Trinity Broadcasting Network co-founder Paul Crouch dies at 79
“We are grateful for the life of this amazing servant of God. Please pray for the Crouch family during this time,” said the announcement.
No further details on the televangelist’s death were immediately available.
On November 5, TBN said Crouch fell ill and was hospitalized in Texas in late October. He returned to California for treatment of “his heart and related health issues,” a network spokesman said. Crouch received a pacemaker in 2012.
TBN, based in Orange County, California, bills itself as the most-watched faith channel in the United States.
Kenneth Thomas, a commenter on the TBN Facebook page, said of Crouch: “He was a great blessing to the body of Christ and to the world!”
Crouch, a native of St. Joseph, Missouri, began his broadcasting career in the 1950s, working at commercial stations. The pastor worked for the Assemblies of God in Burbank, California, during the early 1960s, operating its TV and film production.
