Rick Alonzo
Rick Alonzo is the founder and president of Rick Alonzo Ministries. Born in the Philippines, Rick came to live in the United States at the age of twelve with his family of fourteen. After studying art from Long Beach State University, Rick returned to his home in Fresno where he worked for a nonprofit organization as their art director, teaching gymnastics and martial arts. It was during this time that Rick began to feel that something was missing in his life.
While humbly seeking the Lord’s will for his future, Rick clearly heard God tell him that he was to use his artistic gifts to reach the world for Him.
Since then, Rick's love for the Lord and for art has inspired countless people including children, youth, and adults. His desire to share the Gospel and fulfill the Great Commission is an inspiration to many.
For the past 30 years, Rick has travelled across the United States and in various parts of the world speaking and performing in different schools, prisons, churches, corporate companies, camps, hospitals, movie theaters, fairs and festivals, government events, malls, television, concerts, crusades, radio, and many other public arenas.
Rick resides in Central California with his wife, Michelle, daughter, Faith, and sons Gideon, Jaron, and Jude. He is an ordained evangelist, minister, and a certified speaker, trainer, and coach. His love for the Lord and for God's people is evident everywhere he goes.
