Radio personality Father John Riccardo and ACTS XXIX are launching The Rescue Project Live! on June 18 and 19 at the Celeste Center of the Ohio Expo Center (state fairgrounds) in Columbus.
Adults and youth from freshmen in high school and older are invited to hear the Gospel proclaimed by Father Riccardo, who will help attendees “make sense of it all and answer the deepest cry of our hearts.”  
Father Riccardo, a priest of the Archdiocese of Detroit, is the founder and executive director of ACTS XXIX, a non-profit apostolate that seeks to help get God’s world back by equipping clergy and lay leaders to meet today’s challenges.
The Rescue Project is the outgrowth of his work with nearly 2,000 priests during the past three years, and he is inviting and preparing lay people to spend two days with him praying and learning about God’s plan.  
Father Riccardo said, “God wants not only the world back, but He wants Columbus back. Not just those in the pews, but all of Columbus. Bring everyone. Bring your family, friends, co-workers and neighbors. 
“God has begun a movement to draw people closer to Himself, to shatter fear and anxiety, to give us hope, to give us confidence, to give us a language to use to go out on mission.”    
The event will include music by the Damascus Catholic Mission Campus worship team, talks by Father Riccardo, time to pray and reflect, food and fellowship. Father Riccardo hopes that Columbus will fill the Celeste Center with 5,000 people who want to “put on the mindset of Christ.”
In August, Father Riccardo and the ACTS XXIX team will follow up The Rescue Project Live! with a free video series and training booklet that will continue to help people surrender their lives to Jesus Christ. 
He said that people are “rescued” by faith and are called to share it with others. The goal of The Rescue Project is to bring Jesus into relationships.  
Tickets for The Rescue Project Live! cost $30 for the two-day event. It is being organized and presented by St. Gabriel Catholic Radio in cooperation with The Catholic Foundation, the Damascus Catholic Mission Campus, the Diocese of Columbus, the Columbus Catholic Women’s Conference, the Columbus Catholic Men’s Ministry, Young Catholic Professionals, Sacred Heart Enthronement Network, St. Paul’s Outreach, FOCUS, Serra Clubs of Columbus and the Knights of Columbus. 
In a video interview with Father David Sizemore, pastor of Newark St. Francis de Sales Church, Father Riccardo said, “A person should be gradually overwhelmed by the Gospel to surrender their whole life to Jesus. Only Jesus is Lord. We should be passionately convinced that He conquered sin and death, and we should want to share Him with others.”
