BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Rev. Jimmy Swaggart, 90, is in critical condition after suffering cardiac arrest on Sunday, June 15, according to Jimmy Swaggart Ministries.
Family members stated that Swaggart was found around 8 a.m. at his home and was revived before being taken to the hospital.
Pastor Donnie Swaggart provided details about what happened to his father during a prayer service on Sunday night.
“A little after eight, Gabe and I rushed to mother’s house. His dad had gone into cardiac arrest. He never regained consciousness. We both took turns giving him chest compressions until EMT could get there. I’ve never seen so many people arrive at one time, and I want to thank them. They were able to get a heartbeat back. Right now he is in ICU and without a miracle, his time will be short. But we believe God—we’re not giving up.”
Swaggart remains in the ICU on the day after Father’s Day.
He is the leader of the SonLife Broadcasting Network and also pastor of Family Worship Center.
