A Life Lived in Service to the Lord
Dr. David Jeremiah Issues Statement on the Passing of Kay Arthur SAN DIEGO, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- My dear friend Kay Arthur dedicated her life to the service of others and the Lord. She modeled grace and a life guided by faith in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. A wife, mother, nurse, author, broadcaster, and Bible teacher, she devoted herself to sharing the Gospel with everyone she encountered. Precept Ministries, started by Kay and her husband Jack in 1970, stands as a testament and legacy to their shared vision of living out the Great Commission. When human words fall short, God's promises still stand. May the words spoken through the prophets speak to the Arthur family today and in the coming days. For we know that "the Lord is near to the brokenhearted." Please join me in praying for the Arthur family as they navigate the days ahead. May the knowledge that "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord" comfort them in their sadness. Dr. David Jeremiah is a renowned Bible teacher, New York Times bestselling author, and founder/host of Turning Point Broadcast Ministry. With forty years of ministry and "just getting started," his teaching has led to the creation of the Prophecy Academy, OVERCOMER, Airship Genesis, PassagesTV, Why the Nativity?, and PerhapsToday, to name a few.
