Hello, we are the Rizzo family - John, Tracy, Justin, Ty, Joey and Bella.

For the last 20 years we have been in ministry and passionately answering God's call to introduce orphans to their Heavenly Father locally through foster care as well as internationally.

For almost a decade we have been serving as full time missionaries for an orphan care organization in Texas. In 2019, John was ordained by our sending church and in 2024, the Lord confirmed the call to pastor. During this time we told the Lord we would go anywhere but only wanted to go where He was sending us. After fasting, praying and asking the Lord to confirm through a trip, God has made it clear that we are to go back to our hometown of Rochester, NY and plant a church in the city.

The Lord has continuously highlighted John 4:38 to us -"I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor."

We believe the Lord is already working in hearts in Rochester and that the Lord has invited us to be a part of what He is doing.

Thank you for praying and supporting us on this journey. If you would like to learn more please contact us.
