Guy Penrod Seeks Prayer Amid Health Crisis

Southern gospel singer Guy Penrod says he is facing a serious health issue involving blood production and is asking people to pray for him.

Penrod shared limited details during a livestream with fellow Gaither Vocal Band alum Mark Lowry. He did not name the condition. He said a bone marrow transplant was the only potential medical fix.

“There’s only one potential fix for it, and it’s a bone marrow transplant,” Penrod said during the livestream on Lowry’s YouTube channel.

Penrod said the news had prompted him and his wife, Angie, to slow down and think about what lies ahead. He also reflected on James 4:14, describing life as “but a vapor,” and said one lesson he had taken from the experience was not to hold a grudge.

“We all serve the same God,” Penrod said. He asked viewers to pray for him, saying he would welcome “a team of warriors” bringing his name before God.

Lowry prayed for Penrod during the livestream, asking God to bring healing and guide the doctors caring for him. Penrod then prayed for viewers dealing with their own health problems and other needs. He also referred to Matthew 8, which recounts Jesus healing a man with leprosy.

Penrod was the lead singer of the Gaither Vocal Band for more than 13 years. The Recording Academy lists one Grammy win for the band’s album Lovin’ Life.
