WATCH: President Trump, Netanyahu, and Joel Osteen Memorialize Daystar Co-Founder Joni Lamb

Two weeks after the unexpected passing of Daystar ministry President and co-founder, Joni Lamb, ministers and world leaders shared their heartfelt appreciation for her impact on the world in a livestreamed memorial service.

Daystar shared the special public memorial service for Joni, which included special messages by President Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Joel Osteen, and more. You can watch the service HERE:

Daystar revealed on May 7th that Joni had been having a serious, private health struggle that was recently made worse by an injury. 

"The back injury compounded those challenges and led to a more serious medical situation than anyone 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," the ministry revealed in a statement.

Joni was 65 years old when she passed away. She had been married for 39 years to her first husband, Marcus, co-founder of the ministry. He passed away in 2021 after the couple had spent more than three decades working to broadcast God's message of salvation around the world. 

She later remarried in 2023 to Dr. Doug Weiss, who joined her as a co-host on Daystar. The ministry says its work will continue because Joni had created a succession plan with her board, stating, "We will keep broadcasting the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every nation."

Paula White-Cain had earlier grieved the news of her friend's passing, writing on her social media, "Today a General for the kingdom, a pioneer, a worldwide evangelist and MY FRIEND went to be with The Lord. With tears in my eyes ...  I will miss you @jonilamb ..  and I know you are in the Presence of God..  fully perfected .. You finished your course."

Joni is survived by her husband Doug, as well as her three children—Jonathan, Rachel, and Rebecca, and their families.

Please pray for the Lamb family. They have asked for prayers and privacy in the days ahead.
