About Theo

Survival is part of the story.
Transformation is the
message.

Theo Makombe is a Rwandan-born author, international speaker, missionary leader, and Reality Reset coach.

At fourteen, Theo survived the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. His life since then has been devoted to helping people move beyond pain, recover purpose, strengthen their faith, and lead with wisdom.

For more than two decades, he has trained leaders, served communities, spoken in churches and public settings, and worked across cultures. He brings American audiences an uncommon worldview: one grounded in profound adversity, tested faith, forgiveness, and the conviction that people are capable of becoming more than what happened to them.
