John Ritcheson knows about God’s love. Maybe in a way that very few can explain. I can think of no one more qualified to try and describe the indescribable and capture in words that which cannot quite be contained by human understanding. John will come as close to it as any author you will read because he has personally experienced God’s love for himself. The redemption road for John led to the cross and from there he has taken a world-wide journey of ministry and modeled God’s love as a faithful husband, father, friend and minister.

Bishop John D. Ritcheson has been a fulltime evangelist for the past 27 years. During this time he has held over 900 revivals all across America, where thousands of souls have been saved and set free by God’s glorious power. He has served on the Board of Governors at the National Bible College in Washington D.C. for the past 6 years. He has spoken at hundreds of public schools across America, warning students about the dangers of drugs and gang involvement by sharing his life’s experiences. He has been happily married to his wife Roxanne for over 34 years. He has two children, a daughter Sarah Marie who is 24 years old and a son John Raymond who is 19 years old. Both are serving the lord and attending College. He is living his dream.

28 years ago he was a drug addict and alcoholic, and involved in criminal activity. His life was almost destroyed by the time he was 24. Then, John had an encounter with Jesus that changed his life forever. Through this divine encounter Jesus gave him his life back. For the last 27 years he has spent his life sharing God’s love and mercy to all who will listen.

By letting people know what God has done for him and countless others and that he can do the same for you also is his heartfelt desire. John’s message is that God will and can give you a new life, filled with hope. No matter whom you are or where you’ve been, it is never too late to start over with God’s help and love.
