Southern Baptist Convention President Johnny Hunt undergoes surgery for prostate cancer this morning in Atlanta.
Baptist Press, which ran a notice about the surgery beginning at 11:30 a.m., reported a Hunt spokesman asked “Baptists everywhere to pray.”
When he announced the diagnosis in November, Hunt said, in part: “I believe that the Lord oftentimes allows things to come into our lives, and this, in particular, has been a great reminder of my mortality, and also of a genuine faith that has brought me through everything that I have ever faced ….”
