Sandy was there in the beginning with Pat & Claudia. He saw the dream of PBN develop, and was instrumental in putting the computer system together to broadcast on the Internet.

Sandy was not only Pat & Claudia’s dear friend, but he also believed deeply in the Mission of PBN, donating his time and money so others could hear the Intimate Worship broadcasting from PBN."); g_ImageTable[g_imax++] = new Array ("slideshow/01/04.jpg", "Ed Love (pictured here with his wife Joyce). It was an absolute Miracle that brought Ed our way during this time. Ed came to visit Pat and Claudia during the fall of 1999. As he sat in Pat’s chair at the desk with the production equipment behind him and computers in front of him, Ed was near to tears as he told Pat & Claudia that this was the fulfillment of a vision God had given him over 20 years previously.

Claudia and Pat will readily tell you that God put them together—not only as husband and wife as well as best friends, but also as a close team. You would have to work well together to be as close as they are in the same office 16 hours a day. This is Claudia’s side of the studio.
