Jamaican update on CGI’s Ian Boyne

CGI’s Ian Boyne was hospitalized as reported here earlier (see CGI’s Ian Boyne hospitalized and Update on CGI’s Ian Boyne). Dixon Cartwright sent me a link to a Jamaican news source that had the following:

DEPUTY chief executive officer of the Jamaica Information Service (JIS) Ian Boyne is out of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at the University Hospital of the West Indies and is “recuperating well” in the Tony Thwaites Wing, JIS said in a release …

“I am deeply touched by the outpouring of love from all sectors of the society,” Boyne is quoted as saying in the release, as he was updated on the concern expressed by Jamaicans at home and abroad on social media and through calls to JIS and radio stations.

The release said he was told that churches everywhere were in prayer for his recovery.

“I am grateful to God. I am a miracle,” he added as he reflected on the frightening experience.

Boyne stated that he has been seeing his doctors regularly and paying attention to his diet and exercise routine, and encourages everyone to do the same, the release said.

“And I am deeply moved to know that I am loved and appreciated by my colleagues, especially at JIS and in the media. Tell them I shall be back and doing more programmes and writing more articles in the near future with God’s help,” the veteran journalist said while asking the JIS to assure everyone that he is doing well. http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/news/ian-boyne-recovering-well-says-jis_119211

Ian Boyne is a CGI pastor and has long been a journalist in Jamaica.

He and I have shared some emails in the past and almost met once when I was in Jamaica (miscommunication interfered).

Anyway, he remains in my prayers.
