homosexual allegations against her husband but my mom claimed they were real reguarding their religion.
She volunteered to pray with people on the phone and from what she saw for years in her opinion they were legit Spiritually.
"And the RICH MAN ALSO DIED and was buried. In Hell, he lifted his eyes, being in torment... ." "I am in agony in this flame" (Luke 16:22 - 23a, 24)
The "prosperity 'gospel'" is no Gospel at all. All it does is deceive it's followers into going to Hell!
Sadly, this heretic "preacher" know knows the truth... aii too late.
LOL! I never knew about their connections with the Bakkers, but I can see she obviously was immitating Tammy Faye.
They remind me of Marjoe Gortner.
Ummm........no they were not, don’t be willfully ignorant.
If only they would have taken TBN with them.
She, this was the wife.
Matthew 7:23Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Jesus said if you want to follow him you have to pick up your own cross every day - hardly a prosperity message. Look at the message of Peter and James to the audiences their epistles were addressed to - they didn’t sound to0prosperous.
She died a few weeks back. Why publish the obit now?
I don’t know, I didn’t catch that part until after I posted it.
Satan always attempts to corrupt that which is good in the eyes of the world.
