James DeMelo is a former internationally known bodybuilder turned preacher and author. After years of pastoring, James founded Andrizo Ministries, the creators ofThe Return, The Awakening, andThe Mantle, which are 4-5 day intensives on the virtues of manhood and spiritual growth that have impacted the lives of thousands of men across the globe. James is a gifted communicator whose passion, boldness, and often humorous style bring the gospel to life. His battles and victories with lust, pride, fame, and death have made him a highly respected example to many of whom he mentors. However, James feels his greatest achievement is his marriage of thirty-four-plus years to his wife Misty and raising three amazing daughters, Alexa, Mikayla, and Elissa.

“Although being a Christian for 40+ years, I never really understood what my Heavenly Father’s view of me was. I discovered His view and His Love at The Return, it’s been 3+ years now and it’s like I was just there last week.  I still experience the Holy Spirit’s presence & the Andrizo brotherhood everyday.”

THE RETURN

★★★★★

“As a Combat Veteran, I learned how to better cope with challenges related to PTSD from fighting the war in Iraq. I recommend any combat veteran attend this journey to experience freedom. Heroes Return is where I became a free man, an Andrizo man.”

HEROES RETURN

★★★★★

“This retreat gave me perspective on what it means to both lead and fight for my family. If you want to know what it looks like to take your next step spiritually, emotionally and physically, this is the only place you will find it. Be warned, this is not for the weak or for the proud, this is for men who are both tough and tender – TNT men.”

MARK

THE AWAKENING

★★★★★

“My experience is now a memorial stone in my life of the time when I have heard the voice of The Father more clearly than I ever have and is when I know that I became a stronger and more faithful warrior in God’s Kingdom.  What are you waiting for? ”

MISSION

One of the great life questions men ask themselves is“why am I here on this earth?”. Often, the answer eludes them, leaving them unfulfilled in their daily lives. Our mission is to help men find and embrace their God-given purpose in a healthy and productive way by teaching them to reject apathy, take responsibility for themselves and their families, lead courageously, and live for a cause greater than themselves. As a result, leaders and heroes are born.
