Mark Hall kidney surgery ‘textbook’ success as Casting Crowns pray worldwide

The Casting Crowns frontman Mark Hall underwent a successful surgery to remove a kidney as friends, family and fans worldwide united in prayer as the hashtag “#PrayingforMark” went viral across the Internet.

“Mark is out of surgery. Everything went really well. Dr says textbook operation. Just like we prayed for. I told the doctor that he might possibly be the most prayed for Dr. on the planet today. He will be in recovery for a while. Thank you so much for your prayers. ‪#‎PrayingforMark‬,” was the post on the official Casting Crowns Facebook page Wednesday.

Over 100,000 Likes and 4,500 comments were posted in support of the popular Christian singer who “went under the knife.”

Below is the full comment on Facebook:

The day started off with the band and close family and friends praying with us at the hospital. There was a feeling of Christian fellowship and a peace. Laughs and hugs.

I’m sure you’ve seen his silly hospital videos. He has been in great spirits today. He worked late last night and was pretty tired and ready to go to sleep. He asked the anesthesiologist if could just sleep till it was time to go home. smile emoticon (She said no.)

Can’t believe it, but so far every hospital staff person I’ve met so far has said they’ve been praying for us already. We came here prepared to love on them but they have been loving on us.
