A Voice of Healing, Freedom and Spiritual Formation.
Three pillars carry the whole message — the same thread through every talk, mentoring conversation and page of the book.
Healing
Encountering the love and power of Jesus in the places where fear, sickness and disappointment have taken root — and receiving what only He can restore.
Read the healing message02Identity
Moving from performance, striving and approval-seeking into the security of being known, loved and sealed by the Father — sons and daughters before servants.
Read the identity message03Formation

Marked by His Love — Maria Sainz’s message
Marked by His Love
Lived testimony. Biblical teaching. Decades of ministry.
Maria doesn't speak from theory. She teaches what she has walked — through healing, through fire, and through years of pastoring, mentoring and equipping believers alongside her husband Rick.
Lived testimony
Healed of breast cancer during a mission to Brazil with Randy Clark — a story her audiences carry home.
Biblical teaching
Every message is anchored in Scripture, discipleship and the finished work of Jesus — never in hype.
Ministry experience
Co-founder of Red Seal Ministries in San Diego, host of the yearly RESTORED healing and deliverance conferences.
Spiritual maturity
A voice that carries authority without theatrics — sober, prayerful and pastoral in every room.
Practical outcomes
People leave equipped: freer, more rooted in identity, and ready to steward the healing and gifts God is releasing.
Warmth and credibility
Approachable, honoring of leaders and their teams — easy to host, easy to interview, easy to trust.

Married since 1997 and co-founders of Red Seal Ministries in San Diego, Maria and Rick pastor, teach and travel together — a shared calling to see the church walk in healing, freedom and spiritual maturity.
Miracles Still Happen.
A personal testimony of faith, perseverance and the God who still meets people in impossible places.
Maria shares her journey through breast cancer, the promises that sustained her and the healing breakthrough she experienced during a mission in Brazil.
- Healing
- Faith under fire
- Identity
- The love of the Father
From a broom-closet prayer in Westwood to a healing in Brazil.
Raised Catholic and searching through other faiths, Maria met Jesus at a church in Westwood and later received a Holy Spirit impartation that ignited a lifelong healing ministry. Five months after founding Red Seal Ministries with her husband Rick, she was diagnosed with breast cancer — and was miraculously healed on the last day of a Global Awakening mission in Brazil with Randy Clark. The healing she received became the healing she now carries.
