A Jerusalem-based Christian evangelical TV network that reaches hundreds of millions of homes is in very public chaos after the founder’s wife revealed her husband had run off with another woman under the influence of “the devil”.
In a broadcast on the international television station last week, a tearful Wendy Alec told viewers that her husband Rory now lives on a farm in South Africa with a divorced jazz musician.
Problems started in March this year for the couple when her husband returned from a visit to South
Africa, Wendy said in the broadcast.
'My whole world started turning upside down and the next morning he just went. It started to be extremely traumatic for me because suddenly my husband just started to change in a pattern and a way I had never seen him act before. The devil got in very, very easily.'
Mrs Alec said she and the board of GOD TV asked Rory to go for counseling and claimed she discovered he had been having an affair in August. She added that the woman Mr Alec was having an affair with heard a voice from God telling her that he was her Mr. Right and her husband. Mrs Alec continued:
'Rory is on this lady's father's farm in South Africa. He doesn't want to be involved in the ministry anymore and as far as he's concerned, the marriage is finished. He doesn't want restoration, he doesn't want counselling, he doesn't want anything to do with it. He wants a new life. It is traumatic because it's like your life is over, all our memories.'
Last week Rory Alec said he was handing over the running of GOD TV to his wife. He said in a statement:
'After 20 years of service, I have had a moral failure this year. For this reason, I am stepping down. Please forgive me for the disappointment I've caused, but I know your eyes are on Jesus who is the author and finisher of your faith and not on me, an imperfect man. It is with a heavy heart that I confirm my season with GOD TV is over for now.'
The Alecs, South Africans got married 27 years ago and launched God TV in London in 1995. Mrs Alec had become a devout Christian after seeing the face of Jesus in a mirror in the lavatory of a nightclub where she was singing. She and now estranged hubby decided to set up a Christian TV channel in Europe after hearing a prophecy that they would do so.
They launched God TV with £140,000 in savings and it quickly became popular with US evangelists who paid to appear and gain access to European audiences.
