The Weekly Update – July 21, 2025
Jimmy Swaggart’s departure to Glory went unnoticed in most Christian circles. And yet, the man who is considered one of America’s greatest evangelists has preached the Gospel to millions around the world.

30 years ago, while browsing in an old church library in England, I came across ‘To Cross a River’, the biography of the famous Pentecostal preacher.
Despite the ups and downs in his ministry, Swaggart crossed the finish line on July 1, by God’s Grace alone.
