Christian musician Jeremy Camp has requested prayers for a medical procedure he’s undergoing today (March 11). Over the weekend, the singer-songwriter took to social media to “bring this to everyone’s attention” so they could be praying for successful surgery.
In a brief video, Camp shared that he’s been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, or A-Fib, which makes his heart go into “crazy rhythm.” On Monday, doctors will perform a cardiac ablation, inserting thin catheters through blood vessels in the leg up to his heart.

Camp, 46, was the subject of the 2020 film “I Still Believe,” based on his hit song of the same name. The husband and father of three said his wife, Adrienne Camp, will keep people updated on his condition.
Jeremy Camp Has Had Difficulty Breathing
Jeremy Camp admitted he debated whether to share what he’s been facing. But then he realized, “I have a lot of people saying to me…‘What can we be praying for you?’ and there’s a lot of prayer warriors out there.”
While describing his symptoms, Camp said the abnormal heart rhythm has been “affecting a lot of things,” making it tough to breathe and function. “Even tonight, I went into A-Fib on stage, and I had to cut the set short,” he said in the March 9 video. “So that was difficult.”
Camp asked for prayers “that the doctors just have wisdom and that God would just put his hand on the whole situation.” Then he thanked fans “for being amazing for years and so supportive.” Camp concluded, “This is a big cry for help and your prayers.”
On March 10, Josh Havens of the Christian band The Afters posted a photo of himself with Jeremy Camp. The caption read:
I was with Jeremy Camp a few nights ago and he shared with me about his upcoming surgery to correct his A-fib heart condition. He just shared more details on his page… Please be praying for him tomorrow as he undergoes surgery! Love this guy so much and believing that healing is coming!
Jeremy Camp Has a Spring Tour, New Album Coming Soon
On March 21, Camp is slated to begin The Theater Tour, sponsored by Compassion International. There’s no word yet about whether those performance dates might be affected by his medical condition.
Camp’s latest album, “Deeper Waters,” releases on May 17. The title track is out now. “Making this record was one of the most difficult yet beautiful experiences I’ve had in writing for a new record,” Camp shared last month. “Going through and expressing all the things that God has done throughout the years, challenges, joys and pain that has brought me to a deeper place with Him.”
