Dr. David L. Rambo, former president of the U.S. Christian and Missionary Alliance, passed into the presence of the Lord on Friday, March 11, 2016.
Dr. Rambo was elected eighth president of the U.S. Alliance at the C&MA’s Centennial Council in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1987. He served three full terms as president before assuming the role of president of Alliance Theological Seminary in 1996, where he served until 2000 before retiring.
Prior to his Alliance presidency, Dr. Rambo served as president of Nyack College (1982–1987); vice president of U.S. C&MA Overseas Ministries (1979–1982); president of Canadian Bible College and Canadian Theological Seminary (1972–1978), where he had previously served as professor of world missions; and, with his beloved wife, Ruth, as a missionary in the Philippines (1961–1970). Ruth passed into the Lord’s presence in 2011.
“Since first meeting David 30 years ago, I have viewed him as one of the finest men and leaders among us,” remembers current U.S. Alliance president John Stumbo. “I will miss him and his influence in my life greatly.”
Please pray for Dr. Rambo’s three daughters and their families during this difficult time of grieving.
