CLEMMONS, N.C. — The late Rev. Billy Graham's grandson, Jonathan Lotz, has been released from the intensive care unit after being admitted in critical condition with COVID-19, according to a Facebook post.

Graham's daughter, Anne Graham Lotz, announced his release on Facebook Wednesday. She said that he will now begin rehab.

"Thank you for carrying Jonathan on your knees! Please continue to pray he will go from strength to strength with no permanent side effects," Graham wrote on Facebook.

Billy Graham was an influential evangelical figure from Charlotte. He died in February 2018 when he was 99-years-old.

Anne Graham Lotz founded AnGel ministries in Raleigh dedicated to "giving out messages of Biblical expositions." Her husband, Danny Lotz, died in 2015 after he was found unresponsive in a swimming pool in Raleigh.

Jonathan Lotz is the founder of a ministry based in Clemmons.

His biography on his ministry page says he's "experienced athletic disappointment, then cancer, then divorce, then unemployment."
