"We
have won countless souls to Christ together through that network. She
is the best friend you can ever have when your going through a crisis
and feel like everyone has abandoned you. Example: when I went through
10 months of cancer treatment and sent out 600 letters to 600 churches
I've ministered at, for support, and not one responded, it was Jan who
paid my bills so I could focus on my fight with cancer," Licciardello revealed.
Christian metal singer Michael Sweet added:
"So
sad to hear about the passing of TBN Trinity Broadcasting Network
co-founder, Jan Crouch. She was always extremely kind to me and always
supported everything I did. I was a guest many times over the years and I
am grateful for her generosity. God Bless You Jan! Our prayers and
thoughts go out to the entire Crouch family."
