MARC MERO -- Reaching the World with a Message of Salvation... Renewal... Inspiration... and Hope 

 

Former WCW and WWE Wrestling Champion Marc Mero is inspiring thousands as he shares his incredible testimony around the globe. First known in the wrestling world as “Johnny B. Badd,” Marc speaks candidly about his entertainment success and his downward spiral caused by negative choices. Following a series of personal tragedies and the loss of more than 30 friends and family members, Marc was on the brink of suicide. But God had a larger purpose for Marc outside the ring.

His compelling story takes listeners on a captivating journey – from Marc’s rise to fame and fortune to losing it all – to becoming the "Happiest Person on the Planet." Listeners laugh and cry as they watch God’s amazing Grace play out before their eyes in a dynamic, engaging delivery that touches the heart. Churches everywhere are seeing record attendance when hosting Marc Mero. During a visit to Russia, more than 400 people accepted the gift of salvation.

Marc’s message is one of renewal, hope, mercy and grace. As the founder of the nonprofit organization Champion of Choices, Inc., Marc is passionate about empowering people to make positive choices and discover their God-given purpose. This dynamic outreach event has people of all ages examining their lives in a new way that reestablishes a closer walk with the Lord or leads nonbelievers into a relationship with Christ. "It is clear that God saved me for a purpose," Marc says. "If I can change one person's life for the better, my life has not been in vain.”

In Their Own Words . . .

Your heart is like a key opening the lives of people to God’s treasure chest of provision. Every church in this country needs to have you come and make a deposit. Larry Raffery Pastor, Laurel Church -Merrillville, IN

We recently had one of the best outreach events we've ever had in our community. We hosted former WWE / WCW wrestling star, Marc Mero, and he had a huge impact on our church! He's a class act in every way and his story is amazing. Laughter, tears, and everything in between.

Justin Miller Lead Pastor,  Real Life Christian Church - Clermont, FL

I'm truly grateful for the way that the Lord ministered through you to our congregation. To witness you connecting to everyone in service was simply amazing. Young, old, male, female, black or white all seemed to benefit from the word that you shared. Consider it my pleasure and mission to recommend you and your staff to schools and churches. Tony McCoy, Senior Pastor- Hope Internatioanl Church, Groveland, FL

Marc, It was indeed a huge blessing having you at Cornerstone. Your message touched the hearts of everyone. Your transparency in sharing your personal journey was inspirational and convicting. Your story resonated with so many families. The response of young and old alike was absolutely beautiful. Families were brought closer together, young people are evaluating their choices from a new perspective, and many received Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. It was a great day. I consider you a new friend and brother. You were a joy to work with. I would love to have you at Cornerstone again. I will certainly be recommending you to my pastor friends.  Nathan Blackwell, Senior Pastor - Cornerstone Family Church, St. Cloud, FL

It was our privilege to have Marc Mero share his life story to our congregation. Marc is an effective communicator who is able to reach every generation. He is not the typical rags to riches story, but one lined with fingerprints of a concerned Savior. I would encourage you to prayerfully consider inviting Marc to share his story with your congregation. Lives will be changed in numerous ways, including the opportunity to begin or renew a relationship with City churchJesus Christ. Dr. George Cope Lead Pastor, Calvary Assembly Orlando

Everyone should hear Marc Mero's story! You will laugh, and you will cry, and you will leave with a new perspective as he compels you to evaluate what is important and what gives meaning to your life.

Marc is a gifted communicator, a valued friend and a man with a passion to win souls for Christ. I encourage you to invite him to your church and I promise - his story will touch the hearts of your
people. Dr. Dave Martin
America's #1 Christian Success Coach

Marc has spoken at River Run Christian Church and the impact is still being felt weeks later as lives are still being changed through his message.

Mike Andriano Senior Pastor,  River Run Christian Church - Chuluota, FL

One of the greatest services we have had was when Marc spoke at our church. I highly recommend him to fellow pastors, churches and schools. Chris Whaley Senior Pastor, First Baptist of Longwood, FL

Marc's presentation is compelling and life changing. He spoke last week at my church and we saw so many people's lives changed to the glory of God, it is incredible. All week long people have been sharing stories of how Marc's life story along with the Gospel has brought hope and healing to them and their families. Praying for you Marc! May God continue to bless Champion of Choices. Mike Conaway Lead Pastor, City on a Hill Church - St Petersburg, FLpower

As a pastor, one of the greatest joys is seeing people come to Christ; for Salvation, for healing, for hope, for comfort, for freedom…and our altars reflected God’s presence and moving in our service through your words. If anyone needs a testimony of the impact of your message, just call me. By far, this was the most effective Outreach Service our church has had this year! The results were overwhelming. Jim Page, Lead Pastor,  Apopka Calvary Nazarene  Apopka, FL

One of the greatest services we had was when Marc Mero spoke at our church. Please do not hesitate to call on me if I can answer any of your questions concerning Marc and his presentation.

Dr. Brian Pikalow Pastor, Asbury Methodist Church Maitland, FL

I wasn't planning on attending church today. My son Ralph asked me if I would come because there was going to be a wrestler there. Marc, you gave such a powerful devotion of your life. All I could do was sit there and hold my son. I have never witnessed such an inspiring message from the most unlikely person I would probably meet. John Patterson,  Living Stones Church - Alvin, TX

I was at the Fellowship of Christian Athletes camp at First Baptist Orlando when you spoke to us about your life and struggles. I just wanted to say thank you for that experience. I know we’re expected to be big tough football players, but me and almost my whole team were crying. It was one of the most life changing experiences of my life. Thank you and God Bless, Edgewater High School Football Player - First Baptist Orlando Orlando, FL

pray

I was at living stones church and I wanted to let you know how big of an impact you had on me. I've been saved before but felt like I was growing away from God. Today I broke down because of your story and walked up to the front, I'm not sure how. My heart was beating a million miles an hour and I couldn't feel my legs and I felt so much better after I got up there and recommitted. I wanted to thank you for coming to this church. I hope you go to a lot more churches and schools. People need to hear your story. Thank you so much Marc. John Merchant

Marc Mero - Personal Testimony

Marc Mero and Champion of Choices

What profits a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul? Matthew 16:26

As a famous sports celebrity, I lived a lifestyle most people only dream of – a lifestyle I imagined since I was a young boy. Born in Buffalo, New York, my parents divorced when I was eight years old. My mother supported my two siblings and me by working two jobs, and we struggled to get by. I hated living this way and decided to “dream big” – writing down my goals in a journal. I soon found success in sports and became a football and hockey all-star. I was also a four-time New York State Boxing Champ. But it was professional wrestling where I would fulfill those boyhood dreams of being rich and famous.

I traveled the world, became a millionaire, and hung out with celebrities. People would say, “Marc, you made it!” But inside I was empty and tried to fill the void with drugs and alcohol. After losing more than 30 of my friends – largely due to their bad choices – my life continued to unravel. My wife of ten years walked out the door… my heart was crushed and my finances dwindled. I didn’t think my life could get any worse, but it did.

I continued to suffer tremendous loss, including the deaths of my little sister and brother – who both died at age 21 – and my mother and father who left this earth way too early. On Christmas Day 2003, I was alone at the pier at Cocoa Beach, Florida, with nowhere to go and no one to call. I watched the waves roll in and roll out. I contemplated the end of my life. If it weren’t for divine intervention I wouldn’t be here.church

Surrendering my will and rededicating my heart to Jesus Christ nine years ago set me on a path to be used by God in an amazing way. God took my “mess” and turned it into my message. The Lord has since led me to share my personal story of tragedy and triumph with more than 300 churches, schools, and organizations throughout the world.

My life is a miracle! But miracles don't come without trials or tribulations. Because of the sacrifice Jesus made on The Cross, my chains are broken. I've been set free. You can be set free too! No matter what adversity you are going through – whether it's isolation, loneliness, depression, financial heartache, substance abuse, alcoholism or broken relationships – you are this close to your miracle. Don't give up! “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

My story is one of renewal, hope, mercy and grace. As an inspirational speaker, evangelist, and author of “How to be the Happiest Person on the Planet,” I plan to spend the rest of my days sharing the important truths I learned – and helping people realize who they are in Christ. Life isn’t about winning the race; it’s about finishing the race and how many people you can help along the way!
