- About Me:
- Dr. Vince and Laura Rizzo, are Directors of Ames International School Of Ministry and Dr. Vince is the president of Ames Christian University, They have been in evangelistic and pastoral ministry for over 20 years, including teaching pastors from around the globe. During their public ministry, they have ministered through radio and television and they have preached in hundreds of churches and are now Overseeing all the day to day affairs of two international schools.
Vince and Laura, who married in 1985, first began by working in many positions within the church for many years in whatever capacity and door God opened. They have lived by faith having worked extensively with churches and outreaches serving in most positions within the church with specific experience in homeless feeding programs in the inner-cities and Christian rehab programs.
God eventually used this training ground to operate and pastor their own gospel homeless mission church for several years which was affiliated with the Dream Center out of Los Angeles, California, owned by Tommy and Matthew Barnett. With the help of over 60 volunteers from area churches, this mission provided church services, homeless meals, a weekly food basket distribution program clothing, toiletries, hair cuts, medications and medical checkups by the Salvation Army, and was a referral service for other agencies to 12,000 persons per year out of a small 700 square foot storefront with no kitchen facilities!!!!!! God can truly use whatever you give Him!!!
Together they were also Directors of a Christian Discipleship Training Center from a miraculously donated $2,000,000 property with a 14-unit motel and 45-seat restaurant on eight acres. This was utilized to facilitate a no-cost, one year, Quality-of-Life Program for men suffering from addictions which they ran by faith and prayer and local community funding. Both properties and their mobile home operated solely by faith and prayer and a small monthly newsletter which generated $5,000 per month which miraculously covered their overhead each month. How great is the faithfulness of God!! They truly saw "the loaves & fishes multiplied" every month, year after year.
Dr. Vince also had the privilege of attending Faith International Training School under auspices of Dr. David T. Demola, graduating in 2002 and then was asked to teach pastors from around the world the principles of faith he learned through God's training. These classes were taught in Fort Myers and also transmitted via satellite to students at Faith Fellowship Ministries World Outreach Center located in Sayreville, New Jersey. Well known teachers at this school included Bob Yandian, Bobby Jean Merrick, Robert Cornwall, Neil Gass and others.
Dr. Vince also assumed the position of the Director of the Helpdesk and a Board Member for the then 20,000 student online bible college and he also worked with Bellsouth Internet in as a tech support troubleshooter for their 3,000,000 customers.
These two positions prepared him to found Ames International School Of Ministry in September, 2003, under the covering of Ames Christian University, in Naples, Florida, which was founded by Todd Wieland.
As Ames International School Of Ministry was birthed under the covering of Ames Christian University, both Vince and Laura were able to obtain their Bachelor of Biblical Studies from Ames Christian University. Vince then went on to receive his Doctorate degree (Ed.D) from Therapon University in the concentration of Christian Education. As well as a (DBA) from Spenser University.
As of January 1, 2005, Vince and Laura have also become the Directors of Ames Christian University as Vince was named President and CEO by Todd Wieland.
Vince and Laura are now representing in the US and abroad, the ministries of:
Ames International School Of Ministry
Ames Extension Centers
Ames Christian University
Faith-Space.com
Their goal is to bring the gospel to nations and peoples in an affordable venue so that the transforming power of the gospel can reach disadvantaged students, who will then train and equip others to reap a harvest of souls for the Kingdom of God. Their greatest desire is to train students to go to beyond salvation, to seek to live holy lives, fight the good fight of faith, to completely trust in God, their creator and to faithfully, loyally and whole-heartedly obey, serve and love God and others, thus changing the world for Christ.
Vince and Laura are available to minister at your church or conference or revival services on a love offering basis, plus room and travel expenses. Laura also speaks and sings and is available for women's conferences.

TENNESEE OR BUST
TENNESEE OR BUST
By Pastor Laura Rizzo
04/07/08
One of the worst and yet rather humorous times of our Christian training began in 1986 in Florida and took us on a journey to Greeneville, Tennessee. Amazingly we saw the mighty, miraculous and sovereign hand of God intervene in our lives repeatedly and learned some incredible lessons along the way…
We married in 1985 and at the end of our first year an offer came our way to live rent free, work at and be the Chaplains of a campground in Naples,… Continue

Spiders, Snakes and Faith
By Laura Rizzo
This chapter happened five years after the chapter entitled “Tennessee or Bust” so I suggest that if you haven’t read that “test’ first that you do so as you will see some incredible similarities. If you have already read that chapter, please keep the details in mind.
As I begin this, I never, EVER, EVER in all my life figured that ANYTHING could be WORSE than what we went through in Tennessee. But, you know before you read this, that that is exactly w… Continue

Rising Up Spiritual Leaders
Rising Up Spiritual Leaders, By Dr. Vince Rizzo
“It is not our responsibility “to make people ‘Christians'” and get them baptized into a particular denomination, but rather to help people decide to follow Jesus and his radical message. Maybe this is why the New Testament writers only use “Christian” three times but disciple on 269 occasions!”
— Getman, Tom. World Vision International, quoted in Christianity Today magazine, “Reflections,” March 6, 2000, Vol. 44, No. 3, p. 84.
