***UPDATED with a smaller video file and audio download***
I had the opportunity to talk with Dino Rizzo recently and had a great conversation about servant evangelism, the Healing Place Church, and Dino’s new book Servolution. Have a look (our conversation lasts around 40 minutes or so):
Here is the audio of the interview if you’d like to listen to or download it (90 MB file):
About Dino Rizzo:
Dino and his wife DeLynn started Healing Place Church 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 7,000 people gathering every weekend in 18 services in 11 locations from Baton Rouge, Louisiana to Maputo, Mozambique.
For two consecutive years, 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 with 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.
Dino Rizzo also co-founded the Association of Related Churches, a group that on average plants one new church every 12 days. 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.
Dino’s book Servolution is now available! Visit the Servolution website for more information.

Based on the hundreds of email responses I received, a large number of you are having difficulty getting servant evangelism going. If you are wondering how to get servant evangelism started at your church, I think you will find this video very helpful:
I will be posting a few more videos this week, so stay tuned for my email updates about those.
Please leave a comment and let me know if you’ve found this helpful.
Keep walking in the outflow!

P.S. Look for the Dino Rizzo interview online tomorrow… it’s packed full of inspiration!
