The Gospel singer Andraé Crouch is showing a positive response to treatment as he remains seriously ill in hospital.
In a Facebook post his sister Sandra said the 72 year old was responding well to medication after having a heart attack last week.
He's still thought to be on a life support machine.
"The medical team has given some encouraging news and we are so grateful for the many thousands of people who are praying on behalf of my brother," his sister said.
"With the continued medical attention and your prayers, we are trusting the Lord for a full recovery."
The songwriter and producer who is inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame has recently faced various health problems, including diabetes and cancer.
He and his sister are pastors at the New Christ Memorial Church in San Fernando, California.

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
