Joni Lamb Dies At 65 by OLAADEGBU(op): 9:20pm On May 07
Joni Lamb, Influential Christian Leader and Daystar Television Network Co-Founder, Dies at 65
By Charisma Media Staff May 7, 2026

Joni Lamb, president and co-founder of Daystar Television Network, has died, the network announced Thursday. She was 65.

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.

The prophesy was never fake, look at the first few sentences again. It was her time, the ways of God cannot be questioned, only the will of God is supreme.

She had this peaceful atmosphere around her and was a pillar behind her late husband markus lamb in managing Daystar network.

However, I was amazed to learn of the conflict between her and her son about succession of the network after markus lamb died.

She's suffered from a back injury and had a serious swelling on her face before her death.

May God continue to comfort her family and bless Daystar network.

Hard to believe I grew up watching these charlatans... It feels like a lifetime ago now. Business continues to the next generation of Lambs. Or will Doug Weiss steal it away?
Re: Joni Lamb Dies At 65 by IMPARTIAL: 12:39pm On May 10
Honestly, I was never comfortable with the union with her last husband.
Re: Joni Lamb Dies At 65 by Jeezuzpick(m): 1:48pm On May 10
This couple made several mistakes in their lives. I thank the Lord for His mercy on them. I believe they made it to eternity with the Lord by His mercy.

RIP, Marcus and Joni Lamb!

That man is an opportunist who took advantage of a widow in her weakness. Of people like him, our Lord said it would be better if he had a milestone put round his neck and he be thrown into the sea.

But........mehn! 😩

That family's story is like a twisted telenovela!

Opportunist like how? Abi madam no dey read her bible? Abi madam no dey see sin? They even warned the woman self, she dey do shakara.

Divorce is only allowed in the bible in times of unchasity. The new husband's former wife never cheated or stepped out on her man, na the man come dey make up one new sin of 'not meeting my needs...in da other room' to divorce am, marry joni.
