My friend, whose testimony I shall recount by sharing his powerful testimony, in his own words, is known around the world for his brilliant, legendary, unforgettable work as an actor/movie-star in the entertainment industry, known and loved by millions around the world, Dack Rambo.

It was October 28, l992 when God moved in one of the most marvelous ways that I have ever witnessed with my own eyes. Jesus was moved with compassion for Dack who honest-to-goodness has one of the sweetest hearts and spirits but he was all goofed-up and caught up in a little bit of everything because he didn’t know any better! Yet, all the while, he had a call of God on his life. God blessed him with a servant’s heart and he wants to serve God and to serve people. His prayer is “to be an example for God (or good) and to help his fellow man”. His first time ever to testify in church of God’s saving grace and healing power will encourage you and build your faith just as it did those present in that wonderful service. [Dack says:]

“Yes, God is so good. God is GOOD! You know, it’s funny; I’ve been an actor for all of my life and I get up here and I’m as nervous as I can be. But I tell you that it’s worth it all! Because about two years ago I was diagnosed with a terminal illness. I was living in New York at the time and I decided to move back to California to be with my family. And so I did that, and I was there and I guess it was about last October I was at home and as it turned out, the woman who took care of the pool at the house was a friend of mine and my mother’s, and which turned out to be a mutual friend of Ronnie’s too (which I didn’t know at the time because I didn’t really know Ronnie from a bale of hay, at that time). So anyway, we got to talking and I had walked out onto the patio and she said to my mother, well, that guy looks very familiar and my mother said, (as she does all the time), that, well, you know he’s been in television; he’s done this, and he’s done that, so anyway, we got to talking and her name was Casey (Periman), and we got to talking a little bit later on and she said, in the course of conversation, she said, why don’t you call my friend, Ronnie Pierce? And, of course, as I said, I didn’t even know Ronnie Pierce. This was in October of this past year. So I think it was on October 14th this past year that I called Ronnie Pierce, this boy, this man, who I said I didn’t know, and we got to talking and in the course of conversation, again, I said, would you come to me? Because it was at that point in my life, mind you, a year had almost lapsed and I could feel, I could really, literally feel the lights going out in my life; I could feel the shade coming down in my life and I didn’t know what to do, and I really didn’t know at that point how to pray even though in my life I had always been a believer, a great believer. I was raised Catholic, then I had sort of gotten into everything, you know, metaphysical, and Christian Science, you name it, I’ve tried it all! I tried to find the answers in everything, but, so anyway, I called Ronnie and I asked him, I said, would you please come to me, and he said, well, yes, of course I will, and he did. He got there and I think it was October 27 (he came), and it was on October 28 that I was upstairs in my room and at this time I was really really feeling weak and shaky and things were really becoming very very dim! And he was down in the kitchen and I was in the upstairs which is what is now termed the Upper Room, and so I called downstairs to ask for somebody to bring me up a cup of coffee. Well, my mother asked Ronnie if he would bring me up a cup of coffee, which he did. And, as it turned out, that cup of coffee was my cup of eternal life that was given to me that day because for the first time in my life, I was saved and I started speaking in the spirit (in tongues), and from that moment on, my life has never ever ever been the same! It’s funny, because I have always, I realize now, that I have always had a great, --- I always called it a spiritual pull when I was in school, cause I’d always had this strong urge. I mean, I would go to church, I would go to mass every day of my life but I didn’t really know what it was. And I always called it a very strong spiritual pull. I realize now that I’ve had the call of God on my life since I was a very young child. I’ve always wanted to, and when I was in New York, oddly enough, I was so unhappy and the latter years of my life as an actor; I hated being an actor, and I knew that there was something much more that I had to do. I didn’t know what it was. I didn’t know how to go about doing it, but I knew that there had to be something more than just getting in front of a camera and doing whatever it was that I did every day everyday, so I looked to God and I said, please God, reveal to me what it is you want me to do, please reveal to me what it is that you want me to do, and let me be an example for You or for good and to be and to help my fellow man. Well, it wasn’t long after that I was diagnosed with terminal, a so-called terminal illness. Well, that’s why I call it divine providence that this man [Ronnie Pierce] was brought into my life and when he came to me and we started to pray; we started to pray and as I said earlier, my life has really never ever been the same! I am grateful! I am grateful to be here. I am grateful to be alive, and I AM Healed by the Stripes of Jesus, and my prayers – before my very eyes are being answered every day, every day, every day. I will live my life, I promised, I said, God, if you will give me my life, if you’ll give my life back to me, I said, I will give you mine and I will become your yielded vessel to do with me whatever you want to do with me and you can send me where you want to send me in the world, whatever you want me to do, but I said, please take me and let me be yours and do with me what you will, and I’m here today as healthy and healed….and pretty happy! Anyway, God bless you all. I don’t want to keep you and I don’t want to keep Ronnie from speaking but I’m so thrilled to be here and all of you people, every time that I’ve been here have been great to me and I thank you for having me back and as I said, God bless you all!”.
