Robert Morris, the Southlake, Texas, megachurch, Gateway Church's senior pastor, underwent emergency surgery on Wednesday, April 20th. After suffering excruciating back pain, Morris was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc, which required immediate surgery. The surgery was successful, and Morris is now recovering.

In a statement released by Gateway Church, Morris said, "I am so grateful for the prayers and support of our church family during this time. I am doing well and am thankful to be on the mend." Morris is expected to make a full recovery and return to his pastoral duties soon.
