Bishop John Francis is a man of distinction, someone with
a clear sense of purpose and willing to stand in the face of adversity.
His anointing is evident and the trademark dynamism associated with him,
injects ‘life’ and restoration wherever he goes. Sharing his
Vision, Bishop Francis challenges the Body of Christ to shake off complacency
and live as God intended, fruitful and effective.
He is uncompromising and means serious business for God. As a result,
he is always in great demand for preaching engagements, as well as imparting
ministerial advice and spiritual wisdom through the covering he offers
Pastors as part of his established Patris Fellowship. Operating in his
gift as an Apostle and speaking with a prophetic voice, Bishop Francis
preaches the unadulterated Word of God and, as a consequence, many can
testify that their lives have changed, for the better.
