Rick Pearson came to the Lord at the age of seven when he responded to an altar call for salvation in a Baptist Church in Chatham, Ontario, Canada. Four weeks later he was baptized. In 1972, at the age of eighteen, Rick made a vow to Jesus that if He showed him He was real, he would give Him his life and do whatever God wanted. At the moment of that vow, the door of the apartment blew open, a wind came into the room, encircled Rick, and he began speaking in another language…very similar to what the disciples experienced in Acts 2 on the day of Pentecost. Rick enrolled at Oral Roberts University (ORU) the next year, graduated in 1977, and went into business with his father and brother in Canada. 

In 1986, at the age of thirty-two, Rick had what theologians refer to as a “theophany”.  It was like a burning bush (Ex 3:1-17) or road to Damascus experience (Acts 9).  In Rick’s case, it was very similar to what the four major prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, and Ezekiel) experienced in receiving their prophecies. These are the same prophets Rick has researched to confirm His “spoken” word with the “written” word of the ancient prophets. Rick received counsel from the President of ORU, Oral Roberts, and was immediately placed on the Board of Regents, and served there for twenty-one years.

The revelation Rick received in 1986 concerned the future and purpose of the USA in Bible prophecy. He was told of things to come which, frankly, left him overwhelmed. After thirty-five years of research, study, multiple mission trips, an undergraduate BSc degree from ORU in 1977, an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Canada Christian College (2015), Rick crossed paths in Israel (2017) with Dr. Rod Hembree from Bible Discovery TV.  After discussing his revelation of Scripture with Dr. Hembree, the Lord spoke to Dr. Hembree telling him to produce a prophecy program, create a studio, have Rick write the scripts and host the program.  Several weeks later Dr. Hembree met with to Rick explain what he was instructed, and ProphecyUSA was born.  Within several months, the program was produced and aired. A Study Guide and Book were written by Rick, and both became Amazon best sellers in three different categories. ProphecyUSA is now aired on multiple networks across Canada and the USA and viewed by thousands of grateful followers.
