I homeschooled my kids the whole way. They are now 38, 36, and 33. I did it when it wasn’t popular. My family rejected me. Thank you Kirk for your story. I still stand for what I did.

I'm glad you were there for your sister, Kirk. 💕

I am so happy that a Hollywood movie star decided to turn his back on this evil world. I used to watch Growing Pains as a child, was a wholesome family sitcom for families to watch together. You do not get anything like that anymore, not even in animated children movies. I am so happy that you, Kirk are a a child of God and spreading the message far and wide!

OMG I loved watching Growing Pains when I was a kid in China! I can’t believe you are Mike! I grew up as an atheist and became a Christian 7 years ago! What a beautiful transformation and testimony you had! Lord is so good ❤ 🙏

Greetings to everyone from the north coast of California, I always liked the TV show of growing pains and the style of Kirk in the show I implemented it in my life, I never thought that He would become a Christian and of such caliber, impressive what God does!! My best wishes to Kirk and his family, a very talented person!!

This is what the world needs, more celebrities confessing their beliefs and sharing the gospel to all. The world needs Jesus Christ he’s so amazing 🙌🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽✝️❤️

So blessed to have grown up with Kirk Cameron and 2 have went from atheist also to born again Christian.
Keep standing your Faith in Hollywood Kirk!

I first learnt about you in the "Left Behind" Video's. I could just sense that you were a reborn Christian. And you became a rolemodel for me.

I think that Kirk and Candace are absolutely wonderful. I'm grateful for their Christian beliefs and faith.

When I was a young girl, I watched Kirk step away from his successful role in that show, at the height of its popularity, bcs he had become a Christian…and refused to follow a storyline the producers wanted, “a revolving door of overnight girlfriends.” He said, “kids are watching me, and I would never do that, ” or words to that effect. I had never in my life realized that there were young men out there WITH A MORAL CODE. I was shocked, amazed. I never forgot it. He made a big impact on me, before I came to Christ myself. Indeed, a good and faithful servant of the Lord(-:

Love you Mr. Kirk. I couldn’t survive without Christ. I am 30 with chronic illness. Gone through a lot in my life but I like to share my testimony because I know God counts on us to be messengers. I think it is a blessing for you to be a bold Christian.

I was a huge kirk Cameron fan as a child. Loved him. Joined his fan club...which sucked...waited many months and only got one stupid thing. I had every teen beat with his on the cover. Had a big poster of him on my bedroom wall. I was so sad when he left entertainment... but I understand and respect it now. Very glad to see him again after so long...still happily married. Normal and Healthy.

Let me say this first, Mr. Cameron ."I'm sorry, Kirk." When I was young (I'm about the same age as you), I thought you were crazy for leaving Hollyweird. I was an atheist, and I thought that you crazy for turning down all that money. It took me until about age 37 to see the light. I love what you're doing. Keep up the good fight!

[spiderman-nuxb]

Thank you Kirk, Isaiah 12:2, is what kept me here. I reached for one of three books on my coffee table, The Quaran, The Kindom Hall, and The KJV Bible...I was depressed a bit, coming home from a long work trip sat down and asked for help at about 1am, something pulled me towards the KJV, I wiped off the dust and thumb it and my thumb stopped on Isaiah 12:2. A shiver went up my spine, and i kid you not it felt like a tremendous weight had been lifted from my shoulders. Thank God...that was about 20 years ago. Thank you for all you do in spreading hope and faith.

[stevelozano]

Bless you Kirk for what you do and what you believe while maintaining your strengths while doing so in this troubled world we are in these days.🙏

[nicolesewell]

You're a true blessing Kirk, may God continue to bless you 🙏🏼

[Nancie]

I love it when he says … maybe you don’t know everything

[sherih.]

Kirk Cameron was my first kiss...on the poster on my wall in my room when I was 11!

[ouradventuresnspecialmoments]

♥️ you Kirk Cameron...So happy that Hollywood didn't ruined you & that you turned to God!

[dianefoister]

I have great respect for this man. Appreciate him for his stand for truth & right! His sister also takes a strong stand for Godly standards & being a role model for our youth. Kirk stepped up & we need more men like him! God bless you & keep you safe. Thank you for your testimony!
