Founder & Lead Pastor

Pastor Ricardo Zaal

Pastor Ricardo Zaal is the founder and lead pastor of Fountain of Grace International in Pretoria North. He has been in ministry since 10 February 2000 — over two decades of consistent leadership, discipleship, and pastoral experience.

He began his ministry journey in Postmasburg, where he gave his life fully to Christ and committed to a life of faith and discipline. He later served at Bread of Life Ministries in Riverlea, Johannesburg — working as the youth leader's right hand, and eventually as an elder — building a deep foundation in ministry and people development.

After relocating to Pretoria North, he continued as a pastor at Rehoboth Chapel International until 2018. In June 2020, during the Covid-19 season, he founded Fountain of Grace International — a ministry focused on discipleship, restoration, and equipping individuals and families to build stable, purpose-driven lives through faith.

His ministry is grounded in practical teaching, personal responsibility, and raising people who are equipped to lead in their own lives. He leads Sunday services every week at 09:00 and is available to his community directly — not behind an appointment wall.

He is a husband and father, living in Pretoria North. You can reach him via WhatsApp or through the contact form.

Leading FGI as a registered NPO (316-193) in Pretoria North. Sunday services every week at 09:00. Husband, father, and available to his community.

How he leads

Practical over performative

Every message is built around a real problem — something people are actually dealing with in their week. Not theory. Not a show.

Available to people

He is not behind an appointment system. If you need to talk, you can reach him directly via WhatsApp. That is not a slogan — it is how he operates.

Accountability without guilt

He holds people to a high standard but does not use guilt as a tool. People are called up, not put down.

Family and community first

He is a husband and father. He understands what it means to lead a family in Pretoria North in 2025 — and he teaches from that reality.
