Rev. Jimmy Swaggart taken to hospital in critical condition

BATON ROUGE, La. — Reverend Jimmy Swaggart, 90, is in critical condition after suffering cardiac arrest on Sunday, 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.”
