In 2021, Jeff Jansen left his wife
Last year, Jansen had to step down from Global Fire Ministries, which led to his estranged wife taking charge of the organization. According to Newsweek, the ministry said that at that time, the pastor followed:
“a pattern of making poor moral choices, and bad coping mechanisms, [and] character flaws.”
The ministry clearly stated that the decision to leave his wife and children was a precursor to his departure. They said:
“Rather than submit to the process of healing and restoration, Jeff recently made an intentional decision to leave his wife and family to pursue his own desires. He remains unrepentant and unremorseful.”
As of now, it is not known if the two had completed their divorce and separation prior to Jansen’s death.
