Million Dollar Man to perform at Festival
Faith Assembly of God is proud to announce the Million Dollar Man, Ted DiBiase, as a special guest of the Freedom Fest Celebration on Saturday, July 2.
Ted DiBiase has been involved in the world of professional wrestling his entire life. Ted's career as a wrestler has taken him all over the world. He has many wrestling titles over his expansive career not withstanding "The World Championship Title". You may also have heard him at times behind the camera as he often commentated and did color commentating for World Championship Wrestling.
Due to a neck injury several years ago, Ted was forced to give up the physical side of professional wrestling. He acted as a ringside manager in both the WWF and WCW. He has appeared on "Monday Nitro" and "Thursday Thunder" TV programs, and traveled the NASCAR circuit as a WCW representative.
Since 1999, Ted has taken on new roles outside of professional wrestling.
He is a spokesperson for the Sunshine Foundation, an organization that grants wishes for critically ill children, and has founded Heart of David Ministries for which he travels the world as an evangelist furthering the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Also through Heart of David Ministries, Ted shares his prayer of hope all over America in motivational assemblies speaking out against the results of drug and alcohol abuse-warning America's youth about the trap of being addicted to drugs and alcohol.
He also encourages them to stay in school, set reachable goals, and pay whatever price it takes to become the best that they can be.
But, Ted's speaking ministry in not focused only on youth, but he actually has an even stronger message for "macho men" out there, and also struggling married couples. Recently, Ted has been very vocal about the state of today's professional wrestling-speaking out against the sex and vulgar language in the current product.
Ronnie Freeman, Senior Pastor of Searcy Faith Assembly of God said The Million Dollar Man-Ted DiBiase will be the special guest during the Freedom Fest Celebration on Saturday, July 2nd , from 5:00 to 9:30 p.m. Ted will be signing autographs during the festivities and will also be speaking before the huge fireworks show.
