Paul Crouch Obituary
Crouch died at his home in California, on Saturday after a decade-long fight with degenerative heart disease, his grandson Brandon Crouch told The Associated Press.
"He was an incredible businessman, entrepreneur, visionary; he built something that impacted the world," he said.
Trinity Broadcast Network had reported that Crouch fell ill and was taken to a hospital in October while visiting the network's facility in Colleyville, Texas. He later returned to California for continued treatment of "heart and related health issues."
"We mourn Paul's passing and he will be greatly missed. But we know, as the old hymn reminds us, soon enough we will see him again in that great 'meeting in the air,'" the network said in a statement Saturday.
Crouch began his broadcasting career while studying theology at Central Bible Institute and Seminary in his native Missouri by helping build the campus' radio station. He moved to California in the early 1960s to manage the movie and television unit of the Assemblies of God before founding Trinity Broadcast Network in 1973 with his wife, Jan.
They grew the network into an international Christian empire that beams prosperity gospel programming to every continent but Antarctica around the clock. The programming promises that if the faithful sacrifice for their belief, God will reward them with material wealth.
Based in California, the network says it has 84 satellite channels and more than 18,000 television and cable affiliates as well as a Christian amusement park in Orlando, Florida.
The Crouches faced criticism for what critics say was their extravagant lifestyle. Ministry watchdogs have long questioned how TBN spends the hundreds of millions of tax-exempt donations they receive from viewers.
Last year, their granddaughter and her husband's uncle filed lawsuits alleging $50 million in financial improprieties at the network and detailed opulent spending on private jets and 13 mansions and homes around the U.S. for the Crouch family's use. The Crouches dismissed the allegations, and their attorney said the network's spending was in line with its mission to spread the gospel throughout the world.
He was survived by his wife and their two sons, Matthew and Paul Jr.

By Reverend Dae Yun Kim(Ph.D. In Theology): Since T.B.N.was founded, I have been watched T.B.N. until today. Therefore I know history of T.B.N.very well. Since T.B.N.was founded, T.B.N. grew continueously & T.B.N.became world largest & greatest Christian Television Network. And through T.B.N.ministry, multitude people were inspired & saved in the all over around world. And Paul Crouch is in heaven now. But Paul Crouch left great legacy to multitude of people(all over around world)who inspired by T.B.N.ministry. Therefore many people will remember him & I miss him.

Words can not express the respect we have for Jan, Paul and the Crouch family.
Their calling has been one that has emphasized the meaning of overcoming.
Faithfulness is a daily choice which they took seriously. We gleaned from their steadfastness.
We sincerely thank them all as they cared about us and all that have and will listen to the broadcasts.
We can not phathom the warfare they participated in to birth and continue on. They were a true modern day residue of the apostolic.

There will never be another Paul Crouch. I still think about Jan and how she still must struggle without him by her side. I have always was greatly endeared to both Paul and Jan as they were a dynamic duo and both totally genuine. God bless Paul. I want to shake his hand some day in Heaven. Much love to Jan and the family.

I still miss brother Paul and cannot believe he has gone home. I love seeing the shows or archives with him in them because it makes me feel as though he is still with us. It's just not the same. But God has it all in His hands. May the Lord continue to bless TBN and sister Jan and all of the families.

I just now found out of Dr. Crouch's passing. I used to watch him daily when I lived in Texas. In Gainesville, FL now, I can't get TBN on my cable network. I happened to find the TBN app on my iphone tonight and was listening to his son talk about his passing - shock! It's exciting for him, though, for sure. I wish I could watch TBN on my TV like millions around the world. :(

TBN has been such a blessing. I was watching as I so often do on 7/13/2013 and there was a challenge given to pray for TBN for the next 30 days. I set the reminder on my phone to ensure that I did this. Needless to say, I never discontinued the reminder after 30 days as it served as a reminder to not only pray for TBN, your family, my family, the Saints but other ministries as well. I usually record my favorite shows on TBN and watch them later. I returned from being out of town for the last 3 weeks and of course I'm getting caught up on my TBN. I had no idea of Mr. Crouch's passing. My prayers as they have been will continue to be for your family, my family, the Saints, TBN, and other ministries making a great impact in this world to spread the GREAT news of Jesus Christ!!!

I love the saying Bro Paul said Faith is stepping out to the end of the light and taking one more step GOD BLESS TBN I love you and pray more souls will be won because of your service He will be missed but I know how happy he is now GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY AND TBN ALWAYS

A visionary/history maker gone to be with the Lord, but will never be forgotten..I will always remember back three years ago when I was pregnant and there was a revival on TBN and Pastor Jamal Bryant was a guest. We were facing some hardship with our home and my mother would be up late at night watching. Every night the baby would move so much while it was on it would awake me to tune in. I said all that to say Pastor Bryant preached about sowing $1000 and I agreed that I would do it. At that time I felt like had so much was going against me that I did not get to sow that year. I prayed and prayed that I would soon be able to make the sacrifice to sow that seed. Well my prayers were answered two years later! To Jen and the family stay strong because that's what Paul would want you all to do! Keeping you all in prayer as it may hurt deeply, but it shall one day turn into unspeakable joy for he is gone to be with his Lord!!!!

I know now what Isreal felt when Abraham..and King David.I asked God.."why Paul? In my spirit I heard..." He gets to be in the frontline of our Lord's coming along with the other true general's of the faith."
Just think..him and sweet Jan will have planet's of thier own! Jan will be able to create for eternity...oh boy!!!

TBN has blessed my life a lot and I am still a TBN partner. I have also received free gifts from TBN which I love very much, such as books, survenirs and the picture of Baby Jesus/mother.Also got some next to nothing discouted Items for supporting TBN. TBN is a wonderful Network which any believer should love.
TBN made me to know alot of servants of God by watching it, and I love all programmes of TBN. TBN is inspirational. Both Paul and his wife are true servants of the Lord Jesus.
May his soul rest in perfect peace. May TBN live for ever and God almighty continue to bless TBN and the rest of the family that are going to run it with Partners round the world.
Wishing the entire family God's blessings and peace always in Jesus name. Psm 91 always.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
