Mike and Anne Rizzo were born and raised in Buffalo, New York, committing their lives to Christ as young adults in 1975. They met one another while attending Elim Bible Institute in Rochester, NY and were married in 1981. From 1982 to 2003, they served the Lord in full time ministry: as an Assistant Pastor in a large congregation for 10 years in Orchard Park, NY, and then as Senior Pastor of a church in Lockport, NY, for 10 years. Anne home schooled their three children all the way through high school, during which time they were actively involved in the leadership of a homeschool support group.
Mike and Anne took a sabbatical from official pastoral ministry in 2003 and went into the workplace for a season. During this time they assisted in the planting of a new church, which is currently their home fellowship. (www.harborlightsfellowship.org)
Their son Justin joined the staff of the International House of Prayer in 2004 and after making frequent visits for a couple of years the Rizzo's felt that God was leading them to dedicate their lives to the prayer movement. In the spring of 2007 they left their jobs, sold their house and relocated to Kansas City, Missouri. At this writing, their entire family serves on staff at the IHOP-KC Missions base.
They see their current ministry assignment as being two-fold: 1) to dedicate their lives to the prayer movement; to see kings and priests take their rightful place before the Throne in intercession. 2) To work with married and pre-marital couples; to see the prophetic picture of Christ and the church reflected in every marriage.

Longing for Eden: Embracing God's vision in your marriage, is a newly released inspirational book that will challenge couples and inspire singles, to more clearly see God's intent for marriage. The authors write from thirty years of pastoral experience, much of which has been in the realm of marital and pre-marital counseling. Their passion is to see husbands and wives dwell together as "married disciples."
Small Group Study Guide (covers all 14 chapters) is included in the book. Over 170 questions, designed for individual couples or small groups to study together.
"Being a Christian married to a Christian will not automatically mean that your marriage will be a God-centered one." It is imperative that we be intentional in pursuing the gold that God is developing from our one flesh marriage union. A key component in this process is to see beyond the rewards and blessings of this life, into the age to come.
"Every marriage must choose its world. A marriage invested in the age to come will reap the greatest return in this age." Longing for Eden is a call to come up higher. We don't just want to view the Promised Land of marriage blessing; we want to enter in.
