BATON ROUGE, La. (WGMB) – The Rev. Jimmy Swaggart, 90, is critically ill following a cardiac arrest on Sunday, June 15, as reported by Jimmy Swaggart Ministries.

Family members said Swaggart, a prominent televangelist, was found around 8 a.m. at his home and was revived before being taken to the hospital.

During a prayer service on Sunday night, Pastor Donnie Swaggart shared details about his father’s condition, revealing that he and his son, Gabriel Swaggart, had rushed to his father’s home that morning.

“He never regained consciousness,” stated Donnie Swaggart. “We both took turns performing chest compressions on him until the EMTs arrived. I’ve never seen so many people arrive at once, and I want to thank them. They were able to restore his heartbeat. He is currently in ICU, and without a miracle, his time is limited. But we have faith in God — we are not giving up.”
