Pastor John Gray to Return to the Pulpit After Surviving Near-Fatal Health Scare

Pastor John Gray will be returning to his South Carolina church with a testimony after surviving a near-fatal blood clot.

Gray, pastor of Relentless Church in Greenville, reportedly returned home in July after a two-week hospital stay. The former Lakewood Church pastor had been treated for a saddle pulmonary embolism, a rare condition involving blood clots affecting the lungs. A pulmonary embolism can negatively impact blood flow or sudden cause death, according to the Mayo Clinic.

“Because of God, this bed is now a testimony,” Gray said after being discharged from the hospital. “As I wave goodbye to this bed, I say God thank you for saving and sparing my life. Yes, I have a long way to go, but I’m not dead — so that’s a great start.”
