Dino and his wife DeLynn started Healing Place Church in Baton Rouge, LA in 1993 with the single focus of being a healing place for a hurting world. Starting with just twelve, it has now grown to over 8,200 people gathering every week in 8 locations from Baton Rouge, Louisiana to Maputo, Mozambique. Healing Place Church has been listed as one of America’s Top 25 Most Innovative Churches. That innovative drive is expressed in a passion to serve the poor and hurting – wherever they are, and whatever it takes. Every week hundreds of volunteers serve in outreaches – cooking hot breakfasts for the homeless, helping ex-prisoners re-enter society, caring for AIDS orphans, giving roses to ladies working at local strip clubs, and reaching the poor through free medical and dental clinics and many other outreaches.

Dino Rizzo’s book, SERVOLUTION, exposes his passion to see believers join together in a revolution of serving others – Jesus style. He co-founded the Association of Related Churches, a growing group of churches devoted to planting hundreds of new churches across the country. He is a strong believer in the irreplaceable value of the local church – in the USA and across the globe. He also believes that as believers we can do more when we are together, leveraging each other’s strengths to build the Kingdom. As a result, some of his greatest assets are deep relationships with others. And there are no relationships that matter more to him than those he shares with his wife DeLynn and their three children.
