An honest question here folks. Neither the Ruach church website, or Bishop John Francis’ site state the doctrine or fundamental beliefs of the church. Even Bishop T. D . Jakes carries a statement of faith on his church website. I am not sure why there is no faith statement on Bishop Francis and Ruach Ministries website, but I’d really like to see one.
I am not sure what they actually believe and teach about Jesus Christ, redemption, salvation, and so on. I am not saying this to knock, but I would like to know what a preacher believes before I listen to them, to see if what they stand for is backed up by the Word of God. Having a Charismatic Ministry is not enough, evidence of a solid bible based foundation is needed.
Ironically, the site carries a ‘biography’ of Bishop and 1st Lady Francis and lists their itenary and also ‘products’ for sale… but nothing of the gospel. Also, the church site only carries the address of the church. Could a doctrinal statement please be added – so that there’s something about JESUS on the pages for this popular ministry.

Good question indeed. I have had the pleasure of hearing Bishop Francis speak in person and I can tell you he delivered a Biblically sound message of hope and dememtion only through Jesus.
I’d suggest you submit your question to the ministry’s webmaster through the “contact us” tab. I’m sure they have a statement of faith, but simply failed to publish it on their sites.

Thanks, that is a very good suggestion. I have just emailed johnfrancis@ordermysteps.org.uk and asked if they would add a statement of faith to the site.

I am interested to know if you got a response as yet, as I hear you and agree with your point of view.

I rather see a statement of faith manifested through the person of Jesus Christ rather than the other way around. Everyone on the planet knows about Jesus. Action speaks louder than a statement.

Perhaps he doesn’t do this because he doesn’t want you to label him (As in group him as believeing in a baptist, apostolic, pentecostal doctrine, etc….. he just preaches the Gospel of Jesus that’s it). As with any preacher, you should know the Word for yourself and not just accept what they say…… I’m from America but I have been attending Ruach for the past couple of months while i’m in London for school and it is really a blessed and high time in the Lord…..
