Ronald Rodrigo and his wife Ingrid are the senior pastors of Restore Community Church. God called Ronald, who was a National Rugby football player, into the ministry 27 years ago while attending a service in the Assembly of God church in Sri Lanka. Since his encounter with Jesus, Ronald and his wife have never looked back, but have followed Jesus all through their lives.

Ronald effectively ministered at Peoples Church Sri Lanka for 5 years before migrating to Australia. After having been led by the Lord to do his biblical studies at Harvest Bible College, Ronald pioneered the Hospital Ministry, and pastorally cared for hundreds of people living in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. He then served on staff at a church in Dandenong for 14 years, involved with pastoral care, looking after new Christians, and running one of the best Alpha courses in this nation, which thousands of people have attended.

After 22 years at Dandenong, on the instruction of the Lord and with the blessing of the church and in conjunction with the Assemblies of God church planting board, Restore Community Church was birthed. Ronald, Ingrid, and their 6 children and 2 sons-in-law have set out to serve the community with the vision God has given them. With over two decades of pastoral and leadership experience, Ronald's ministry is positively focused, motivational and challenging.

Ronald has a passion to add value to others out of the experience of his own journey. His personal mission statement is to inspire faith and see people experience God in their life through the word and prayer. Ronald is passionately committed to the ministry of one on one for the cause of Christ, and loves seeing people fulfill their God given destiny. Ingrid's personal passion is to help women in their struggles and families. She continually ministers to women of all cultures and successfully mentors, motivates and helps women to be all they can be for the cause of Christ.

Ronald holds strong the value of personal holiness, being led by the Spirit, living life with the agape love of God and walking by faith. Ronald and Ingrid have been married for 31 years and are blessed with six children and two sons in-law.
