Paul and Janice Crouch, the founders of Trinity Broadcasting Network, built up a single Christian station into the world’s largest Christian television network. And things have turned out well for them. The network’s donors help fund generous salaries of R4 million a year for Paul and R3.5 million for his wife, Janice. There are other perks as well, including a TBN-owned jet and 30 homes across the country, among them a pair of mansions and a ranch in Texas.
Pastor Paul Crouch calls it “God’s economy of giving,” and here is how it works. People who donate to Trinity Broadcasting Network will reap financial blessings from a grateful God. The more they give TBN, the more God will give them. Being broke or in debt is no excuse not to write a check. In fact, it’s an ideal opportunity for God is especially generous to those who give when they can least afford it. Crouch told his viewers during a telethon that, “He’ll give you thousands, hundreds of thousands, and He’ll give millions and billions of dollars.”
