The founder and CEO of God TV has resigned from his post as head of the global Christian television network citing a "moral failure" in his marriage.

Rory Alec, who co-founded the network with his wife Wendy, announced he would be stepping down on Thursday via his network's Facebook page.

'After 20 years of service, I have had a moral failure this year,' he wrote. '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.'

Wendy Alec, who has overseen all content on GodTV for the past 19 years,will take over management of the channel.

She says she will make a statement on the issue live on GodTV on Wednesday.

'I will take responsibility on the first night of Revival Alert to share with transparency and authenticity regarding the situation to all our viewers and partners,' she said.

GOD TV has confirmed the organisation will continue its international operations as well as the work it is doing in Plymouth, UK. This includes the completion of its Revival Prayer Centre and new staff building at Burrington Industrial Estate, both in Plymouth, UK

On Facebook, followers of the Christian network quickly rallied to support the couple.

Victoria Webster-West, wrote: 'Rory and Wendy we stand with you in prayer for restoration, reconciliation and forgiveness!' wrote Victoria Webster-West. 'Rory thank you for stepping down in honesty during this time of God's dealing with your heart. Wendy all of our love and support.'

Another, Sally Warren, wrote: 'I pray right now that what the enemy has tried to destroy cannot be destroyed. That Rory and Wendy are sons of God and are forgiven. Jesus WILL prevail. Amen.'

Well done for doing the right thing of stepping down Rory

one of my favourite channels @Godtv. I enjoy watching Wendy and Alec together therefore I kind of feel sad right now. May the Lord set straight their affairs. Amen

I like the fact that they attempt to set governance standards among the evangelicals. These simplistic guidelines are what makes a ministry to outlive its founder as well as surviving their exit. Of course very few African pentecostal sects/churches/leaders would sibmit to that level of scrutiny and accountability

The wife of GOD TV co-founder Rory Alec who quit the channel over a "moral failure" says he left her for the divorcee daughter of a farmer in South Africa.

In a broadcast on the international television station British-born Wendy Alec said her husband of more than 20 years no longer wished to be part of the channel.

She told viewers that the "devil got in very, very easily" and alleged that Mr Alec had been having an affair with a divorced woman.

Problems started in March this year when her husband returned from a visit to South Africa, she said in the broadcast.

'My whole world started turning upside down and the next morning he just went,' she said.

'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.'

Mrs Alec said she and the board of GOD TV asked Rory to go for counselling and claimed she discovered he had been having an affair in August.

'The devil got in very, very easily,' she said.

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 said: '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.


^{Wendy Alec speaks on GOD TV about her husband leaving}

'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.'

God TV can be seen in more than 60 countries and is popular in the US, where it competes with other religious broadcasters.

It claims to reach more than 900 million people with its mixture of sermons and uplifting stories of people saved by faith. The Alecs feature regularly along with US-based evangelists.

Last year, they appeared in a show that attempted to exorcise ‘demons’ from President Obama to free him from ‘Jezebel’s clutches’.

The couple, who are in their 40s, met as singers on the cabaret circuit in South Africa.

Mrs Alec was born in London but grew up in Durban, South Africa, and became a devout Christian after seeing the face of Jesus in a mirror in the lavatory of a nightclub where she was singing.

The pair 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.

One of the first Christian broadcasters in Britain, God TV can be viewed online and on its Sky television channel

Rory Alec has not responded to the claims.

BabaGnoni,

Thanks for the thread. I read the latter post earlier today on a link placed on Facebook.

What's your take on this?

Is this another WoF business gone sour?

Can't you for once make your points without being insultive?

Illicit concoction of konji and daughters of Eve is double wahala
Not condoning or excusing,
my take and suspicion however is the aberration was due to "over-spiritualism"...
"Over-spiritualism" opened up a crack, the opening then was taken advantage of

Is this another WoF business gone sour?
Looks like some breakdown of sort happened there....

But I fear lest, as the serpent seduced Eve by his subtilty,
so your minds should be corrupted,
and fall from the simplicity that is in Christ
- 2 Corinthians 11:3 Douay-Rheims Bible

This is serious...my prayers to the couple & their ministry.

Over spiritualism. Sounds Iike it. The woman in SA was said to have heard God say a married man was hers. That's how it start though.

Thanks for the clarity.
