Jeremy Camp’s surgery was to correct a serious heart condition. Doctors have called the procedure a “success,” though it will take a “few months to fully heal.”
Camp’s wife, Adrienne shared the medical update and thanked supporters for their prayers on social media.
The “Walk by Faith” singer underwent surgery Monday morning to treat atrial fibrillation (AFib), a condition where the heart rhythm becomes irregular and often rapidly beats, leading to symptoms like difficulty in breathing and reduced ability to function normally.
The 46-year-old Camp posted on Sunday, “There’s a lot of prayer warriors out there, people have been praying for me just for different things and I’m super thankful for it.”
Hundreds of people, including numerous Christian music artists, commented with words of encouragement for the singer following the announcement.
Camp often discusses how his faith has sustained him amid even the most difficult times, like when his first wife, Melissa, died from ovarian cancer less than a year after they were wed, a story documented in the film “I Still Believe.”
In an interview with The Christian Post, Camp said he’s “learned a lot” about himself and the faithfulness of God during the COVID-19 pandemic.
He said, “Jesus’ promises are “key” to hold onto amid the uncertainty, fear, and anxiety whenever trials come.”
