In a statement released May 7, Daystar said Lamb "has gone home to be with the Lord" following serious health complications that worsened in recent days.

According to the network, Lamb had been privately battling significant health issues before suffering a recent back injury that intensified her medical condition.

"Prior to her recent back injury, Lamb had been dealing with serious health matters that she chose to face head on and in private. The back injury compounded those challenges and led to a more serious medical situation than anyone had anticipated. Despite the dedicated efforts of her medical team and the prayers of so many around the world, her condition worsened in the last few days.

Lamb founded Daystar with her late husband, Marcus Lamb, in 1993. What began as a local Christian television station eventually grew into one of the largest Christian television networks in the world, reaching audiences globally through satellite, cable, streaming and digital platforms.

Over nearly four decades in ministry broadcasting, Lamb became one of the most recognizable faces in Christian television, hosting programs, interviewing ministry leaders and helping shape the direction of faith-based media.

The Daystar Board of Directors praised her lasting spiritual legacy and commitment to ministry.

"Joni's love for the Lord and for the people we serve shaped this ministry from the beginning. We grieve her loss, and we are grateful for the legacy of faith she leaves behind."

The network also emphasized that Daystar's mission and programming will continue moving forward. According to the statement, Lamb had already worked with leadership to establish an executive team capable of carrying on the ministry without interruption.

"Daystar's mission does not change today. Previously, Lamb worked with the board to ensure an executive leadership team was in place so that the ministry would continue uninterrupted. Programming will proceed as scheduled, with on-air tributes to follow in the coming days.

The family requested prayers and privacy during this time. Memorial service information is expected to be announced later.

During this time, lift up Lamb's family in this moment of grief. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
