"The beloved Dr. Jack Van Impe was welcomed into Heaven by His blessed Savior and Lord who he had so faithfully served in ministry for over 70 years," said an announcment on the website of his ministry, Jack Van Impe Ministries International.

"Please pray for his beloved wife and lifelong ministry partner Rexella and their families as they grieve this immense loss and for wisdom as she and the Board lead the ministry in the days ahead."

Hundreds of mourners commented on the site, including Eric Johnston, who wrote: "I have watched him for over 30 years and I just turned 40 this month! Like losing family. I will be praying constantly for Rexella. Keeping mind that we will all be together very soon!"

Seems he has been on television forever.
He really had some hair back in the day!

Have to say I’ve never heard him say anything I’d take serious issue with. RIP.

RIP in the Arms of Jesus.

Jack Van Impe’s TV program ministered to me greatly in my early years as a Christian, nearly 40 years ago.

What an ironic last name for a reverend; Dr. Impe.

I remember he was said to have memorized the Bible. I once taped his show and went through it, checking his Bible references (there were a lot).

He was 100% correct.

There were a few things I questioned about his doctrine. I guess he knows the correct answers first. His memorization of Bible verses was second to no one else I encountered. May he be resting with the Lord.

I enjoyed his show. He certainly could quote the scriptures and tie them together to reinforce a point. RIP, brother.

I caught his program recently and was surprised at how frail he looked. RIP.

I don’t like the ones who constantly try to scare old people with doom and gloom. Impe and his wife(?) did that a lot.

So sad to hear this. I thought he was a goner last year but he came back strong and passionate. I’m so glad he got to be on TV for a little longer. Will miss him greatly. You couldn’t ask for better Servants of God than Jack and Rexella - what a blessing! Heaven just gained a new Saint.

[[I don’t like the ones who constantly try to scare old people with doom and gloom.]]

Millions have become saved under hell fire and brimstone preaching- it;’s effective- and people should be scared- eternity without God is going to be horrific- there’s no sugar coating eternity without God-

Did you insert a question mark after ‘his wife’ for any particular reason?
