Posted 10/29/06: The following blog entry was reported on the online magazine of the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals"Please pray for Dr. D. James Kennedy, his wife and daughter, and Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church. Dr. Kennedy is in grave condition following a cardiac arrest last evening.
Jim's health has deteriorated markedly in the last several months, and he has manfully continued his ministry to the best of his ability. During all my interactions with him even during this trying time, he has exhibited his characteristic good cheer, charm, and force of mind. Along with being a man with great vision for the kingdom of Christ, Jim Kennedy is a true Christian gentleman. Please pray for God either to restore him or to give him grace as he passes from this life into the presence of his Lord."
Update 12/30/06: At 9:00 p.m. EST Coral Ridge Ministries posted this update on their website about Dr. Kennedy.
Dr. Kennedy continues to improve. He was taken off the ventilator as of 3:30 pm on Saturday, December 30, and was able to talk and interact with others. We are very encouraged at this improvement in his condition and request continued prayers on his behalf.
