Rick Piña: A Life Dedicated to Making the Most of God’s Grace


Personal Background


Rick Piña, born in Brooklyn to immigrant parents from the Dominican Republic, was raised in a vibrant and diverse environment. This background has afforded him with the unique ability to connect with people from all walks of life, mirroring the Apostle Paul’s approach of becoming "all things to all people" through the grace of God. Rick’s journey of faith began early and has since flourished into a profound ministry impacting countless lives globally.


Overall Ministry


Together with his wife Isabella, Rick leads Rick and Isabella Piña Ministries (RIPMinistries), which was around (in concept) since the early 2000s, but was formally incorporated in 2007. They founded and oversee Grace Destiny Church and Grace Destiny Academy in the Dominican Republic, established in 2015 after Rick and Isabella retired from the military. Here, they provide Christ-centered education to over 200 disadvantaged children. The school’s dedicated staff ensures that each child is trained to become the person God has called them to be. Rick’s ministry is grounded in the principles of faith, hope, and grace, continually striving to help others discover and fulfill their divine purpose.

Isabella PINA


Isabella Piña was born Isabella Toussaint in the island of Dominica.  She was raised in a humble village by her Grandmother, who believed in her.  Her Grandmother’s confidence in her helped Isabella develop a tireless dedication in school.  God’s hand was on Isabella, she excelled in school, and after High School, she traveled to the United States (U.S.), shortly after which she enlisted in the United States Army as an Automated Logistical Specialist.


After serving the United States in Korea and Texas as an Enlisted Soldier, she deployed to Bosnia-Herzegovina.  While in Bosnia Isabella returned to the God of her youth – rededicating her life to Jesus Christ.


While serving the Lord in both the military and in ministry, Isabella became an officer (an Army Nurse), and she served as a nurse (for both God and the Army), in Georgia, Washington, Iraq, and in the Washington DC area.  After 21 years of dedicated service in the U.S. Army, Isabella retired in August, 2015.


Isabella holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a Master’s degree in Healthcare Management. She is currently working on her Doctor of Nursing.


Isabella is currently the CEO/Founder of Inspired Solutions Inc., an IT Reseller and Logistics Mgmt Company.
