MEET THE FOUNDER

​

Andre Diaz is the Founder and Field Director of RESTORE, a compassion-driven ministry based in Tampa Bay that was birthed in 2017. He and his wife Monica are both ordained pastors who have been faithfully serving in ministry for over 17 years. Married for 28 years with four beautiful children, and a grandson, they’ve built a life centered on Christ, family, and radical obedience to the call of God.

 

This call would lead them to relocate from Philadelphia to Florida to establish a new base of operations for the ministry. It was only nine months later that RESTORE was launched into full-scale action in response to a major hurricane. Providing relief, assisting local Pastors and churches with reaching the most vulnerable. It was that season that the Lord would make it abundantly clear, that RESTORE was birthed "for such a time as this".

​

Their conviction is simple but costly: please God at all costs, and go where others won’t. That call has taken them into disaster zones, underserved communities, broken churches, and across international borders — bringing mercy to the hurting and hope to the forgotten.

​

RESTORE exists to be the hands and feet of Jesus in the hardest moments. Through preaching, provision, rebuilding, and compassion, they run toward the broken — not away from them. This is not just ministry. It’s the Kingdom in motion.
